Not enough time in the day.


When your a mother to a child, a child of any age, you find that there is not enough time in the day to do everything, now many of you who have children under the age of a year old, know this and know this well. I'll give you a scenario.
Your beautiful baby spends half of the night awake and crying out in pain due to those new little teeth trying to make there way out. You wearily and half zombie like, half auto pilot make your way out of your comfortable bed to fetch the motrin/ gripe water/ teething tablets.. whatever you haven't previously used in an attempt to get at least 3 straight hours of rest.
Just when you drift back off to sleep after getting rid of the insomniac anxiety of "is he going to wake up again" you hear your hubby's alarm clock which lets you know its 6 am and you have only gotten hmm lets see 4 or 5 hours of decent shut eye..
You end up rising at 7.30 am due to the fact that your little man is hungry and has seen the sunshine coming thru the curtains and immediately knows. Its time to wakeup!
You spend the day cleaning, doing the washing and running erands. Nothing out of the usual.
You organise a nice meal for when your hubby returns home from work and count the minutes til he gets home so you can have an hour or so to yourself.
Once the baby has gone to bed, you've eaten, oh and by the way cleaned up the kitchen and picked up for the lets see.... umpteenth time that day, you can finally retire to the bedroom.
NOW what i'm about to say may or may not happen to everyone out there.
i know there are some superwoman/ nimpho's.. no harm said. out there..
But let me tell you, now this happens to me every so often.. not all the time do i not feel like jumping my husbands bones and doing the wild thing. BUT..... when you've had limited sleep, been on your feet all day and can barely find the time to remember to shave your legs..
mothers i know we all have days like this..
the last thing you want to do is have sex/fuck/make love...
Many times i have had the conversation with my adoring husband, "honey i'm just not in the mood" or "not tonite babe"
for myself to feel guilty, and think, "were did my mojo go??"
And why are men always horny, they could fuck thru rain, hail, they can fuck when there tired, have a headache, they get horny when they see panties or smell perfume..
The male and female species is so far from alike it just amazes me.. for instance.. men are at there prime sexual time from the time they learn they can masturbate to around 30.. we as females don't reach our full prime and its been researched.. til we hit about 40.. when the kids have left for college and we finally feel sexy and happy with the way we look.. phat, curvy, tall, short, frumpy all of it..
it makes me wonder.. If the men could switch jobs with us for a week, and not just be a stay at home dad.. but really switched jobs, i'm talkin, cooking, cleaning. heck even remembering to shave your legs.. would they still be as horny as they are??? or would the shoe be on the other foot??
At the end of the day tho, there is just not enough hours in the day for a woman to please everyone..
Now just when you think your finished for the day, and you drift off for what you think is a recuperating sleep... you hear in the distance over the baby moniter, your beautiful baby crying and those bloody teeth again are STILL trying to make there way out.
