Great to see you again at FTSF! My favorite: "Make two chocolate mug cakes, one for me and one for my husband. Eat one. Eat the other one. Hide the evidence." It's as if you were watching me three nights ago!
ReplyDeleteI actually do tend to do blogging after the kids go to sleep. I'm not as productive as I'd like to be at that time of day/night, but that's literally the only time I get. So I push myself to do what I can.
Hope to see you next week at FTSF!!!!!
I'm so so glad that you linked up this week! I know exactly what you mean about the difference between what we mean to do once our kids are in bed and what we actually do! Each night, I think "oh, it's early! I can write! I can post that old baby stuff on Craig's List! I can shower tonight!" and then, I troll Facebook, fall asleep, or binge on Netflix (currently on The Newsroom, just finished Homeland, and am getting back into the new season of Shameless hopefully tonight). haha to the chocolate mug cake! Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteMan, I don't do anything after the kids go to sleep. I keep daring myself to get up early so I can get it all done, so when the kids are awake, I can just be. and after they are sleep, I can chill with my husband. It hasn't happened yet.
