senseless wisdom
truth, by anonymous:
“uninterrupted sex after children is unheard of”
absolute truth, by May:
“quiet, uninterrupted sleep after a 12 hour night shift, with two healthy, active, male toddlers is humanly impossible”
you may disagree with anonymous, but you can never disagree with me.


Regarding the first truth: we learned to shut the door. It didn’t always work, but at least it gave a moment’s warning.

I remember the pitter-patter of little feet shaking me out of a sound slumber. Good luck getting your Z-Z-Z-Z-Z’s.

I agree with both. We lock the doors to get our freak on. But you can’t lock doors with toddlers. That’ll get DHS on your doorstep.

And at this point I’d trade 1,000 orgasms with Richard Gere for one good, uninterrupted nights sleep!

I strongly agree with both! We have to run fast upstairs, and get it gone quickly. the lack of sleep speaks for itself

HAHAHA!
i love your sense of humor, may…
thanks for scaring me about having babies and being a nurse…i’m more scared about the sleep issues, than the first, as i will likely be a single momma.

Kids take out the heat in what would otherwise be a great sex life.

I am in nursing school as a second career choice. Two kids little sleep and sex is just a passing thought. No time for those things I need to study or figure out if which book to bring. The comments above ring true.
