Knowing my hubby and what he loves is very important. I know that in the evening he likes for me to sit with him and watch tv and then be with him in the early morning hours (like one or 2). And then sleep in late and snuggle until late in the am like 10 or 11. He'd rather I work later into the night and sleep in with him than get up and do in the morning. I don't know if that made sense or was even about what you were talking about, but that's what I was thinking about while I was reading. lol.

That, and I asked him, which he'd rather - snuggle with you or fold laundry. He said it depended on how far behind I was on the laundry. lol!

For me it is normally my hubby who says let's leave it - you need your sleep! I'm one of those 'crazy' women who doesn't give her hubby much of a chance to initiate cause I get in there first! The other day we had hinted at it but by the time night came I was tired. I remember making a choice to proceed because I'd 'made the commitment' already. Even though I was tired I chose to focus (getting better at that!) and to really enter into the moment and get lost in it. Result: Hubby was blessed and I was too and I was able to head off to sleep more relaxed and with sweet dreams! :D

LoL--N. I love how you think! Loving with our husbands is a GREAT escape from housework! ;)

And Larie, I've so been in your spot, too! This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately because I know that those with little ones especially really struggle with just not getting into sex because they're run down and TIRED!!

Hugs for you ladies with little ones pulling at you. These days DO pass!

But my body does not respond as it should when I know that there are things left undone because I was "giving myself" to the kids all day. Therefore I'd rather not even insult my husband by "just doing it cause he wants to." Our husbands know when we are not emotionally involved.

No excuses, just whining, sorry.

smooches,
Larie

Mmm... good one! Maybe instead of having the attitude of, "I have so much to do that I just don't have time for this right now!", I could have the attitude of, "Thank you, honey, for rescuing me from doing more housework tonight!!" Because you know what, that stuff will still be there tomorrow. And, it's not really that important anyway.

GREAT post, just what I needed to hear - before I rush off to do something else! Thanks for the reminder that even those few minutes of time can be like balm to our busy souls (his as well as mine).

I was always better at digging for socks anyhow ;-)

Great post! I can totally relate to both rabbits. And, when I've made the right choice, I know the peace and joy of choosing to be with my husband instead of the laundry. It really is a blessing to both of us when I put him ahead of the housework. It just takes a change of mindset to think along those lines.

Thanks for encouraging us to think this way. I know that God is using your blog!!!

Blessings to you... Jennifer
