Nap time needs an APB

That's it...I've come to a solid conclusion...Nap time needs an APB!

Claire has a significantly hard time napping, thanks to the wonderfulness that is colic. The first three months of her life were spent eating, pooping, a rare nap and, yes, crying! Naps these days are hard to come by. She falls asleep, but in short 20 minute bursts. On a rare occasion (maybe once a week if I'm lucky), she'll take a nice, solid, 3 hour nap. It is these times that my phone rings incessantly.

*'Hi, you're books are in at the library!' (Great...Glad to hear it...I'll pick them up after the baby stops making my ears bleed.')

*'Hi, we'd like to send out some envelopes and letters so you can tell your friends about breast cancer research!' (You know..On any other day I'd be glad to, but today, my daughter is piercing my ear drums. Mind giving me a call back?)

*'Hi, this is Aris from Game Stop calling to let you know that...(Oh, wait, you're calling to let me know that my husband needs to be suffocated in his sleep, right? Great. Will do!)

Seriously, just a quick APB...Alert! Alert! Claire is now napping. No phone calls from 12-3PM. Please make a note. Quiet time in the Townsend household!!

Also, what stupid phone manufacturer had the brilliant idea NOT to put a switch to turn off your ringer on this damn phone! I've tried to turn it off or make the ring quieter several times, but it always seems to be louder after. I've got a half a mind to take this brick they call a phone and throw it through the window.
