How do you respond?

Tivo Mom: How do you respond?: "As most of you know I have 2 children. They are 7 and 10 (almost) now and I can no longer shield them from the goings on of the world. As ..."

This is so true....

Is this saying that women are hard to read?  Well, I never...

Do you ever just not want to have sex?

I am in a bit of a slump.  I just don't want to have sex....at all!  Usually I can get geared up for it and actually look forward to it but the past few weeks I have not been able to muster that up at all.  Oh, I have had a few flashes of want and even had a bit of pity sex (pity on my husband) but the overall urge has just flown the coop.  My husband is having a heyday with this, as you can imagine and we have been fighting a lot.  I am working on it but this better end soon or else my husband really is going to find that hot, young, blond with big boobs.

I have fears...

I always say that my biggest fear is that my husband will leave me for a young, tall, blond with big boobs (OK its not really but this is the exact opposite of me).  I am neurotic about being made a fool of, and I know this but my husband does not help with his "I don't give a shit attitude".  So I look at his phone and read his facebook stuff.  I know, I know trust is important and I know that my husband would never really cheat on me.  But (and this is a big but), we know too many people who it has happened to and people that you never would have expected.  Anyway, when I looked at his phone last week he had erased his call logs and of course my brain went all over the place.  I could not sleep and I just let my imagination run away with me.  Anyway, has anyone else ever had these fears?  Or has this happened to anyone?  By the way, the husband's phone was full and he erased his call logs.  He knows I check his phone so I assume that he thought nothing of it.  I guess. 

I am feeling a little guilty...

I live fairly far from my closest friends and family (3 states away).  Lately I have been extremely homesick and complaining a lot about where we live and missing everyone.  I was told when we moved down here that it would only be for 2-4 years.  We are coming up on the 5 year mark with no end in sight (who knew the economy would collapse).  I have a tendency to take all of this out on my husband who I know is under a lot of stress at work.  I need a better outlet but I also need him to realize how much I don't want our children raised where we currently are.  Just venting a little so I will not vent to him.  Point being, its not always the men that are a pain in the ass. 

So familiar....

Happy Mother's Day to me

So my husband has a hard time buying me gifts.  I have to nudge a lot to make sure that I get what I want (and /or need).  So for Mother's Day I got a pair of shoes that I bought two weeks ago.  Now if I had known that these shoes were going to be my gift, I would have gone for the more expensive pair.  Now that I have hit the day of me, so to speak, it is a little sad that I have had nothing to open.  I know, I know I sound like my 7 year old but something else would have been nice.  Not a gift but flowers or something.   Anyway, Happy Mother's Day to everyone and to me as well.  I will wear my shoes with pride and know that I have excellent taste...
