Hey Maria.. and Michelle, I was going to say.. I thikn I read somewhere once that for a healthy balanced life, we should spend a 1/3rd of our time at work, a 1/3rd sleeping and the other third with friends, lovers, family... so reckon you have it about right Michelle! And I also think he sleeps a little too much.

M, definetly show him the chart! Because men are more visual and he will 'get it' more than words (where according to that book he will just hear - blah blah, nag, nag, you're a failure, you've let me down and the kids, again.. etc etc!) And what did you think of the 'adjusted' one, the one how it should be??

The 30 mins.. ha, I knew you wouldnt like that.. but I added on the extra couple of minutes there must surely be in bed each day, 1 minute when he gets in, 1 minute when you get out, during which you must surely speak to him without the kids there (!?? maybe not, lol!) and that added to the 15 mins he saw you at the airport makes 30 !

Ok, I was clutching at straws and the sliver still barely showed up anyway!!
