Booty Calls To Save A Marriage

Let's talk about this subject. A friend and I were discussing the sex between her and her husband and how she hates it. She said it was the worst sex she has ever had. Before discussing it with me she took it upon herself to let her husband know marriage is not for her and she thinks they will not make it because their sex life sucks! Yup she sure did tell him that. You know he started crying and told her he would work on it. Please let me know how you work on it? Anyhow they ended up having a huge fight and so much unwanted DRAMA that it just about ruined the entire weekend.

After my friend was done telling me the story I gave her what I thought was great advice. I told her that her husband was such a great guy and has so many great qualities that you should not leave him over sex all you need to do is make a booty call. She thought I was kidding or crazy or both. I was very serious though. First Im not sure sex is worth throwing in the towel on a marriage and second if its just a booty call is that cheating? I mean its no strings attached no emotions involved just great sex. You know a booty call nothing more and nothing less. I wonder if more marriages would survive if booty calls were aloud? And please tell me what is so bad about a booty call. Its not like you love another person or even want to be with this person all you want to do is have sex with this person. As causal as sex has become these days how can it be cheating.

Im sure a ton of people will think I am fucked up for thinking this way but I also think that my reasoning is pretty solid. I mean think of all the families that would be saved and how many marriages would not end up in divorce. If i have offend anyone I do apologize in advance but maybe we should think about this.


BTW - My marriage and sex life is perfect but if it weren't I wonder if I would be willing to do this. Im not even sure I could.

Holiday Parties

I really do love the holiday season but boy do I hate the parties that come along with it. I think about each party I have to attend and I have found out I hate one more than the other. Between Family, Friends and Work functions I am already over it and I have not even started yet!

Besides having to have "Game On" at these functions you have to worry about what to wear. This year I am having a problem with this. Normally this part of the ordeal is the least of my worries but this year I cant find shit to wear and i dont know how many more dresses or outfits I can try on before I kill myself! The past two nights have been spent running around looking for the "Perfect" holiday party attire with NO LUCK! I am running out of time and Im not sure if I can go back out in search of this outfit. I wonder why jeans and flip flops are frowned upon at these functions.

If you would like to suggest a holiday outfit for me to try please feel free to leave a comment...I NEED HELP!

Monday Blues

Mondays suck! I hated getting up this morning and coming to work! Now I am at work and I have been in the weeds since 8am. WTF! I wish I could just walk out and never come come back. If I did that I would be in big trouble so I guess I will just sit here work my ass off and hate every minute of it! I want to scream! I hope you are having a better day than me!

Who Needs A Doctor

I call Emily and my mom daily regarding Gracie and how to take care of her. I always need to know what to do if she is coughing, sneezing, runny nose, feels warm you get the point so basically I call ALL THE TIME. I rely on Emily mostly for all the tips and treatments for Gracie. Dude its so bad that I dont even care about what time I call or what she has going on at the time of me calling. I know that is rude but she should start looking on the bright side of things. I will list here why she should be happy that I would rather talk to her than Gracie's own doctor.
1. It shows how much I trust her
2. It let's her know I cant live without her
3. She gets to still be the boss of me ( Even as Adults)
4. We get to raise Gracie how she wants me to
5. I make her feel good by showing her how much I need her (Ego boost always good)
6. I am helping her get a jump start at her life as a doctor

So as you can see this really benefits us all. Ok so I am being funny. The main reason for this post was just to say a special THANK YOU to my wonderful sister who is always there for me. I want everyone to know how lucky I am and I hope that she does know how much she means to me and how much I appreciate her. So Em YOUR THE BEST!

Until Next Time....Blog To Say Thanks

BTW - Em this special shout out should clear all consultation charges! :)

My New Favorite Picture

Is The Grass Greener?

I am 1 of 3 children in my family with 1 sister and 1 brother. My role in the family as the middle child was always to be the black sheep problem child and for the most part I have done a fine job in that role. With that being said I have always worked even when I was 10 I worked all summer long for my dad so I could buy myself that new cruiser that I just had to have. As a teenager I had the normal teenager jobs you know dairy queen, burger king you get the picture. As an adult I found a career in the hotel business that I guess for the most part enjoy. Lately or for the past couple of years Im not liking it so much anymore its almost like Im over it but I stay because I refuse to give up the travel perks. Keep reading as I am getting to my point. My sister has 3 children and is a full time stay at home mother and wife oh as well as a graduate student so she keeps herself very busy and tries to stay sane while living like this. For a long time I NEVER wanted to be a stay at home mother and Im pretty sure I still dont want to be but for shits and giggles lets compare corporate jobs to stay at home parents jobs.

Corporate Job
You get a paycheck
You know your day will end
You have weekends and holidays off
You can be the boss
You get to be alone in your office
You can win awards
You can tell a co-worker to fuck off
You can take a sick day
You rarly see your kids
You miss all milestones
Your kids think your a friend
Your kids will fall asleep w/out a kiss
Your kids never say I want you

Stay At Home Parent
You work for free
Your day never ends 24/7
You never get a day off
Your kids are the boss
You are NEVER left alone
Awards....Do I even have a name
You cant curse your kids
You can NEVER be sick
You are always with your kids
You never miss a thing
Your kids think your GOD
Your kids cry till u kiss them
Your kids always say I want my _____


I could go on and on but its pointless. Here's where I am going with all of this. We are all very different and we all end up on different paths during our journey. I know we all have our days that we want to be somewhere else or want to be something different. I think we need to start enjoying the path we are on and forget the path we would rather be walking. I think that if we enjoyed where we were once in awhile we would see that the grass on our side is just as green as the grass on the other.

OBX Baby!

I cant believe how much fun we had on our trip to the OBX. You can not imagine how hard I found myself laughing at times. I have to tell you that I have a million stories and memories that were made on this trip but I will only bore you with a few.

Let me start by telling you that we were a group of 17 and that alone is funny as hell! Okay so Emily had AWESOME t-shirts made for us that I of coarse had to make a joke out of and had great laughs at the expense of the shirts but really between you and me I loved them and felt so proud to be part of something so special. Anyway yes we did all were our t-shirts out the day we took our trip on the ferry and believe it or not as silly as I thought it was and as hard as I made people laugh with my jokes of the shirt family people were asking us where we got them! Is that not funny as hell! I thought so. Our nights were spent with seventeen people sitting down for dinner and let me tell you the chatter among us was hysterical, besides my outbursts of jokes and the boys breaking down and doing the LIGHTHOUSE most nights I left the dinner table with a belly ache and not from eating too much but instead from laughing so hard. After dinner we would play games and when you play boys vs girls with alcohol involved that shit is priceless. In the mornings we would get up and sit and watch the dolphin swim by so that was turned into a joke as someone was always on dolphin watch! Just being around so much family was such a great experience filled with so much fun.

So the moral of the blog is this..... As my brother in law said on our trip, "Unfortunately we do not get to pick our family" and I just want to say even with the low parts of the trip I would never want to trade any of them in. I am truly blessed to have gotten to be part of something so magical and so proud that I am a part of such a wonderful group of people. I want to thank all of them for allowing me to build and share some of the best memories of my life. I hope that we can all get together and do it again.
