Sleep...she needs it...I need it...help me!

Ask:
Before we left for UT - my DD had a great schedule. She's nap 2 times a day, for about 2 hours a piece. We used a cd that she loved to put her to sleep. We forgot to take it with us and she wasn't used to it anymore.

I Haven't been able to get a naptime routine down again. what do you all do? I NEED HELP SO MUCH because she won't take her nap until she falls asleep at the table or during her afternoon movie. That means she doesn't take a nap until about 5 in the afternoon! She'll kick, scream, hit - so I end up just putting her on the couch instead of really being able to focus on naptime.

She's never been a big sleeper, she sleeps about 7-9 hours a night plus (now) one 2 hour nap. (before it was 2, 2 hour naps).

What is a great routine that works for you during the day - her dad puts her to sleep at night so I'm out of the loop...Please help - i'm rest deprived.
Answer:

my dd goes down for a nap at 1pm she will sleep till 3-4 depending on what time she got up that am. If her teeth are bothering her she will nap only 2 hours one day and then next take a really really long nap sometimes till alsmost 5pm. She goes to bed at 9pm and is up anywhere between 630-900 depending on nap and how well she sleeps that night (teeth)
