Reports of my passing have been grossly exaggerated
by Liza Sabater
What a brutal two weeks I've had. The worst part, though, is not the getting sick. The worst part is going back to work --which is writing, designing websites and blogging. The older I get, the more difficult it is for me to just jump back into the swing of things.
It's either that or the fact that I have not had real down-time, aka "a vacation", in about 8 years and my body knows it. It uses illness as a way to tell me, "Slow down". It's hard to slow down and give yourself time when you have kids. Because if I am not working, I will always be "on mommy mode". That's something that just can't be switched off when the spawnage is around.
Which is why most moms I know don't fantasize about having a staff of turgidly handsome guys (and maybe some girls too) banging at her every whim. Most moms I know fantasize of being whisked away to an undisclosed location, with round the clock service. They all drool over the idea of having a big bed, all to themselves, to sleep with no interruption and to their hearts content.
Isn't it sad? At my age and with my "demographics", quiet time is the new kinky sex. Who new?
Anyhow, there's a lot we need to catch with folks. Let's get back to blogging!

I hope things are getting easier. I totally feel you on the quiet time ... sometimes it's on par with the best of orgasms.

Damn! do I relate to this post!! Most of the time I would just go to work sick, because hell...I had to get up out of bed and drive the little one to day care anyway, and if I didn't I sure as hell wouldn't get any rest! ;)
Yep, right there wit' ya. I fantasize about sleeping in, and delicious gourmet meals that involve no dishwashing, and loads and loads of quiet, peaceful time to read, chill, or think.
But...I'd settle for some kinky sex!

Oso, you're so lusty...
Lubu, you crack me up. NO DISHWASHING! I laughed out loud through my lung hacking when I read that. I do have to say that dream has been fulfilled in this household. I live with a man who finds odd pleasure in washing the dishes. And the kids enjoy it as well.
I'll cook anytime. Just don't make me do the dishes.
Kinky sex? I'm so sick I can't even picture what that would look like. You now I'm in trouble when my libido is almost gone!
