Walking Backwards

If I am this tired, why isn't the baby? We went to the zoo this morning and spent a good deal of time running around there. We fed the animals and rode the train and did a lot of uphill walking, but does Nicholas want to nap? Of course not. He is currently destroying his playroom and laughing hysterically. I think that this is some sort of punishment for my misdeeds in a previous life. The no-nap days (every day this week) are the worst. I need that two hour break in the middle of the day, its how I retain my meager hold on sanity. I especially need it today because tomorrow I have to go work three hours at Nico's preschool carnival. I don't know why I didn't lie and say that I was going to be out of town, that is how half of the class got out of volunteer work. I should have taken notes from them, they have had kids in the school before.
