At the end of the day...


At the end of the day, on the best of days, my hubby and I can get a few minutes to relax and chat about our day... unfortunately, that doesn't happen as often as we like... take last night for instance... Wayne worked until 8:30 PM and was home by 9 ... we were both exhausted already from the long day, but there was also the wild card factor - Erik had resisted his nap until he couldn't resist any longer - he fell asleep at 6:15 PM - and got up in time for Daddy to be home... so while we did have a chance to catch up, it was over transformers and giggles from the little guy... By the time I got Erik settled, I was on my second wind too... it meant that I got a thoughtful blog post written about being Aware, but very little sleep...

At the end of the day, on the crazy days, I love to steal a few minutes to myself and take a hot bath... these are the days when talking just isn't an option... I haven't been alone with my own thoughts and the kids have driven me crazy... but sometimes all I can do is fall into bed and hope that nothing wakes me up before I can at least say I hit REM for a few minutes...

Honestly, at the end of the day, I usually just want to sleep...

i should have boogied with Erik. I got very little sleep last night.
Just here via Coffee Chat - a hot bath seems to be an almost unanimous way to end the day for many of us! Good to meet you!

My husband doesn't work as late, but the end of the day is still a bit hectic around here. He comes home and cooks dinner, then spends time with our son before he goes to bed. I try to get in as much work as possible during that time, and then we both collapse into bed. It's definitely nice to get those relaxing minutes in, on nights we can!
