I usually go the computer and do a little surfing and enjoy the quiet. I mostly need quiet for a time. That or I watch a show I've taped. I might have a pre dinner snack at that time too.

I have never drank so that is not in my relaxing 'toolbox'.

I also have to get my family fed, homework done, etc. BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE to get my pj's on and lounge out while watching Reba or Law & Order reruns.....

unwind??? what is that??

My dck's are out the door at 5pm…. let's see, on Monday nights is CCD and cheer practice, Tuesday is wrestling practice, Wednesday nights is soccer, Thursday is wrestling, Friday is soccer and cheer. All start by 6pm or earlier with 15-20 minute drives, etc. So yeah, there is no unwinding in a house with 3 active kids!

I sit in my chair for 10 minutes in complete silence and call it my "commute". Then I have a glass of wine with dinner. We went wine tasting this weekend so I got a new supply!
