No Nap Madness

Why on earth do I even bother with naps?  Why?  I'll tell you why?  Because by mid-afternoon, I desperately want a break from the constant movement, chatter, questions, messes, and the fighting over who gets to flush who's pee.  Yes, we fight about that all day long.  And who really knows the 3 year old potty protocol about who gets to flush who's pee?!  I sure don't!  But by 1:00pm, I'm done caring!  I just want an hour of peace and quiet so I can sip another cup of coffee and gain enough strength to make it through the rest of the day.  Is that too much to ask?  Apparently it is.  Because no matter how hard I try, no matter how many blocks we ride our bikes around or how long we run around the gym with our friends, nothing I can do tires these two out enough to knock them out.  In fact, I'm pretty certain that at this point we're just building their endurance and in a matter of months they're going to be ready for the Iron Man.  I really just need to accept this and stop bothering to try to get them to sleep mid-day.  I just end up angry when they are in there launching themselves off the bedposts and trying to escape through the window (that already has a piece of plywood nailed over it!).  But I can't find it in me, I just can't find it in me to admit defeat!!!  Oy vei.  Well, I must admit defeat for today...  but I'm not giving up hope that someday they will nap again.  Maybe if  I tried duct tape tomorrow...
