"It&amp;#039;s 5:50 in the morning. It seems that all my best attempts to get it together this week have failed more miserably than Cloris Leachman doing the hip hop dance number. I have over drafted my account, do not have all the food I need for tonight&amp;#039;s birthday dinner for Grandma (despite shopping yesterday), my house is a mess and I have to be at school at 7am for a pancake breakfast. In between all this you can bet that sex did not happen much this week. I feel kind of bad about our lack of romance this week. I&amp;#039;m the first to say that just because you don&amp;#039;t &amp;quot;feel&amp;quot; it does not mean you shouldn&amp;#039;t &amp;quot;feel&amp;quot; it anyway. Once you get going, it always relaxes you and ultimately brings you closer to your husband. But... and this is where I&amp;#039;m as guilty as my kids who are told they need to go to bed, &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t wanna! I don&amp;#039;t wanna!&amp;quot; I am just so CRANKY. A mindset has taken over this past week that I just can&amp;#039;t seem to shake. Maybe you can relate. It goes something like, &amp;quot;Oh, so I have to clean the house, care for the kids, shop for the food, cook the food, work AND satisfy my husband in bed?&amp;quot; Ugggg. I don&amp;#039;t like this attitude. My husband is really pretty amazing. He works his butt off for this family. He&amp;#039;s made a lot of sacrifices on a personal level so that my kids can get a great education, healthy food and a warm, loving home. While he isn&amp;#039;t the kind of man that provides running bubble baths for me at the end of a long day, he knows how to install shower heads and fix clogged drains when little plastic boats get shoved down the pipes. Not everyone has a hot handyman at home who equally adores his wife and kids. I owe my world to Rex. And so, despite it being dark outside. Despite my sticky floors and unmade school lunches. Despite my account about to bounce yet again (note to self: do not go back to school for an accounting degree) I am going to change my mindset. And it goes like this: I have a house! I have food in the fridge! I have family coming over tonight! I have job! Rex has a job! I have two healthy kids! It&amp;#039;s time to celebrate and stop whining. And never to be underestimated, it&amp;#039;s time to start having sex again. Because Rex deserves the part of me that is blessed, not cranky. And frankly, so do I. Look out for an attiude change next week. As well as reports of a more organized life. (Sadly, this makes such a difference in my sex life!) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
