On Friday night I was enjoying #wineparty when my husband came into my office, kissed me and said, "Goodnight."
"You're going to bed?" I asked him.
"I'm exhausted." he told me.
It was only ten o'clock but we had plans to get up Saturday morning at 6am to go to Concord, MA to watch a reenactment of the Battle of Concord - the second battle of the American Revolution.
I got thrown in Twitter Jail a couple of minutes later so I went into our bathroom to get ready for bed. While I was in the bathroom I started thinking about the FIRST time I was thrown in Twitter Jail and I decided that I was in the mood.
But hmm, how to handle the almost sleeping husband?
I walked out of the bathroom. "Are you asleep?" I whispered.
"Almost." he answered.
"I'm sorry." I said.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because I'm going to make you have sex with me." I told him.
He GROANED. "I love you." he said.
"I know." I said.
"But I'm so tired." he said.
"I know." I said. "That's why I'm sorry."
He groaned again.
"That's okay," I told him - not meaning it. "I was just thinking that I just took a shower and we could {do a couple of things that HE REALLY, REALLY likes}."
And that's all I said.
Sometimes you have to let ideas percolate.
About three minutes later I heard him roll over toward me.
I reached for him and said, "It's okay if you're too tired."
But of course I didn't mean it.
Woohoo! Concord represent! Happy Patriot's Day!

LOL. I so wish I could pull that kind of shit. When he's out, he's OUT.

I do the same but in the morning rather than at night, i get very sleepy at night haha.
I quite often wake up rather early at the weekend when my bf is staying, around 7 o'clock and he doesn't want to wake up. Within an hour we'll have had sex and someone's started making breakfast, win!

I LOVE it! As I often do with your posts! I often wake hubby up. Even if he does resist at first, pulling the blanket way up, and rolling away. Although sometimes I just have to sigh deeply and say "Ok, I guess I will take care of things myself...."

my wife would just have to use the line "resistance is futile" and I'd not be too tired.

You give me hope that someday I too will be in a relationship with someone who actually wants to have sex with me!
