Day 2 – Blue nap day
March 10th, 2008
The 7 Days theme for today was blue, so I snuggled up under our blue Alafoss blanket, a gift from our good friends James & Donna. They gave it to us for Christmas, and then a month later we went to Iceland to see them and took a trip to the Alafoss factory outlet ourselves. So this blanket isn’t just warm and cozy, it’s a reminder of people we love and a cool place we visited.
Since my mom is here visiting, I’ve been getting more sleep than I normally do. Naturally all that extra sleep makes my body greedy, and it wants more, more, MORE sleep! So this afternoon I laid down for what I thought was going to be a quick nap, and ended up having to be dragged out of bed at dinnertime by my patient husband.
I think all the sleeping is my brain’s way of dealing with everything that’s been going on in our lives recently. Sickness, traveling, death, more traveling, birthdays, parties…not to mention that we just found out that Troy’s next job is going to start three months ahead of schedule. Annalie and I won’t move till later this summer, but it’s still going to mean we’ll be separated from Troy for a while. So we’re starting to think about selling the house, and all we need to do before then, and it’s freaking me out a little.
We’ll manage. We always do. Until then, I’ll just nap whenever I can. Zzz…

Well, that’s not fair.
Where will you be heading next?
I keep seeing all these ads in the Metro for vacations to Iceland – I have been dreaming of going there for awhile! It must have been so cool.
I love vacations when family (moms) are visiting who love to play with grandkids and let the moms sleep…so rejuvenating! It is good you are recharging your batteries for the months to come!
You have had an awful lot going on in your lives this year, Bethany, and now to find you will be uprooted sooner than you thought! No wonder you had a good, long nap! Take care of yourself…..
Oh no! Living in two different cities sucks! I hope they’re sending you someplace warm and beautiful.
wow bethany. that IS an awful lot to think about all at once. you certainly deserve the nap! and a whole lot more. i hope the next move will take you somewhere interesting and fun.
Move to the NW. Just putting in my request.
Ditto bluejaye….move to the NW. You get lots of rain up here. Just sayin’…
If you wind up in NJ (heaven help you) give me a call! When your mom is done visiting you, would you send her here for a few days? I could really use a nap, too. ;)
That is a beautiful blanket. And I know what it is like to catch up on much needed sleep. Since I was sick last week I got to take a couple of naps and boy were they needed. I may just have to call on my Mom for another one of those day soon.
Do you guys know where you will be moving to yet?
My body has been greedy for sleep recently as well and I’ve no idea why as I don’t have anywhere near the schedule you keep and have kept.
OH MY GOODNESS. So, where is it off to? Will you be closer to Brenda now?
Iceland, so cool to say you’ve been there! I went to Norway when I was a teenager. Loved it. My grandparents are both from there so it was cool to experience.
