~Have you ever been so tired, that you just needed your baby to nap, if only for a short time?
~Have you ever done everything possible to make the nap happen, waking the baby into a greater state of alertness than when the nap started?
~ Have you ever been so desperate that you loaded the baby into the car, and drove around aimlessly in hopes that he would fall asleep?
~ Have you ever stopped for coffee so that you wouldn't fall asleep while you were driving the tired, screaming baby around?
~ Have you ever been so tired, that when you did stop for coffee, you paid, and then drove away without the coffee...

Oh Jenn, I feel so bad to read this account of a desperate Mummy, I am in tears...bring him here and then go and have a real coffee with a book in your hand at Chapter's. Seriously!
Marion and I used to look up at planes flying over and imagine that we were on them - without our kids, of course..I think this was on a day when one of her kids was running around naked on the FRONT lawn, and one of mine was swaggering around the back yard, using bad words!
Thanks Barb- I'll definitely take you up on the offer! Yes, the planes...I can relate some days. I may be able to guess which Mealey boy was the swaggering one using bad words...!
I DO remember this one...just without the coffee. But, I do know how long it takes to drive the speed limit from one traffic circle to the other. (I actually was grateful for the air conditioning, too.) Never before had I even wondered that question!
