My evenings are hectic from 4 until about 8 normally. Errands, chores (horses and goats), feed the kids, clean up some, maybe fold a load of laundry, bath for the 3 year old, bedtime stories. Then, after they're out (8-8:30), I'll take a shower, pack lunches for the next day, and maybe have a bowl of ice cream and watch a little TV, but I haven't even had much time for that lately. I'm studying for a cert (which I have no hope of passing, but whatever) and will put a couple hours in every evening reading quality manuals. Yay me.
I rarely go to bed before 11, up at 5:45.

My evening routine really varies. I don't have to leave for work until about 9am (10am start time) and I get out at 5, so if I go straight home, I'm home by around 6. I usually try to go to the barn 2 nights a week, so on those nights, I'm not home until 8:30-9:00. DH usually has supper waiting, so I eat, look through the mail, take a shower and plunk my butt down in front of the t.v. until 11:00 pm, then it's off to bed. Of course I get up 10 times during the evening to let one of the dogs out, since apparently she can hold it for 8-10 hours during the day, but feels the need to go pee every 20 minutes when we are home.
If I don't go to the barn, I may stop and do some grocery shopping on my way home or run other errands. I'll probably do laundry or another household chore. DH and I might hang out outside for a bit or possibly grab something to eat out (not very often). DH usually makes dinner, since he's almost always home before me. I also meet up with friends for dinner on occasion. I like to spend at least 1 hour a night unwinding in front of the t.v. or reading a book.
I get up around 7am every morning and let the dogs out and feed them, watch a little t.v., then start getting ready for work, so I'm out the door at 9. So I get about 8 hours of sleep a night.

The only consistent thing about my evenings is that I usually practice yoga either in a class or at home. Everything else depends on how I feel that day. If I don't feel well, I lounge around reading or occasionally watching tv until 8 or so, when I start my bedtime routine. If I feel ok I run errands, piddle around the house a little or go out with friends. During my work week I try to be asleep by 10pm. That doesn't always work out so well since my work week includes weekends.

Swamp needs an 8 day week. me too! Me, three. Tomorrow, my day will start at 4:45, and I have to stay after school to hear an inspirational speaker. That wouldn't be bad, but I have to stay after school an HOUR before I hear the inspirational speaker speak for an hour. I will get home sometime after 5:30. That doesn't inspire me; it tires me.

When I get home from work, it's usually like this:
5:30---eat dinner with family 6:00---Play outside with kids until 6:45 6:45---Bath and winding down inside. 7:00--Reading books with my 2.5 year old twins. 7:15--Twins go to sleep. 7:16--Reading books with my 5 year old. 7:45--Bedtime for my 5 year old. 8:00--Catching up with wife/watching TV. 9:00--My wife will usually go to bed.
If I stay up, I'll either read, work on the computer on my side-business, or watch TV. I usually go to sleep around 10:30.

Lately I spend them in the store doing construction stuff. When that's done I'll spend them in the store assembling fixtures. Then I'll spend them in the store inventorying product and shelving it. I should get a couple hours to veg out sometime next month (knock on wood). Lol, you are making working for the man sound like a cake walk It was way less work, no doubt about that!
