A Sexless Weekend
For the first time in a long time, California Girl and I went a whole weekend without sex. It wasn’t for lack of desire so much as for lack of time. I’m sure that we could have squeezed in a quickie; but I didn’t want for her to think that I was working her in around a very busy weekend. I know it happens to everyone on occasion but I don’t usually feel like I am too rushed and harried for sex. But this weekend, the chores have been piling up. Among other things, I need to cut the grass, replace some lighting in the kitchen, and run some errands. But it was all I could do to take a few minutes and pump water from all of the rain we had last week out of the pool before it over flowed. I really, really need some TLC with an emphasis on the “L”.
I also need to do something nice for California Girl. Despite the excellent weather we have been having, I did nothing but work, work, and more work. When the kids were small, I used to work long hours much more frequently. Nowadays I feel like I’m missing out if I don’t get at least one day off over the weekend. When the kids were younger, I thought that we would all be together forever; so I didn’t really think much about doing whatever it took to get the job done. Now, every singe say seems a lot more precious. I’d like to come home early tomorrow and just relax with the family. And maybe take California Girl out to eat. I’ am so ready for the weekend. Unfortunately, the work week just started.
Your frustation comes through. But here is the place after all to vent, and tell us about the busy times. Such is life after all. Things will get better – soon I hope.
Life can be busy…but make sure to carve out some time for each other.
It’s more important than people realize.
I can only agree with my other two lovely lady commentors. Hang in there dude.
Rosie: I think that frustration is an accurate description. Especially since there are people in the organization who aren’t working nearly as hard. There always are but it irritates me when I’m doing something that they should be able to do but can’t for one reason or another.
Kelly: Caring out that time for family has been difficult. I work to live and not the other way around but we have to keep the customers happy or it’s bad for everyone.
Rob: I’m hanging. Just not very happily.
