Guest Napper #119 – Pooped by Pageantry

When I see how this little guy collapsed so near to this cabinet of pageant beauties, I wonder if these dolled-up runway creatures are not modern-day sirens…forcing us all to crash upon the rocks like the doomed sailors of olde.

Watch out, Honey Boo Boo fans. Ronan was no match for the glitter.  You may be next.

Although, I have to say, the nap appears to be pretty fine. He gets a 10 from the judges for his sleepwear. Now THAT is a pageant worth watching!

Guest Napper #118 – Incompletely Inked

With the onset of half-day school for my kids, I have also seen an increase in the number of dead-asleep-colored-too-many-alphabets-today naps.

Molly may be suffering from one too many trips to the library. It looks like she’s sitting at Mom’s desk, too. Has she been overdoing those educational computer activities? Who can say…

Was she waiting for a file to load? Or…?

You may also notice that, before she went to sleep, she drew on her legs with her pen. Back in  my day, that would have been erasable pen (phew) but I have bad news for Mom…nobody uses those crappy pens anymore. This is bound to be the real deal.

Now the question – move her straight to bed? Or have her wake up refreshed at 6p.m.?

A PENny for your thoughts on that one. Or a PUNny. Ohhhhhh…I need a vacation.

 

Guest Napper #117: All TIREd Out

As school begins again, Kimberly has to admit that she may have taken her kids to the park one too many times this summer.

I think I’d better stop before I come up with another pun. Happy back-to-school to all!

Guest Nappers #115 and #116 and Guy Who Is Awake

As you plunge into the seething tide of automobile-encased humanity on this fine Friday-before-Labor-Day-Weekend, I give you this retro nap submitted by a reader.

Before massive SUVs…

There’s nothing I DON’T like about this scene. First of all, it reminds me of my many cross-country drives with my folks in the eighties, as my brother and I clawed each other’s eyes out in the back seat of our 1979 VW Rabbit. Second, it shows how we all used to get along before every vehicle had three seats and fifty DVD players.

Hey, I had a walkman and mini cards to play solitaire.

And the Holiday Inn pool.

And my awesome eighties self.

Two outta three ain’t bad on a long car trip. At least there’s no fighting. Happy Labor Day and drive and nap safely, peeps!
