We really do need this hour. It gives each of us an hour (9p.m-10p.m) by ourselves and lets us get caught up on our work, but we do this every night, we just need a little change for our schedule at night.
We've thought of doing this sometime during the day or early in the morning, but we don't want to take any time away from the kids, (that's why we do it at night when they go to bed) and I really don't want to get up any earlier than I have to ;)
If something works, why change it? But sometimes you need a change. So, from now on, we are going to take 2 or 3 nights a week after the kids go to bed to do some different things. I have a couple things in mind that we could do and if you have the same problem you could use some of these ideas as well.
- Just sit on the couch and talk about your day
- Play a game of cards or an adult board game that you both like
- Sit and relax together and read a book
- Foot Rub for each other
- Take turns giving each other a back rub
- Sit outside, if it's a nice night and just relax with each other
- Sit down and make the grocery list together
There are a million possibilities, but this is my favorite list ;)
