The Lazy Days Are Over
This weekend was the calm before the storm. Next weekend, the spring soccer season and club wrestling will both be in full swing. So, California Girl and I will once again be out and about most of the weekend. We haven’t worked out the master schedule yet; but there will not be very many opportunities to sleep in on Saturday or Sunday. We’ll probably continue our tradition of going home for a quickie (or something longer if there is time) in between the girl’s games.
I do wonder if we look like we just had sex when we get back to the sidelines with the other parents. The Girl likes to come home, take a shower, cool off, and have a quick nap between games; so California Girl and I are usually undisturbed. It’s a nice break since we are usually up and out early. We put a lot of miles on the car SUV; but there is no substitute for sex.
Frequent sex is normal for us; but we sometimes wonder how other parent’s fit sex into their lives; especially given how busy families are these days. We usually try to set aside time during the day; but will sometimes wake up early if we have a scheduling conflict. We have our evenings together too; but weekends were made for double (and triple) headers. So, here’s a question for anyone reading: How often do you and your SO typically have sex between Friday night and Monday morning?
I think we’re going to go upstairs and “practice” for next weekend now. Everyone have a great night.
Update: Our typical weekend schedule is: Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday night, Sunday morning and Sunday night for a total of five.
We try for three but it varries depending on outside influences. He is not as willing to start anything when we have overnight guests unless they go first.
The demands of life and employment do occasionaly eat into the weekend especialy in his line of work.
Usually once in a weekend on a Sunday morning when we both have time to stay in bed beyond the normal start time during the week. But we did surprise ourselves last weekend as I reported in my blog!
We usually get to have some fun on Friday & Saturday evenings, then on Sunday morning.. I love this time of year, the kids are active, makes us active. I like it..
Friday to Monday, We try to get it on as often as possible. Usually 5-8 times. I don’t know what we are going to do when we are married and have kids.
But, I hope we are doing as well as you two.
Wendy: That’s one reason why we don’t have overnight guests. The children have sleepovers but they usually spend the night in the basement in the home theater watching movies and we’re two floors away from them. The master bedroom is down the hall from the other bedrooms anyway so we have maximum privacy.
Lapis Ruber: We’ll set two alarms and wake up early if we have too. Even if we’re a bit tired during the day, we still feel better than if we had more sleep and less sex.
Him & Her: Our kids are really busy this time of year too. Sometimes, it takes a Herculean effort for Saturday and/or Sunday morning/afternoon sex. But we really, really like our “schedule”. Years ago when we started, it seemed weird not being spontaneous; but frequent weird sex was much better than the intermittent sex we were having when we waited for a serendipitous moment.
Grizzly Bear: You’ll sit in a sports chair and watch them run up and down the sidelines. Having kids take a bit away from your just the two of us life style but they add so much. For example, the ability to take joy in very simple things. They are on top of the world if they score a goal and they pull you up there with them. When The Boy’s wrestling team won their league we (the parents) felt like it was our trophy. Watching your kids do well is one of the greatest feelings in life.
sex is not a priority for my husband. He makes the effort once a week most of the time. Right now it’s been over a week.
We know what you mean. We try to have it twice over the weekend, but T-ball, Baseball, and Soccer get in the way as well as the activities of teh week catching up to us. We were luck to have rain and snow last weekend to cancel all activities and allow us a little more time.
Ken
Kitty: I’m sorry to hear that. Sex is always a priority for us (unless we have had a fight). It just makes us feel better about everything. Now that we have children and are so busy, its one of the few things that we have consistently done throughout the history of our relationship. So it makes us feel like us if that makes any sense.
Ken: Kids these days certainly do more than when California Girl and I were younger. Ours are old enough to watch and entertain themselves so we can make time if they don’t have to be someplace. Maybe you should try doing something during the intermissions (i.e. the break between games). Ours are so busy eating and sleeping that they probably don’t even notice when they haven’t seen us for a while.
