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...

Wow, this just describes my life in so many ways. I work outside the home and when I come home I want to spend time with my boy, my husband, my own thoughts, my housework...wait, I like to skip the housework... Anyway, there just aren't enough hours in the day OR the night for it all!

ReplyDeleteAt the end of the day when my hubby gets home I have an unrealistic list of things of like to accomplish with an extra set of hands.
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the day I want to relax and watch a show while blogging, or maybe play some games.
