The entire group is in bed from 1:30 - 3:00 so that is my time except for 20 minutes when I need to feed my own special needs her lunch but mostly I put in a tub of laundry while I start lunch and it goes in the dryer while they eat and then gets folded, Brianne gets fed and then I have a little over an hour that mostly is spent on the computer checking emails and working on my feltboard workshops that I do so it is relaxing, sitting, fun. My desk in in the family room right by the window and I can look out and see trees, and birds and squirrels and I love it. Lots of natural light, peace and while it may be a short time is enough to revitalize. With a special needs child you get used to not getting much down time so any sitting counts.
