A few years ago you would have never seen me up past 10pm… If I stayed up, I would fall asleep on the couch…

As the evening hours have become “me time” and a time that I enjoy and look forward to… I have been going to sleep later and later… in the last few weeks that time has been 1-2am… and often I have to force myself to fall asleep.

In the evenings, I have been trying to sew more (I finished a skirt that I would like to sell eventually, and I am working on a little patchwork dress), I am also trying to learn how to knit… I read online and check out a few forums and blogs, I work on my website that will eventually house some of the things that I want to sell, I might watch a bit of TV depending what is on and then when I get into bed I read… and at the moment what I am reading is too good to stop so I end up reading for longer than I should…

I really need to find a way to do more in the day… as Khéna grows a bit older I think it will be easier as he can play with his older brothers more…  A few times last week I was able to go into the sewing room a few times while he played happily with his brothers in the playroom, coming to see me every few minutes while I cleaned my sewing space a bit for the next project.  Hopefully I will be able to continue to do that and sew during the day while the kids play.

I really would love more hours in a day though… A few hours, when time stops and I can just do all of the things that I want to do and still go to bed at a reasonable hour…
