40 marbles or more...

I thought this was interesting.  I had lunch with a friend today and as we both were lamenting the sad state of our marriages she told me about a conversation she had with a therapist.  Apparently if you give your husband a jar filled with 40 marbles, at any point when he wants to have sex he can give you a marble.  Now once you have received the marble you have 24 hours to make good on your promise of sex. 

OK this does not sound bad but....what if your husband wants sex like 5 nights in a row?  Can you veto at any point.  Plus does he just hand you the marble at breakfast or does he leave it hidden in different places around the house.Oh and what happens if you run out of marbles in like June, no more sex for the year?

Its an interesting thought and idea, I am just not sure that this would work in our house.  Something to think about though.

Tivo Mom: August 1 - Here we go....

Jealous or true?

So I am on my annual month-long trek to North Carolina from Florida.  During this month my husband comes for a portion of the time for vacation but for the remainder he stays in Florida.  I received a phone call from him yesterday about how he had to go to work to fund my vacation.  I was a little short with him and explained that time with the children is not vacation (hey I am still Mom 24/7) and that he was able to come home every night and do exactly what he wanted. 

Hmmmm should I feel bad for him?  I am not thinking that I do.

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.
