Still on vacation. Today was another glorious day in the Sun: on a boat, no less. I’m grateful for my lovely husband and his ability to provide for our family and even this little vacation for my daughter and I. He works tirelessly, sometimes to the point of narcalepsy (jokes). But honestly, he’s the hardest working man I know to…
Day 76- Single Momming
#NewMomThoughts, 100 day writing challenge, Love and Marriage, Womanhood/SisterhoodThe hubs and stepson are gone so I’m on my single mom steeze for the next few days. I got so much done today and I’m damn proud of myself. With no one around to help I was able to shower, cook breakfast, make the bed, move the car to the right side of the street, take down and put…
I’ve sexed my husband the night before he leaves for a 9 day business trip. I feel complete. My job here is done. “Never leave your man hungry or horny” someone once told me. I don’t always live by this- don’t get me wrong. But tonight honey, Janine was on. Awakened from my sleep (per my request) to deliver the…
I’m tired but I planned to write. This may be short…as in it may feel like I’m being short with you. As a stepmother, and non-experienced mother, there are several things to navigate. A balancing act, if you will. At this point this is nothing new, but a recent scenario brought it back to my attention. I will list a…
My friend texted me about a sweet deal on airfare to Martinique:$250 for a 5 day trip in December. She asked me if I wanted to come along. My instinct is Yes, every time Yes! But wife-Janine had to check in with the hubs to see if he was on the Yes-train toooo . This ask would mean I’d be…
Today is the 5th year anniversary of our first date. Yes, we commemorate the first date. We’ve been working on the act of celebration recently. We find ourselves working and living day to day and sometimes we overlook our accomplishments. So, as a practice in celebration, we made today special. It was a lovely day, today. We spent it together,…
The following has been copied from my facebook post. They are words. I wrote them. So it counts. In our society, so much emphasis goes into getting into a relationship, getting married, the ring, the wedding, the “I Dos”..etc like once you have that, you made it. Lies. Rarely are there talks about how to sustain/maintain that relationship thereafter. What…
When I met my husband, he was part of a tribe of amazing men and women. I’ve grown to know and love them all. But when I first met the women, I was taken aback by how good they were to the men. And later I learned the men were just as good to them as well. The men offered…
Today was rather uneventful so I’ve decided to copy and paste my response to my friend’s question. It was a lengthy and insightful answer so I think it qualifies as my writing for the day. She sent this to myself and three other women “Because I trust the four of you specifically with this sort of thing – can you…
(Notes from Jan 10,2014) Today it dawned on me that having sex is a way to show/express love. Well duh, right?! No, not for me. This was my epiphany today. Historically, I’ve used sex as a tool, a means to an end, a carrot to dangle- that (and only that) was what sex was for in my world. There was…
