So it's one of those days

where I'm so tired I can't focus on anything. Not that there's really that much to do. I tried to keep on top of the toy issue over our Christmases, so the house is still relatively neat. I actually got to clean the bathrooms yesterday so I'm not feeling the pressing need to clean anything else (the bathrooms and the kitchen being my pet peeves if they're dirty). My dishes do need to be washed. Bob bought me a lovely potted yellow rose bush to put in my kitchen window and it's beauty is marred by the two sinks full of dirty dishes begging to be washed. But they haven't begged hard enough yet.
I have a sneaking suspicion that I should have taken the opportunity to nap this afternoon. Liam and Lorelei have actually been quiet for quite some time now. Why is it that they nap well when I don't and not at all when I try to? Molly is with her grandmother for the afternoon so it's just Maggie and I, sitting here on our computers. She's rather chatty this afternoon. She's been telling me 'knock knock jokes' except that she doesn't really understand then so the punch line is usually nonsense. It's hard for me to concentrate on her voice since it's babble mixed in with real conversation.
What will next fall be like when 3 of my 4 kids are gone at least part of the day? I have my schedule all planned: get Molly on the bus, take Lorelei to preschool, run errands with Maggie and Liam, pick Lorelei up, eat lunch with the kids, get Maggie on the bus, put Lorelei and Liam down for naps and then Molly and Maggie come home around 4.
I've decided that when Liam is in first grade I am painting my house top to bottom. I have my color scheme, I know what kind of paint I'm getting. I'll have 7 hours every day to devote to painting. I'm filling holes, sanding walls and repainting EVERYTHING.
Can someone please explain to me why Lorelei finds it necessary to cry after her naps? I thought that was the point of naps - they're supposed to refresh you so you're happy again.
