Nap Justification.

Well, for those of you who don't know, I am a daily napper. Yup, I am admitting it to everyone who visits this blog. And guess what, I am quite proud of it! (I defend myself in saying that I wake up at approximately 4:30 every morning to go the gym. That may differ by about 30 minutes depending on the day. But at that early hour it's all the same to me!) I realize there are others of you out there who wake up at that disgusting hour as well, and you make it through the day just fine without a snooze.....But guess what I read today? People who take an afternoon nap have a better memory! It all makes sense now....I can recount any past event....(Chad will ask me what we did on this date back when and I can tell him....) it's all due to the daily nap! There you have it---I can justify my nap even more!

My favorite time of the day (besides my nap) is when I fetch Myka from her crib--she is all smiles and practically hyperventilating at my presence. I wish I felt that way when I woke up!!

No one ever needs to justify a nap to me! :)

I'm amazed that you find time to take a nap with your 2 kiddo's. That's awesome. I only take naps when I'm pregnant, and then I take them every day. However, 4:30a.m. is the middle of the night for me. I roll out of bed at about 8:00 every morning. You totally deserve a nap!!!

Naps are nothing to be ashamed of - I took one everyday until Greg stopped a few months ago. And I wasn't getting up at 4:30 to go to the gym! I say if you can get one - take one!

Woah crazy lady... 4:30?? Now that is discipline! I tried the 6:00 thing- yeah didn't go too well. I think I need more sleep than most people;-)I'm with Shelley, I wake up at about 8:30 every day... and I get a nap!

I am amazed at your willpower! Good work!

I love to sleep. Especially since I am pregnant. I can't seem to get enough. I will start waking up early after the baby and when we get on a good schedule.
This post explains why I am so smart...

I'm a huge napping fan. Unfortunately I don't get one every day, but that's due to mine and Parker's sleeping in every morning. If I'm up before 8:00 am, I am for sure going to take a nap during the day.

I too love naps! Our naps are sacred in our fam. On weekends I even get all my kids to nap, 7,5 and 2 year olds. Its the best time of the day, plus the cuddle after the nap is just icing on the cake.
Should we form a group called N.A.(nappers anonymous)?
Hi, my name is Candi and I'm addicted to naps.
