On the nights my husband works late, I put my daughter to bed as early as I can get away with. Usually it’s 7pm. After she’s asleep and the baby is semi-settled, that’s when I really unwind.
I make myself a drink, usually an appletini or margarita, but I’ll settle for coke and run in pinch. Turn the tv onto some crime procedural drama, fire up Tweetdeck on my laptop, and sit on the couch. Maybe even have some chocolate. I’ve been known to guzzle 2 or 3 drinks before the husband comes home.
I’m not a lush, but I’m sure my husband appreciates that I’m much more relaxed by the time he comes home.
Come over and confess. We won’t judge. Some of us are probably guilty of it ourselves. I promise not to make you recite Hail Marys or Our Fathers.
