In the Strangest Places

When my boys were babies, I had ongoing conversations with my fellow sleep deprived mommy friends about the craziest places we fell asleep due to those numerous sleepless nights. The stories ranged from in the shower, during a bikini wax, on the stationery bike, on the doctor’s table during a physical and even at a red light (which prompted this friend to find the nearest rest stop and take a power nap).

Now that my boys are older, the conversation with my fellow mom friends has shifted to Where do you find a few minutes of peace and quiet?

Ironically, many of the places listed above – where we couldn’t help but squeeze in some shut eye – are now the places we go to sneak in some peace and quiet. One friend even confided that she was sitting in her paper gown on the doctor’s table in the middle of reading People Magazine, and when the doctor finally arrived she begged him to come back in a few minutes just so she could finish the magazine.

So whether you’re trying to fit in a cat nap or just some alone time, here’s to hoping you find the perfect place.
