How many of us would like to take a short cat nap once a day? How many of us were made to take naps as kids? How many of us hated naps when we were kids?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>When I was a child my mom would make me take naps. Oh, how I HATED nap time. I didn\u2019t want to sleep! I wanted to be where everyone else was. I wanted to play and have fun.\u00a0 I HATED NAPTIME!<\/p>\n<p>When I became a parent and my children were little we had naptime. Because I have four children and they are stair stepped 2 years between each one, I was pregnant often. During naptimes when I was pregnant I was able to have a short cat nap. I loved those naps. As the children outgrew naps and came to dislike them I remember saying to them \u201cIf only I could take a nap\u2026why won\u2019t someone tell me to take a nap? I will do it!\u201d It is funny how my perspective changed so much.<\/p>\n<p>Now my children are all in school and although I work part time, I am constantly on the go. Even when I am home I am writing or working. Oh, how this picture makes me want to take a nap right now. But I have the self discipline to just keep working.<\/p>\n<p>Someday I will retire, my kids will grow up, I will age then I will nap again. My dad loves his naptime.\u00a0 He is retired and although he stays very active with so many ministries and service he still takes the time to take a nap daily. I don\u2019t want to rush my life but someday when I am at that point I will indeed love my naptime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you wish you could take a nap?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6657,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[874,24,873,64,572],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6656"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6656"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6656\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
