I’m more than a mother, I’m a woman, but even then I am still a mother and wife.
This afternoon I was watching a show (while doing my wifely chores) and it featured a married couple who were having a conversation in bed. The conversation went on about a few different topics, but then the topic shifted to sex. The husband said he was hoping to have an afternoon shag. The wife was shocked that all thoughts of men can be so quickly diverted to sex and everything can be dropped to commit the deed. She was explaining that she had so much on her mind, the house, waking up the children, housework, her career, and she was just not in the right frame of mind to be having sex. He did not understand how to a woman that sex would just not make everything so much better. She did not understand how men could put anything on hold at any given moment.
I was laughing hysterically during these few minutes of the show.
Why?
Because it was the exact replica of a conversation I had had this morning with my husband. How great is that! Even though both sides of the conversation were vindicated, I had to show him the clip to show it wasn’t just me claiming the list of chores on my mind that forbid me to relax and focus on another chore (or that’s what it felt like at the time) that would demand such attention that I couldn’t give it.
Men. Women are different than you. Our minds are always running with things we need to accomplish for you, our family, our children, and ourselves. And yes, we are sure yours may be as well, but we can’t always just turn that off and focus on something that, for women, takes much more time to prep for. Foreplay for women starts 24hrs in advance, and that includes prepping the mind and body. It is possible sure. So keep your hopes up, but also spend a little time showing us what we have to look forward to, later. And hey, we may surprise you too.
What do you feel more like at this moment??

Beauty Tips that really work!! From: cosmopolitan.com
1) Powder Your RootsIf your hairline starts to look greasy, dig up a big, fluffy makeup brush, and dip it into a pot of loose powder. Tap it once on the back of your hand to remove the excess, then dust it over your roots. It mops up oil and blends into your strands, so no one will know you didn't shower.
2) Scent Strands with PerfumeSpray a light shot of fragrance into the bristles. Run it through strands from roots to ends and your hair will smell amazing throughout the day
.3) Cure Calluses with VaselineSlather on the petroleum jelly, and put on socks before bed to dissolve tough calluses overnight.
4) Spot-Treat SmudgesDip a cotton swab in eye-makeup remover, and trace it along your lids to erase any slipups or goofs when there's no time to redo your whole look.
5) Fix a Flushed FaceIf you turn red and stay that way after exercising (like seriously red for hours, even though you're healthy and hydrated), take an antihistamine like Benadryl when you leave the gym to reduce redness.

6) Soften Your Bod with AvocadoTake a ripe avocado, remove the pit and skin, and mash it up in a bowl. Slather it all over your body, let it sit for 20 minutes, then rinse off. Your skin will be sooo soft — avocado is a natural moisturizer.
7) Super-Glue a NailInstead of tearing off your nail when it breaks, put a tiny dab of Super Glue over the split, and paint a generous layer of your favorite nailpolish shade over it. Go for an opaque option (like red, purple, or coral) to camouflage and seal the crack.
8) Use Makeup Remover on Stubborn LipstickDon't try to rub off red lipstick (which makes it smear across your mouth — not so sexy). Instead, take a cotton ball or tissue, dip it in makeup remover, and just dab to erase the dark stain fast.
9) Tame Brows with Eye CreamPat any kind of rich eye cream over brows to help keep them hydrated and banish those icky white specks that look like dandruff.
10) Buff with Baking SodaIf you find yourself streaking (not glowing) after applying self-tanner, put some baking soda on a loofah, and scrub away the stripes.
11) Brush on Hair SprayFor the final step of your blow-dry, spray hair spray onto your brush, and run it through strands from roots to tips. This way, your do isn't so plastered and stiff but still holds volume and shine.
