No MoJo

Y'all know that my husband and I have a great sex life for a married couple with 4 kids but the truth is that even we get into lulls and have to work to get ourselves out.

Take this weekend for example - I got home from New York on Thursday night and by Friday night I was EXHAUSTED. The kids stayed up until almost 9 and by the time we tucked them in my husband was ready for a shower and a beer and I was ready for #wineparty.

I recovered from my exhaustion apparently because an hour later I was thrown in Twitter Jail for being overly social.

I logged off and jumped into bed and feel fast asleep - so quickly that I didn't hear my husband come to bed an hour later.  

The following morning - weekend mornings are usually our sweet spot - we both slept so late (think 10ish) that when we finally looked at the clock and realized what time it was we jumped up to get some errands done.  (It didn't help that my oldest son was in trouble and had been sent to his room 'for the weekend' and was therefore 15 feet away from us.)

Saturday night we went to a party.  We got home at close to 11 and were headed to bed by midnight.  As we got into our pajamas I said to my husband, "I have to go to the bathroom." but he was in caveman mode and intentionally hip checked me into the bed so that I fell over and was lying on the bed.  I was so annoyed at being manhandled by the drunk guy that I stormed out of the room and hid in the bathroom until I heard him snoring.  I'm not sure he noticed.

I wasn't really mad but neither was I aroused by his drunken lechery.  (Although there was a time, back in my prime....)

But I digress.

Sunday morning I woke up at 8 and couldn't get back to sleep.  He was still sleeping.  I was annoyed with myself so I got up to do errands and go for a run.

I'd like to say that we refound our groove on Sunday night but did you see that PATRIOTS GAME?  Who could relax during that?!?!

So yeah... we're in a dry spell.  And that's okay, we just need to work hard to make sure it doesn't turn into a drought.

Wish us luck!

And GOOD LUCK TO YOU TOO!  (Get some!)

Don't even go there about the Patriots game...ahhhhhhhhhhh! I am pretty sure my TV thinks I am made at IT, as I yelled very, very bad things towards it during that game.

Get some. Get much.

I've come to the realization that a dry spell isn't necessarily bad, as long as you acknowledge the dry spell. "We're not having sex, and that sucks, but we will have regular sex, sometime, preferably sooner than later" works a lot more than "we haven't had sex in awhile, and there is no end to this in sight, so let's tiptoe around the subject."

Christmas weekend coming up, give a present early

I agree with DaddyRunsALot - when you're both going through an insanely busy period or it's not happening for whatever reason, it's great if you can look at each other, laugh and say, 'We WILL have nooky again. It may not happen overnight but it will happen' - it just takes all the sting out of it. And you're much more likely to make it happen the next night :-)
