Evenings
Before kids the evening before a bank holiday weekend would go like this:
18:00 Get home from work, open a bottle of wine while waiting for Hubs to get in, put on some music, get changed.
19:30 Meet friends in a pub or restaurant, drink, laugh, share stories about the week, moan about work, drink more, laugh more, attempt an embarrassingly bad game of pool.

23:30 Roll home, probably with something to eat, and into bed…and I’ll stop there because my mum reads this.
10:30 Wake up to a leisurely breakfast.
Now the evening before a bank holiday weekend goes like this:
18:30 Hubs arrives home to find two small children covered in macaroni cheese and me picking it out of my hair.
19:00 Kids in the bath and I’m fantasising about the wine in the fridge.
19:30 Kids in bed and I get changed out of my drenched clothes into my pjs.
20:00 Something easy for dinner in front of the TV.
21:30 In bed with a cup of tea and twitter on the iPhone, kicking Hubs when he starts snoring.
07:00 Wake up to a dirty nappy.
Yep, living the dream, baby!
[Throughout April I'm taking part in the A to Z Challenge. This is my post for E. Yesterday I blogged about Daddy and tomorrow it's Football.]

I’m reading that and I’m thinking…that sounds like my life! Except my dirty nappy wake up isn’t at 7am, its more like 2.30am.
Still…at least the Other Half is at home for an extra day. That’s always good
Good luck with the A to Z challenge x
Eek! 2:30? I’ll count my blessing then!
You get to sleep until 7? Can we swap kids?
You need to have a second one for company. The boys wake up about 6:30 but the amuse each other until T’s stomach gets the better of him. I think if I left a packet of biscuits in his cot we’d be fine until about 9.
Oh gosh I am in bed as I type! How things change when we have kids lol!
Hope you have a fab Easter!
Loved your “D” post yesterday too by the way cx
Thank you. I do love my bed

Yep, Kids change things alright, but remember…we are influencing the next generation. It’s worth it in the end! Very reflective post! Hope you are enjoying the challenge…

Thank you, you too.
I just did most of your pre-kids version for the last time. It was lovely, but tinged with a sense of imminent loss
A new and…erm…interesting chapter awaits.

Ha! Soo true! I didn’t get to finish my wine last night because I was too tired! Rewind a few years back and I would be out til God knows when with the local Ladies Pool Team! Haa! Loving your A-Z too. X
I hope it went back in the fridge, wouldn’t want to waste it!
