My 5th blogiversary was apparently Saturday. That’s right. I missed. I looked today and noticed that my first blog writing was dated October 24, 2004 and was about political campaigns.

Happy me.

I don’t think I’ve been spanked in a few days. I am not complaining. Chris has had mountains of schoolwork that had to be done plus a 60-hour work week. It hasn’t left many hours in which to indulge any need or desire for intimacy, let alone sleep. He comes home from work exhausted, eats,  and heads to his desk for 4-5 hours of schoolwork, with a bit of twittering to stay awake. And if I’m heartily sick of the usual round of chores (laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, dishes) then there’s not much for either of us to do but grin and bear it.

I told him last night, a bit petulantly, that I was tired of being grown-up and responsible. He looked up from whatever article he was reading with bloodshot eyes and said without pause, “I can arrange that. But then you’d have chores to do.” I wanted to add that I was tired of him having to be grown-up and responsible, but took the hint and fled instead.

Part of me wants to say that I need a vacation, and yet we discussed going away for a weekend with the Princess and I said no. Going away leaves more work to do when I return….

I think it  might be those damn hormones. Again.

   It’s not the damn hormones, it’s the damned annoying way real life gets in the way of having a real life. Same thing happening here with no relief in sight so I send much sympathy even if I can send nothing else. Sigh. It will get better, but sure tired now…

     I’d rather be able to blame the hormones, hm? lol.

   Oh Good now you’ve helped me figure out what my problem is (beside being married to an overachiever). I do hope you two get some time together. It is restoring. In the meantime… there’s always our romance novels! They certainly help keep me from a life of crime.

     Yes,I have about 5 Stephanie Laurens novels on my Kindle, as yet unread. And yet I’ve sworn not to read only those, so instead I’m mired in Joseph Conrad. Ew.
