Sleep

Sleep can be hard to come by with an infant... Especially an infant whose idea of a nap is about 26 minutes.
So today, when my sweet baby fell asleep in the car driving home from JoAnn's, I was WAY more than tempted to drive around for an hour instead of going home, because this nap was so important after a cranky morning and Mommy could really use a little quiet time.
It never fails: I am so careful not to slam the car doors, I practically tiptoe into the house, start shoosh-ing the dog before I've even got the lock turned on the door, and set him down ever so gently on the floor. Then, I tiptoe back to the open door, slowly and quietly shut it, turn on the air and fan for some white noise and quickly try to grab a snack before the inevitable happens... I hear him squirming, feet kicking, and grabbing the seat cover trying to shove it into his mouth. This nap lasted only 3 miles and five minutes....
Does that make me a bad mom? That I'd rather drive around the city for an hour for no reason other than wanting my little one to get some sleep?? If only I'd actually done it...
