The only time when my Hubby and I can have quiet time alone is when our kids are asleep at night. So, you can imagine the relief when both kids are already off to dreamland.
But tonight, my kids didn’t sleep immediately. It took me almost 2 hours to put them to sleep. So, you can also imagine the frustration. And finally, I thought they were already both asleep so, I tip toed downstairs, washed the dishes and was ready to mix myself a cup of coffee and relax when… I saw a head pop out from the kitchen door. It was my daughter. Arrghh!! Why is she still awake? I thought she was already fast asleep when I left the room? I got frustrated and didn’t let her say a word but immediately asked her to go back to the room and sleep.And thankfully she did.
So, now there’s complete peace and quiet in the house. I could only hear the dogs barking from the neighborhood. Let me get my cup of coffee , sit on the couch and read a book. Now, that would be a perfect time out for me. Bye for now!

Yes, you need some time for yourself too
