How I’m staying sensuous

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

I'm overworked and underslept and somehow I'm staying sensuous. Wake up at 5am. Dress. Feed dog. Wake DC. Ask DC to take dog out. Grab protein shake and herd DC out the door. Take DC to bus stop at Ex's house. Drive to technical writing client's office. Work 10 hours. Drive home. Run errand. Make dinner. Serve dinner. Clean up after dinner or coach DC to clean up after dinner. Homework patrol. Bedtime. Repeat next day.

Somehow I'm staying sensuous. Here's what's working for me:

  • Wearing womanly-woman clothes
  • Laughing with my children at least once a day. When my mama heart is happy, it boosts my sensuouswife heart.
  • Wearing at least one thing that makes me feel gorgeous...pretty jewelry/accessories/makeup
  • Noticing an admiring glance and smiling back appreciatively
  • Enjoying my favorite toys
  • Wine or chocolate in moderation
  • Hot salty baths
  • Reading a good book in a soft comfy bed or a hot salty bath
  • Saving some time every day for my Sweetheart. Sweetheart helps a lot because he notices and appreciates every little thing.

What works for you?

How do you stay sensuous even when you're super busy?

Just want to hold this moment

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

I'm seated on a big fluffy Zepplin pillow. My beautiful sweet dog is sleeping on the floor at my feet. I've just watched a fun romantic comedy chick flick after I got off the phone with a friend who called to wish me well with my sweetheart. My friend knows us both and is very happy to see our relationship give us both a lot of joy.

Tonight Ex invited me over for dinner. It was really good. I sat at his new table and enjoyed a meal that Ex prepared for the DC and me. The mood was cordial. Friendly even. We were able to show love to each other even though we aren't together anymore.

This weekend I took my DC camping. I've not done tent camping in years! But we did it! While we huddled together to keep warm in the cold, DC told me "Mom this is the best birthday ever." Oh and I've learned a bonus from having a big dog. They help keep your family warm at night! I've always been a 'no pets on the bed' person. But in 40 degree weather in a tent, I'll make an exception!

I got caught up on sleep today and the DC and me had a lazy day snuggling on the sofa with the dog and watching movies. I even slept through church. Ssssh! Don't tell! (giggle) This corporate gig had been kicking my butt with long days with 6 hours of sleep night after night and after a short night of camp sleep, I was heavy-lidded and ready for some Zzzs.

Before we left on our trip, my car needed to go in the shop and I couldn't get off work to take it. My awesome parents gave me a ride to work and babysat my car at the shop.

Simple pleasures. Sleep. Dinner with my family. Talking to people who love me..my sweetheart and friends. Bonding with my pet. My awesome parents. Finding out that even though Ex and I are divorced, we and the children are still a family.

All of this is grace, pure grace. And I am thankful.

I am more loved now than ever before.

More cherished
more respected
my deep heart is truly seen and heard.

My heart is so full! I just want to hold this moment. <3

Connect Without Words

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Imagine this. You've just worked a ten hour day in Corporate America. The sun is setting. Your kids have long since done homework with the babysitter, you are hungry, but too tired to eat, and you're hoping there is enough peanut butter or ham to make sandwiches because the idea of cooking is so not going to happen tonight. You ease behind the wheel of your car, and as you drive home, a smile spreads over your face because you're thinking of kissing.
Kissing??? Yes, kissing.
On a night like this, you desperately need love and affirmation, affection and connection. And your brain may very well not be able to process a high-level conversation with your Sweetheart. But lovely nonverbal kissing? Your brain can process that just fine. Nothin' like some physical touch love language at the end of a hard day.

I thought about this on the way home from work last night. I smiled all the way home.
