avoidance

i am avoiding going upstairs to the playroom right now. b/c both of my wee ones are up there, sans naps (afternoon, in amelia's case). how does this happen to me?! i guess its my own making, taking them out for lunch late b/c amelia then fell asleep on the way home for all of 10 minutes & now she's unable to fall asleep for a nap (even after 50 minutes of squaking in her crib). she is exhausted & a wee bit grumpy (which is unlike her). adeline is busting with energy for some reason...even without a nap. i am exhausted! how does that work out? where is my energy kick in the afternoon?

i need this time, the afternoon nap time to gather myself up, clean the house a bit, rest a bit, etc. i even made myself a frappucino in anticipation of having a free 15 minutes at least by myself. (now i really think i should've added that shot of bailey's to my frap). instead of the silence of nap time, what i hear is giggling & jumping & happy shrieks & running upstairs. & a thud every once in awhile. my guess & *hope* is that it's adeline jumping off the lower bed in the playroom...but it could just be amelia's head bonking on the floor. nope, still laughing, no head bonks yet.

later i hope to post about the meeting yesterday with harold's doctor...we'll see if i have time. any ideas for dinner?!
