Usually I am writing with one hand while she naps on me.

Even when it's work, it feels like down time, so it's okay.<br /><br />Except on Monday nights. Homeland then Blue Bloods.

But it's the best time of day for me as there are no interruptions whatsoever, as generally once the girls are asleep they are asleep till at least 6am. I am in the process of accepting more sponsored content as a way to make a bit of extra cash and avoid going back to 'proper' employment and extend my maternity leave. It's not easy but I enjoy it, and if it keeps me out of the office for a little bit longer then late nights it is. We'll jus pretend my house doesn't look like a bomb hit it though, shall we!YellowDandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00893802619752774767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403884662501199270.post-63830276244246851612013-12-05T16:06:14.593+11:002013-12-05T16:06:14.593+11:00You were concentrating fairly hard!!
