What is the one material thing that keeps you sane? ( your kids and family don't count) When you are just so tired or stressed out, what saves you?
Mine is my coffee in the morning and that hour after my kids go to sleep at night that I just unwind...

mine is definitely the hour i get after they go to bed... some people are amazed that my children give me no lip about going to bed but it is because i have ZERO tolerance for it... they get an hour 1/2 to themselves before i get home from work every day therefore, i do not tolerate not getting my hour... we are a family who respects each others space...
( thank goodness!! :-) )

I love every second with my family but at the end of the day I need to "unwind"!
I love taking a long shower after the kids are asleep!

My husband and I have set aside Friday night as "date night." We don't go anywhere but I cook a good (fattening) dinner and after we put the kids to bed we turn off the T.V., grab a couple if glasses of red wine and just talk about our weeks.
Well that and the bag of Halloween candy that I bought a few days ago (I bet it doesn't make it to Halloween.).

Good question. I guess I would have to say going to the gym and working out with out my kids or my man, I also enjoy music, It allows me to drift away into my own sweet special safe little world and to block out all the other stresses of the day.Good question though and for that you get a star.

My after noon nap. It rejuvenates me before the troops come home from work and school. I also nap on the days I work as soon as I get home. I have since I can remember and will continue to.

I haven't ever been really into either of these things, but lately I find I watch sports more, and I enjoy maybe half an hour of video gaming.

Baby Einstein videos. I can always guarantee that I get a 20 minute break once or twice a week when I turn them on!
