#2886 Laying down

Dec 1

I decided to actually take someone's advice today.

I was feeling low, sickly and tired. When Hubbie said to me, "lie down while baby boy's napping"... I knew it was the best thing for me to do.

It was his midday nap, so I knew it would be a bit long, plus he had been not himself, so I felt fairly confident the nap would actually be lengthy.

I lay down... and sure, I wasn't asleep asleep. I could hear the noises around me, the traffic outside, the white noise machine through the baby monitor, the wind knocking the mesh door outside, and the birds calling amongst the trees.

And the whole time my eyes were closed, random Wiggles songs playing in my head, interspersed with that new Selena Gomez song, and then I could see my cat, Mister F, walking around the yard, and there were other things too...

I did kinda doze I guess. Just the fact of lying down for 50 minutes when I'm always go go go, it was a little lifesaver.
