Nap times are too scarce

I love my girl.  I LOVE my girl.  But there are times I wished nap-time extended to three hours.  Case in point: I've been considering a blog overhaul.  More like a massive clean-up.  Actually putting labels to work.  Organizing (since I can't seem to organize my real-life stuff...) and improving.  Maybe improving?  But to do so would mean my daughter would have to nap longer, far longer, than she usually does.  Sigh.  The long list of things I could or would accomplish if I knew she was happily occupied with sleep.  There are just some things I can't do with noise going on, even happy noise.  It is one of my many limitations.

I feel I've neglected my blog a little lately.  I've been working hard on my Bible study one over at www.readingbiblechronologically.blogspot.com but not so much here.  And usually, that work over at my study one happens well after bed time.  Everyone's bed time.  There are two happy developments I am praying for: Eliza to learn to sleep until just 7am (though 8am would be better) and having consistent internet access.  Ah, the dream...

Speaking of consistent internet access, that dream is on hold for yet awhile longer.  The tenant in what will be our apartment in our house has asked for more time to move out and has been granted it.  At this rate, she's getting a little over six weeks (more if you count the notice she got before the sale closed).  Very frustrating, as it puts our ability to get into the apartment and get things cleaned up back a bit. More than a little bit.  But what can you do, when you're not making the decisions?  I have to give credit, though, to my mom for having a generous and open heart and wanting to help someone.  Kudos, Mama.  You're a better woman than I.  So, yes, I get the opportunity to practice patience, the tenant gets a little more time, which thankfully will allow her family to help her, and we won't be moving until September, best case.  It makes it harder to wait to move and get my own nest set up, to wait until I can stock my own pantry and start trying out my ideas and stockpile of recipes.  (I'm seriously considering making my own vanilla extract, and it's so easy that all I have to do is remember to shake the jar every few weeks!  But I may have to save up for the vanilla bean....)  I could try making my own bread here, but we have so much store-bought lying around I don't know how we make it through it all.  Maybe I should have a discussion with Mom and see what she thinks.

(Now, what label would you give a random post like this?  This is why, largely, I've ignored the label feature...)
