Night Time Is The Right Time

I think I mentioned in my first post that I tend to be a home body. A better description would that I would be a hermit if possible. Except I do need interaction with others to a certain degree. It's been an unwritten rule in my house that after 10 p.m. it's my "alone time" as my wife refers to it. The rule works something like this, I will help bathe and put Mr. B to bed. I will stick around and watch tv and be a good husband and talk. In return my wife lays down on the couch at 9 p.m. sharp, I take control of the remote and watch whatever thing it is I want to watch. Usually wrestling or whatever documentary, how it's made, or gangser documentary happens to be on. Tonight, it was flipping between Low Life, a 30 minute episode into the world of Low Riding cars and Miami Ink, a show about people getting tattoos. Exciting stuff for any woman. The point is the showing has to be boring enough to put my wife to sleep. At 10 o'clock, asleep or not, I exit to the back room where I watch really interesting things like who killed the electric car, record music, or watch Youtube or some combonation of at least two of these. My wife asks no questions unless something we have discarded but won't fit in the trash comes up missing. I usually tell her that I can't give out that information as she would become an accessory to whatever I happened to do with it and Mr. B would have to live with family while we pay my debt to society. This is my alone time, it allows me to unwind and do what I want to do and I stay in favor with the family. I think I will bring this up and try to get it passed as an amendment at the next "What the heck do our wives want from us?!" meeting. I'm sure this has never donned on a lot of men. The down side is, work starts early and I usually stay up late, so the morning starts with a round of "if you don't get out of this bed, I will put my feet in your back and kick you out!" but by 5 o'clock that eveing the morning is forgotten. So I live for 10, see you tomorrow night.
