Time for bed!
Daddy: "I'm going to sleep." (Kiss) "See you tomorrow, don't stay up too late..."
Mommy: (Thinking, funny you should say that...) "Goodnight. I'm going to bed too."
Daddy proceeds to climb into bed, and drift to sleep peacefully.
Mommy....
- Finishes up any lingering projects in the works...
- Pulls out food to thaw in the fridge for the next day...
- Puts the last load of laundry into the dryer...
- Makes sure the doors & windows are closed up/ locked...
- Tidies-up the toy room...
- Puts the last of the day's dishes into the dishwasher, fills soap dispenser, and runs machine...
- Makes list of things to remember for following day...
- Changes into pajamas and washes face...
- Remembers something she forgot to inform or ask someone - and sends a quick email...
- Turns off all lights...
- Checks on sleeping babies, and covers them up with blankies (again)...
- Makes sure husband's lunch is ready to go for the next morning...
- Makes sure anything else husband needs is handy and ready to go in the A.M. ...
- Pees (again) ...
- Finally, sets the alarm, and climbs into bed!
Whew! ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
TIP! If you can limit your nightly routines by consolidating a particular chore - it all adds up to saved time (and more ZZZZZ's!) ie: I make all of my husband's sandwiches for the week on Sunday night - and keep them in the fridge... Only one night of remembering to do that item. :) (It's the least I can do for him for waking early and slaving for the family's income each day... And, he claims it tastes better when I make it. Secret ingredient = love - shhhhhhhhhhh.)

WHIDFML: Today at baby nap time = ZERO 'chores'... Going to watch a movie, by myself, with warm tea, and candle-light on this chilly, rainy, windy autumn day - [insert happy sigh here]
