I don't like Wednesdays because Andrew has games and it is so late when he gets home, but for the rest of us, it's our early night of the week. It's early release day from school for Catherine and Thomas. They were both home by 2:30 this afternoon. I picked Robert up from the bus at 3, he had an appointment, I ran to work, and after I picked him up we were both home by 5. The boys usually aren't home until at least 5, and there are evenings where Robert has to work or he runs errands with me. Catherine has band two nights a week and mock trial once. This doesn't count the weekends...when Robert works nearly every evening and there is Friday night football. We are just a tired house.
It also happened today that there wasn't much homework, and there was plenty of time to do it. I was up until after 11:30 last evening getting ready for today's volunteer assignment, and then was out the door by 7 this morning to spend the day at the school. I came home and just sat. I could be unloading the dishwasher, working on laundry, or any number of other things, but I just wanted to sit down. I had the kids take early showers and we were just hanging out. I happened to close my eyes during the evening, and when I awoke at 7:00, I realized that Robert was sound asleep in the other room on the couch. I got him up and sent him to bed. He'll be able to get ten hours, and that is awesome. I'm a little jealous! I put Thomas and Catherine to bed 1/2 hour early as well. It never hurts to get some extra sleep when the opportunity presents itself!
