"30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUSOpen in new Window. | May 3

Prompt

Way back in the Before Times (prior to getting our two foster kids last July), relaxing and unwinding in the evenings usually consisted of a few hours of relaxing (watching a movie or a couple episodes of a TV show, dinner with my wife when we were both done working for the night, then reading in bed for an hour or two. Now that our home has two kids under six running around, I'm not sure "relax" and "unwind" are really words that can be associated with my evening routine. It's more like, "frantically finish the dinner and bedtime routine for the kids, then get ready for the next day, then collapse into bed and pray the baby sleeps long enough to give us a few hours of sleep before waking up in the middle of the night." *Laugh*

My ideal relaxation would probably look a lot like my prior routine. Because I have such a long commute, I'm usually able to decompress from the day while I'm driving home, which - although I get home fairly late - means that my time at home (when not caring for children) is mostly about fully relaxing and doing stuff for fun rather than processing what happened at work. And since I really love movies, television, and reading, that's usually what I choose to do with my spare time. That and catching up with friends online, of course. *Smile*
