What do your mornings, afternoons, evenings look like?
Me :
Morning--groggy
Afternoon--mildly alert
Evening--fairly alert
Middle of the night--all the lights are on
Children:
Morning--wide awake
Afternoon--even wider
Evening--still raring to go
Middle of the night--I don't want to go to sleep!
No matter how I try to order my days, my children are on different internal clocks. So I'm constantly racing to catch up, and by the time I'm caught up I'm sick of racing. By eight o'clock I'm ready to knock them over the head with a baseball bat.
Instead we usually pile in my chair and read a book together until I can get them wound down. Then it is my time. Time to read, write, pray, take a bubble bath, drink tea.
