What does a gal have to do to get a nap around here?

I'm feeling a bit rotten (or maybe more than a bit)...mood and physical. I decided to skip the mall in my search for green clothes for Bug's Halloween costume and take a nap when he was sleeping. Good plan, right? I tucked him in, Donnie settled in to watch some football and I headed straight for bed.

About 10 minutes into my *almost* nap, the phone rang. Fine, Donnie's on it--one ring and no more. Great, back to trying to fall asleep. A few minutes later our house alarm goes off warning of a low battery. It won't stop beeping. ARRRRGGGH. After punching about 38 random buttons it stops and Bug stays asleep. Whew, back to the bed. Twenty minutes later the damn house alarm goes off again. Forget it I'm up...apparently I wasn't meant to nap and I still don't have Bug's green clothes for his costume. I am however in my jammies in the middle of a rainy afternoon and that doesn't seem bad at all.

Random.org picked number 10 for the book, Marrying George Clooney (I do love that title). Desert Rose from Desert Rose Moments is the winner. Please email me and let me know where I should send it.

    I hate when the phone rings during a nap! It won't ring at all the entire day but the second you close your eyes....

    Oh, I've learned the hard way to unplug the phone when I try to take a nap. Works like a charm. So far, I've been lucky and the house alarm hasn't been a problem. Doorbell is a little harder to manage though and my 3 1/2 year old, well I have to wait until she is out with her dad.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

    I can guarantee that my phone will ring if I even pretend to take a nap. Trust me, I've tried.

    Wishing you sweet dreams...hugs.

    I agree with mama-face. I just can NOT get a break! Ever! And the opportunity doesn't come around often, so that makes it even more hard. Here's hoping you can get a nap in sometime...soon! :)

    Ha! Sounds like my life at the moment...I would probably kill for jammies in the middle of the day, and a rainy one at that!! Sorry you didnt get the nap though.

    Nap? I keep telling my boys to take advantage of naps because some day they'll be longing for the days when they could.

    Hope you're feeling better!

    Why can't we ever get needed rest?

    Is it a conspiracy?

    This is what I get for falling out of blogland for a week, I missed your giveaway!

    I am so sorry your nap was thwarted - I HATE that! Nothing worse, in my book. You're on the verge, and then it's just GONE.
