Mom used to get off work at five and be home by 5:30, she generally would want to take a shower and we would have dinner by six. We kids would go our rooms by eight with lights off at nine. I think that was so mom and dad could have some time before he had to leave for work at about half past nine. 6:30 was breakfast.
He would get dinner, she would make breakfast and pack our lunches. During the summer he would make us lunch.
Honestly, looking back in it I am not sure how either of them got enough sleep.
Not enough sleep. I can relate to that.
I think it’s why I value a solid 8 hours, when I can get it.
