Be Gone, Jinx

Anyone who states that they don't believe in concepts such as karma or destiny should hear me out. Due to my prideful boasting at the playground about Tink's amazing napping skills the last number of months, I was thrown a nap strike that has lasted all week. I apologized to the karmic universe and was rewarded with a baby who is napping, even as I write this. Anyone with a child under the age of 3 will appreciate how important daytime napping is to everyone involved in the household. Tink's brain needs to rejuvenate and apparently it also releases stress (yes, even toddlers experience stress). I need the time to nurture the part of me that needs to feel like an interesting adult with a life of her own. My advice to everyone is to not start a sentence with, "Well, I don't want to jinx things but...". Don't go down that road! Of course you're going to jinx yourself.

Now, you'll have to excuse me, but I have important things to do while Tink naps...
