Mr. Man has had to work a lot lately... for instance ...
last Friday he worked 8:00 am until 9:00 pm. 13 hours
Saturday he worked 7:00 am until 6:00 pm. 11 hours
Sunday he worked 8:00 am until 12:00 pm and then had to go back at 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm. 6 hours
Monday he worked 8:00 am until 6:30 pm. 10.5 hours
Tuesday was 7:30 am until 9:00 pm. 13.5 hours
(THAT is a lot of hours there!!Whoa!)
So, I called him yesterday afternoon at work and asked if he needed to work late again. He said no. I said let's just hang out as a family. He agreed that would be a good idea.
We didn't do anything fancy. I made dinner. We read together. We worked on homework. I gave the kids showers and then we went to bed. It was nice to be together though. No craziness. No whining kids who missed their dad. No naughty kids picking on their mom. No grumpy, stressed out mommy!

Would you believe I worked 8-7 M-F and S 8-2 and did after hours stuff as well in my former life?? I loved it before I had the midget, but afterwards--not so much. Hence, my staying at home!
So glad you got family time!!! The just being together time is sometimes the best!!
I'm SO glad he came home and that you had such a relaxing evening as a family!
I remember when my hubby was in retail. He worked hours like that ALL. THE. TIME. I felt like a single parent. Blech!
down time is ALWAYS good! Glad you were able to have some!
it sounds heavenly. Chw pulls LONG days too... He goes in at 6 and, most days works out at 5. He usually pulls in the driveway at 6 or later... It's tough!
glad you got some rejuvenated family time!
Those are the best days when you can just "do family time" Hope another one comes quickly!
family time is so precious...i'm glad you had such a wonderful evening!
I can totally relate! I am so happy that your family had a nice, relaxing, normal evening. Is there such a thing as normal? good for you!
sometimes a low key just spend time together evening is the best!
Glad you had some lovely family time together, Isn't it nice just to hang out! ..x..
Sounds like it was nice to reconnect and do nothing. Those are often the best days.
I hope more come your way soon!
(Let me guess, he's a lawyer? doctor?)
