What happens after the kids go to bed.....

I know what all of your are thinking...  And I wish it was true..  but the truth of the matter is.  Once the kids go to bed at 8:30 we start the list.  Yes the list that consists of all the chores around the house that are impossible to do with kids under your feet.

Last night...  Hang pictures
Tonight... Change kitty litter and burnt out light bulbs, start laundry... you get the point.

Once we get our projects done, Jen and I try to spend some time together by watching TV or a Movie ect.  When I say Jen and I... I really mean, me.  Once the show starts you only have to wait 5-10 minutes and Jen is OUT COLD!  Trying to get her to wake up afterwords is like getting Sarah Palin to say something intelligent.  

Tonight for example, I love Ghost Hunters and Man Vs Food.  They are both on TV Wednesday nights.  Those are our Wednesday night shows.  We site down to watch and 8 minutes later...  Jen is sawing logs.  Man Vs Food was a rerun, but we both wanted to watch how they make a sandwich that has Fried Chicken, Onion Rings, Mozzarella Sticks, Potato Wedges, Hamburger Patties, and to top it off..  Mac and Cheese!  (I will post pics when we make it)  I woke Jen up to help me remember the ingredients so we can make it some day.  She said she was awake.  They constructed the work of deliciousness and I turned to Jen who was asleep again.  Like any good husband..  I woke her up and said "Hey!  What was on the sandwich?"  She looked at me and said, "Mac and Cheese" then feel back asleep..  It was pretty funny.

Needless to say, Jen turns into a zombie after 9pm.  She will look you in the eye and promise she will stay awake and in the same breath fall asleep.  I have seen her do it.

Amen to Sarah Palin saying something intelligent! And Adam LOVES Man V Food. Something about putting french fries on sandwiches really gets him going.
