the 3 hour nap

Eddie has never been one for consistency when it comes to sleep, we all know this. Lately his naps are getting very inconsistent; some days he refuses a nap (it basically consists of a failure on my part to put him down effectively and so he will play in his crib for a half an hour/45 minutes or so but never sleep), most days his naps are more like 1 hour or maybe 2. But every once in awhile he simultaneously treats me and bewilders me with a 3 hour nap. Today is one of those days. He is just getting over a cold so I feel like it has been eons since he last took a good nap and I am trying to make the most out of this chunk of time but find myself getting consumed by phone calls and texts and emails and my ever-looming growling stomach that prevents me from ever getting any real solid project work done. But I did clean my oven yesterday, and I did pay to have my upholestry and rugs cleaned this morning, so I do feel somewhat productive. Pause. Take a bite of lasagna, lunch number two for me today.
