Briefcase on the Kitchen Table

First of all, I am sorry for the lack of post last week. I was on break so The Married Lady was as well.

So Avery and I came back from spring break and right into a pretty nasty work week. It is one of those weeks in which we roll out of bed at different times, come home at different times, and disappear in to the homework-hole at different times. When we decide to tuck in for the night is sometimes our first real time during the day to see each other and by that time we are both pooped.

I found this to be frustrating at first. I really enjoy time with my husband; Avery has always had a calming effect on me which in a week like this is a good thing. We have ad many weeks like this and we figured out early on how to remedy the situation. Neither of us could completely refigure our days but we did figure out something that fit in to how we were already doing things. We have started going to bed about 45 minutes early. I mean think about it; when you are planning on gong to bed at 11, how often are you really still doing good efficient work at 10:15? I have found that, at least for me, it isn’t often. So why sit in front of the t.v. when I could brush my teeth, wash my face, and snuggle under the covers with Ave. Sometimes we talk, sometimes we read, or sometimes we will watch something on the iPad. Whatever it is, we are doing it together, and that makes all the difference.

So how about you MarriedLady readers? Do you ever find it hard to connect with your significant other? How do you deal with it?
