*Warning: Super honest post ahead.
After almost 14 years of marriage I feel like I still wield some power. C’mon, I can’t be the only girl out there who is trading IT away.
“Ug. I think I have a headache.” Is commonly heard uttered from my lips. Sometimes it is legit!
Back rub begins. Le Sigh.
“Honey really, “ I lament “I’m sorry I’m just SO tired.”
Then Hubby pulls out the big guns. He offers to let me sleep in the next morning, wash my car, and go grocery shopping. As a last ditch effort he offers to take the kids WITH HIM on his grocery run.
Suddenly I am all kinds of in the mood.
Did I just prostitute myself out for a clean car, a quiet uninterrupted nap and some snacks?
Sheesh. Next time I am holding out for jewellery.
Been there, done that; and if the man is really smart he does the jobs once in a while to get you in the mood without the preamble. But it doesn’t happen often. Lol 21 years of marriage over here!
OMG,honestly reading your blog cracks me up…i love it !
It doesn’t count if no cash changes hands…at least thats what I tell myself 😉
Get the jewelry first. Then put out. That’s how I roll.
Damn I need to try that! Oh wait I don’t think he would offer to take the kids, maybe I need to work on this one 🙂
YES you are.
And every woman does it too. This I know!!
wish i could trade IT like you! :p

This post made me laugh out loud. Doesn’t matter why. 😉
When I read the title of your post I started laughing, because I knew right then I wasn’t alone either! A girl’s gotta do what a girl has to do sometimes. Also, it works way better than nagging, no?
