It's been tough times here lately. Between back to school and football and the transition from half day kindergarten to full day first grade WITH homework - people are TIRED.
And I don't necessarily just mean the children.
Work is insane and as I sit here typing this it's after midnight and everyone except me is asleep.
I like to work when they're sleeping because 1) I'm not missing time I could be spending with them and 2) I can actually think.
After I hit publish on this post I'll crawl into bed and most likely crash - but if I can't I'll grab Carmen and let her romance me for a minute so that the endorphins can flood my system and carry me off to sleep.
There's a chance I'll wake my husband. And while it might be nice if he joined in, it might also be nice if he just rolled over and let us carry on.
Sometimes it's too exhausting to actually entertain someone else during sex - don't you think?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, sometimes married sex is just distracting the kids so your spouse can have 5 minutes to him/herself for a little release.
So if this weekend gets too hectic and you can't make time for each other, Take Turns.
you hit the nail on the head about Married Sex

I made time last night. I've been making it a point to do it, even on nights where I would rather just turn out the light and go to sleep. It's been good for us!

It's not a myth, nor a legend, it's just hard to get to (which made me snigger a bit as I typed that). And I love "Take Turns", because really, that's what a marriage takes.

My wife is at a conference at the moment (SheStreams) so nothing going on for the next two nights. Hopefully she'll return all rested and we'll have a "happy reunion." (*crosses fingers*) ;-)

I think sometimes, it's exhausting to entertain myself during sex, let alone Spouse.
Also? As an insomniac, I my own special friend for the same reason- sleep.

I'm too tired to even do it myself. I don't know how you do it. I think I just need to learn how to use my own Carmen better.
