I remember he bought us an Atari (remember those?) so I know he would have been a diehard internet fan. Back then, let's see - cleaned up the kitchen from the evening meal, bathed or supervised the bathing of my 2 daughters, read to them, put them to bed and then watched TV with hubby. After he died, I spent most evenings marking papers or planning the next day's class (I went back to teaching) and would finally collapse in bed around 11:00 pm. It wasn't until after I retired that I spent so much time writing and blogging, etc. But I've made SO many new friends and I love it!Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-76180948641891725592009-11-06T22:43:24.664-05:002009-11-06T22:43:24.664-05:00great question....

So, evenings were spent feeding, washing, cuddling, reading & tucking: then I moved on to prep of dinner for the next day (so the eldest could pop it in the oven when she came home from school). But I did always make time for me -- me and God spent some quality time together and then me and the TV spent some low-class time together. <br /><br />I much prefer my evenings now!Sandy aka Doris the Greathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135704111702244735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-65362836704274524042009-11-05T14:05:44.426-05:002009-11-05T14:05:44.426-05:00I watched "Moonlighting". :-)

Usually after fixing dinner, cleaning up, helping the kids with their homework and finally putting them to bed, I usually put a couple more hours in in the studio. Kids are grown now and we are, thankfully, not so busy that we have to work two shifts. Now I get to meet many new wonderful people via the air waves. BTW, I read all the Narnia tales to my kids as well.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog yesterday.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-49093052410311959072009-11-05T12:07:15.917-05:002009-11-05T12:07:15.917-05:00I have an 11 year old...do I need to say more??
