Taking a Mini Break and Having The Freedom to be Spontaneous

Hey everyone! Like I said yesterday, this past week has been
a busy one (what’s new, right?) But this week ended with a fun twist – an
overnight trip to Seattle with a group of girls, most of which I hadn’t seen in
quite a while…as well as the freedom to be spontaneous when I returned home. 

My childhood friend turned 30 this past October and we finally
got around to celebrating it two month later! She comes from a big family, so 4
out of the 7 of us were her sisters.  We
hadn’t all been together in years and it was nice reminiscing while having an
adventure. We went out to dinner, checked out Pike’s Place Market, and attended
a food demo event. After an entire week with an average of 4-5 hours of sleep
at night, I was happy, but exhausted before we left, and of course we didn’t
get much sleep on our one night out, so yesterday I was really wiped out, so
much so that I actually dozed off on the train home – which is really unusual
for me.  I was only asleep for a little
bit, and it definitely helped, but I was still tired when I got home last night
around 10:45.

My husband happily greeted me and I noticed the house all
clean. He was doing the dishes and our Christmas tree was in the stand all
ready for us to decorate it. It was so nice to come home to a house that wasn’t
a complete disaster. It was refreshing.

When things get busy I’ll be the first to admit that the two
of us don’t spend enough time to together, and even though I wanted to just
curl up and fall asleep last night I stayed up for a while. We chatted and I told him about the adventure I had while
he told me about Anika’s basketball games she played.

We don’t talk together often enough.

Even though I was completely exhausted I took the time to
sit and spend the time with him because I noticed just how much effort he put
into making the house neat – he had even pre-made a dinner for the next day for
us… things he doesn’t often do.

 Sometimes when women are tired things like being intimate with
their spouses just don’t happen as easily as they should because of many
issues, including vaginal dryness… you may remember me talking about the K-Y® Liquibead Challenge I began before Thanksgiving, and it’s definitely been
helping! Even though I was tired the Liquibeads still allowed me the freedom to be spontaneous.
