Well, speaking from experience.......

I try to knock out my Huney-do Scroll prior to the weekend.. and then I always invite her along.. bring the crab pots along (Red Rccks in the South Sound). Other trick... if you have kids, take them along too. That should provide a good little break for the wife.
(I like to load my daughter up on sugar before we get home. The I take a nap.)
