Nighttime Is My Time

I read somewhere some tips for busy moms. One tip particularly caught my eye. Once the baby has been put to bed, forget about household chores. The baby will appreciate a well rested mom over a clean home.

I’m guilty of this. Every night when I put Tina to sleep, I rush around the house trying to sort the laundry, pick up odds and ends lying around the living room, checking on the kitchen, etc. Now, the minute Tina is asleep, I minimize my nighttime cleaning. I only do things that can’t wait till the weekend.

What’s the result? I have more time for a slightly longer and more leisurely shower, time to read a chapter or two of a good book and the luxury to sleep a little earlier.
