Guest Napper #85 – Weary Wednesday
By Wednesday, the week is just too much sometimes. Erika sent me this picture of Tristan, which pretty much represents how I feel by 5 p.m. on hump day.
My bed is too soft.
Mind you, I’ve wanted to hide under my desk more often. I mean, I don’t have a drawer under my bed. I have an underbed storage box, though.
Snug in there?
Just keep swimming, little man. Just keep swimming.
We all will.
Guest Napper #84 – Going to the Dogs
I laughed out loud (no, REALLY, like a Gen X’er – for real) when Michael sent me this picture of his son, who fell asleep at the table while his Dad was fetching him a clean shirt.
May the odds be ever in your favor, hounds.
It’s a good thing these dogs are friendly, because I think they are really anxious to lick up the rest of the mess the little guy made when he spilled on his shirt…and then collapsed from exhaustion. In fact, his Dad tells me that, unseen by the camera, his son is holding an uneaten sandwich in his hand under the table.
Drool.
Come to think of it, I almost ended up looking like this after Easter dinner. Everyone is grateful I kept my clothes on, though.
Just keep it together and get through Monday, people.
Guest Napper #81 – Rainy Day Rest
Kathy has given me the perfect guest napper for a slightly damp spring day!
It is, after all, that season when you’re neither here nor there. Neither hot nor cold. Neither dry nor wet. Neither barefoot nor panted.
Wait. Neither barefoot nor panted?
Ready for any weather. As long as it's not too cold.
Joey, here, was so excited about his little wellies that he couldn’t be parted from them…neither from the wellies nor from his nap, apparently. He’s a full-on Christopher Robin, just waiting to conquer the Hundred Acre Wood.
In his dreams, anyway.
He looks very serious about it.
Is that Pooh’s honey pot to Joey’s right? Oh, I do hope so. I am rather grumbly in my tummy.
Oh bother. Somebody’s been napping…
Perhaps, when he wakes, Kanga and Roo can convince Joey he should become one with the panted people. For now, the boots will have to do.
Guest Napper #79 – Scintillating Spring Break
I know this isn’t true for everyone, but today is the first day of what promises to be a very loooooong Spring Break for me.
Mind you, there was a time when Spring Break meant flirting with cute guys and cruising in borrowed convertibles. I wore a few outfits that scandalized my mother. I may have even taken a few naps…after being up until late at night annoying the regular residents of Palm Springs along with my thousands of spring breaking pals. I think we broke their spring, for sure. Anyhoo…
This picture from Dainelle, however, shows more accurately what I have to look forward to this week. I would say “let’s take the kids to an art museum” but Devon isn’t finding art very stimulating. Her drawing does appear to be soothing, however.
Sometimes art is boring.
I have to say that if Devon (a girl) is finding this coloring boring, you can bet the boys will last about 60 seconds at this activity, after which they will go out into the backyard and spend the next hour covering themselves in potting soil.
I so look forward to cleaning that up.
Devon looks like the coloring wore her out, though.
I'm just closing my eyes for a second, Mom.
Yep. I am looking forward to this week. Mmmhhhmmmm.
Yes, indeedy.
