Sometimes, you simply can't put a price on a much-needed nap. One mom on social media is reminding us of that fact. The mom, whose name is Simona and runs the social media account @alaylaslife on both Instagram and TikTok, shared a video of her cleaning her home after her daughter Alayla got a marker and drew on the couch and other pieces of furniture.

In the video, Simona explained that the toddler had woken up at 5:30 in the morning, so she took her to the living room to watch a Disney movie. Mom proceeded to fall asleep on the couch, and when she woke up an hour later, she saw her daughter's artwork everywhere in black marker.
"This is my current POV alayla woke up at 5:30 am i was laying on the sofa and must of drifted away i woke up and this is what i see PLEASE send your tips on how to remove this ," she captioned the TikTok video.
"oh my God I would be crying," one mom commented.
"My daughter learned how to write at school then used her new skills to write it on the walls now I’ve got the words dog, pig and cat on the walls ," another mom chimed in.
In her Instagram video, she shared that she went to a local store and purchased some spot cleaner and cleaning supplies in an attempt to salvage her relatively new couch. Altogether she spent £110, which translates to about $140 on cleaning supplies. She said that in addition to cleaning her couch, she had to repaint walls and clean cabinets. "At 6pm, I finished cleaning the sofa, and honestly it looks better than it did before," she explained.
All in all, Simona wasn't mad about the whole ordeal. Actually, she had no regrets. "Would I recommend having a nap for £110, and then hours of cleaning? Yes, I would highly highly recommend, and I would do it again," she said. Sometimes, sleep is the most important thing.
