The "wine" down

Introduction entry
     This is the part of my day that I truly find therapeutic, a glass of wine in hand and a few quiet moments alone.   A busy stay at home mom really needs more than 24 hours in her day! I know most moms will agree. After the kids are in bed (husband included in that) and all is quiet in the house, a mom just needs at least two extra hours to do anything that pleases herself!  A shower before bed or a time to do some bible reading is always included in my few minutes of peace and quiet, but really I just look forward to that glass of wine after a hard day's work!
     I  used to think that I had one of the hardest jobs in the world! After finishing college at 22, I walked into a classroom full of 30 raging hormonal teenagers times 4 classes a day.  For the next four years I taught English to 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders! After managing 100 plus kids and trying to teach them the difference between a noun and verb, a glass of wine or two was my saving grace!  Now after having a child, I realize that there is NO JOB harder than being a mother!
    I raise a glass of White Zinfindel tonight and cheer all hard working mom's! Every mom needs a few hours at the end of the day to "wine-down"!!
