I love love love staying up late during the week. I’m talking like 1030 and I’m sober. Weekends I need to be in bed by 1130/12 or I’ll litcherally turn into a pumpkin. During the week at night though the house is so quiet and clean. All the kids are sleeping and they look so adorable, I could watch them sleep and dream forever but I don’t want to wake them because did I mention how quiet it is?
I like to sit in my chair by the window and get lost in my thoughts. I reflect on my day or think about what’s on my schedule for tomorrow. I pick up a book or anything to keep my mind from daydreaming too far. I encourage everyone to stay up after you put your kids to bed. Not for a glass of wine or to watch tv, but just for some alone time with yourself. Maybe a cup of decaffeinated green tea perhaps? Being alone with my thoughts and a comfy blanket is like a big warm hug.
