most days my kids are in bed by 9:30 - 10pm. My son knows that it is mommy time (still, pretty much every time he'll come out of his room after being tucked in to talk about anything (toys,tv,school friends,etc). But still, he knows he has to be quick about it and go to bed, so that's when I decompress. I've let some things go (go a bit far in between cleaning) and just sit while watching the news/a movie and relax.
We just have to work w/what we have, take advantage of sleep overs and having the kids over at H's. Pick up an old hobby, go to the gym, something just for you.
