You're Getting Sleepy

Now that I'm back at work, we've settled into somewhat of an evening routine and MacBaby falls asleep between 8 and 9 p.m. My alarm goes off at 5:50 a.m. The hours in between I struggle with. If MacDaddy works late and comes home around 9, we have maybe one hour to converse before I sack out. Do I call it a night as early as 9 and quit fighting the urge to close my eyes, or do I savor an hour of adult time to read or zone out with the TV? I rarely push the bedtime boundary later, missing the new TV friends that provided a dose of daily snark while on baby vacation - Chelsea and Conan. Last night I couldn't decide whether to go to sleep or veg, knowing I'd likely be up again at 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. I thought I'd close my eyes, and then if I couldn't sleep I'd turn on the tube. Five minutes later, my dreams were entertainment enough.
