To be fair though, I'm up before 6 am every single day of the week (ugh). So after bedtime I try to be a little productive (mostly just dishes, cleaning up, a few minutes of exercise), but then I crash! looch on "are you productive after LO goes to bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-productive-after-lo-goes-to-bed#post-1931981 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 08:43:28 +0000 looch 1931981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sometimes I will do a small project, but things generally take me forever to complete because I never devote more than 30 minutes to them.

My day begins at 5:30 and I have really high sleep needs. edelweiss on "are you productive after LO goes to bed?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-productive-after-lo-goes-to-bed#post-1931978 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 08:41:36 +0000 edelweiss 1931978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ after LO goes to bed, i like to consider my day done. i want to kick back with a glass or two of wine and the tv. once in a while i'll do some laundry or cook/prep for the next day's meal, but i want to take as much advantage of the "me" time as possible by being what i am really meant to be, which is a lazy ass! on the other hand, i read about people regularly getting chores done, working out, doing diy projects or even home improvement projects (like painting a room) after LO goes to sleep. kudos to all of you with that much energy! what about you?
