I took a much needed nap yesterday afternoon. Actually, I took a nap because I stayed up too late the night before watching an 90's movie. I should have gone to bed anyway. I didn't stay up late saving lives or feeding a newborn. So, it seems selfish for me to nap during my kids' Spring Break.
When I woke up, my cute kids were playing nicely with each other. They said Charleigh woke up from her nap and I needed to go take care of her. I don't' wake up very quickly. I am usually somewhere between wakefulness and my last dream.
I dreamt I was rearranging furniture and plants in my home. I really never have had a large enough home of my own or a lot of furniture to make big changes.
I put my plants on a shelf in a cupboard. It wasn't a kitchen cupboard; more of a low priority cupboard. A few weeks later, I opened the cupboard to find a few dead plants.
I love to psychoanalyze my own dreams. Are the plants-my children? Am I hoping they will raise themselves, while I take naps? Am I a horrible mother? Or do I hate plants? Or do I hate the "Green Movement"?
So, in answer to my question; are naps more healthy for mother or child? I would like to say for Mother. I as a mother need to go to bed early, eat healthy, serve others, so I can be the best Mom for my children.
