I look forward to Boo coming home. Really, I do. It’s nice to have a man around to hold me take out the garbage.
But now that he’s home, I wouldn’t mind seeing the tail lights of his car drive down my driveway as he hits the road.
My loving husband is driving me nuts.
Between fighting him off every two seconds last night as he groped for my boobs, putting up with his perpetual requests for a blowjob and having to defend myself as to why there were no towels in the bathroom when he got out of the shower, I’m ready to be a semi-single mother once again.
I mean, dude. Really. It’s not like there were no clean towels. It was just that I forgot to put them away after washing, drying and folding them. They were sitting neatly folded on top of the dryer which you would have noticed when you walked into the laundry room to toss your dirty clothes on the floor (instead of the hamper neatly sitting two feet away) had you opened your eyes.
Or stopped thinking of blowjobs for all of two seconds.
Please don’t hold me responsible for the lack of butter in the house. I don’t cook. How the hell should I know if we don’t have any butter? Or milk. (Heh.)
There was beer. That ought to count for something. I should get points for thinking of you.
When I asked what you wanted for your belated birthday supper and you waggled your eyebrows and said a love taco, I thought you meant MEXICAN food. Not sex. Sheesh.
Don’t be mad at me just because as you pulled down your pants to hang your willy in my face and made lewd comments about having something good to suck on your daughter walked in. I was on the couch trying to read blogs and ignore the tube steak being waved in front of my nose. I didn’t ask you to tug the Pickle out to play show and tell.
Keep your snake in the grass so I don’t have to lie to your daughter and tell her you were just showing me how your zipper keeps slipping down.
When your son asks if I want to play with his brand new juggling balls that is not an invitation to grin like a mad man and offer me your balls to play with.
I don’t know if you know this, but our kids, they aren’t two and three anymore. They are growing up. They know what you mean. They are starting to figure out that their parents are perverts.
This is my polite way of telling you that you need to stop threatening to tie me up and spank me for being such a naughty girl when our kids are hanging on our every word.
With my luck one of our beloved demon spawn is going to start prattling on to his or her teacher about how their daddy likes to punish their mommy in the bedroom.
I’ve already got a reputation. Let’s not add to it shall we?
And when I ask you to pick up strawberries, ice cream and some whipping cream it is for the cake I baked for your birthday. It is not an summons for seduction and sex games thirty minutes before our dinner guests are scheduled to arrive.
Unless of course you are offering to scrub out the guest toilet and quickly vacuum so they don’t know we are sloths. Then I may be inclined to show my gratitude in a horizontal position.
But you didn’t offer. Too bad for you.
I love my husband. Really, I do. But somehow he seems to have mistakenly confused me for some local nymphomaniac porn star while he was away at work.
Twenty four more hours and then I’m home alone again.
It seems like an eternity.
Damn I suck as a wife.
Just not in the way Boo would like.

I couldn’t help but smile, reading this post, because your husband acts exactly like mine! I feel so sorry for you, lol.
Backpacking Dad
Poor Boo.
I wish I could offer him some advice, like: “Go read either ‘Porn for Women’ or ‘Porn for New Moms’ “.
But then he’d never be able to get YOU off of HIM. And a dude’s just gotta have some “me-time” every now and then without the wife saying “Oh, you cleaned that mold off the shower wall so good, baby…that was so hot…yeah, do it harder, scrub harder.”
Becky
Bwahahaha!
I wish my husband begged me for sex. Wanna trade?
justmylife
Sounds a lot like my husband. I thought men hit their high point at 18! Somebody lied to me!!!! Maybe they said started at 18, but when the hell does it end?
Loralee
First…Dear commenter #3 (Becky) If the blogging goddess doesn’t want to trade you, I WILL.
Ehem…
I totally empathize with you. My pet peeve is being woken up in the morning. I usually feel like I’ve been run over by a train in the morning and doing the mattress dance is usually WAAAAYYYY down on my list of things to do when I feel like that.
P.S.
Thanks for the email. I wanted to reply (because you made me howl w/laughter) but gmail has locked my account. I suppose sending a blanket apology to 700 people for sending them invites to a reunion site will cause that to happen. Sigh.
usedtobeme
HA HA HA I loved this post! Your marriage sounds like mine. Once, for Mother’s Day, my then kindergartner filled out a little questionnaire for me that was presented at parent teacher conference. It had my name, my age (she said 23. Love that kid!), my favorite food, etc. Then it got to the part where it said “My mom likes_________†and she wrote “when my dad spanks her butt.â€
I was mortified.
FishyGirl
With mine he wakes me up in the wee hours of the morning, like 3 am, and then can’t understand why I don’t wanna. Hellooo? I was just snoring and drooling a second ago, wasn’t that a clue that I was otherwise occupied?
MammaLoves
And what the hell is it with blowjobs?? The more he wants one, the less I want to give one. Seriously, left to my own devices I will. Just not when I feel like that’s the only thing you think my mouth is made to do. Damn.
Erin
First of all I feel for you…my husband is the same way, when he’s home. For a myriad of reasons I refer to myself as a married single mom, so I totally relate to your semi-single mother thing. The first sentence my now 5 year old put together was “Get off my mommy!!!!!” She was suppossed to be napping, so mommy and daddy went to take a “nap” too…oops!
Colleen
Ha! I laugh cuz I’ve been there. My hubby isn’t gone for days on end, but we work opposite shifts, so the days he and I are home at the same time MANY things just like this happen. I guess I should be flattered that after nearly 12 years together he still *likes* to grab my ass, but strangely I still slap him every time.
Rick
Blowjob? What’s that?
Been so long I don’t think my wife would remember how to work the giant cucumber
Hard up, all of us men are (grin).
Seriously – great blog today! Good perspective for us guys to have. You nailed it with having the beer ready, so what more could we ask for?
Cheers!
ali
i swear i could have written this post (except mine would only be half as funny…). seriously, though, when gabe goes out of town, i like it! it means i have both the remote and my body to myself!
MsPrufrock
Your husband should consider himself lucky. I don’t do blowjobs unless I lose a bet, and I make damn sure I never lose. Sucks to be my husband. HA! I didn’t even realise what I just did there with the whole “sucks” thing.
Anyway, hilarious post. I want to print it, frame it, and put it on the wall wherever my husband inconveniently pesters me for sex. Guess I’ll need about 100 copies.

Scary…. that sounds soooo much like my other half that it is scary I wonder if they could be Bro’s and if they are what sort of up bringing did they have LOL
the planet of janet
hilarious. totally hilarious.
er, uh, unless you were being serious. then, um, well, uh, maybe we could arrange a trade.!
SleepyNita
I adore when my husband is out of town, because let’s face it – there is one less man to take care of in the house. I can cook what I want, eat when I want and do what I want with the kids. The remote is all mine – and I can watch whatever I want at night. It is nice when he comes home, but seriously if he could go for a week and be back for a week and go again – that would be perfect.
As far as the blow jobs go, I have a way to put an end to the constant requests: Give your partner the paper tube from the middle of a jumbo roll of toilet paper. Make him keep it on his mouth WITHOUT using his teeth for 20 minutes while sliding it in and out. The grab his ears and put your hands on the back of his head a few times and push down. Maybe even shoot some salty ass water in there for fun. This ends the requests quite quickly – it worked here!

My preteens have let us know that they are painfully aware of what our “dates” in the bedroom really are. Oh well. Fun while it lasted.
Discojamboree
Wow. I can’t wait to get married.
Great post.
motherbumper
Yah, I suck too. And not the way that SB wants either. Seriously though, if SB did clean the house unprompted, there probably would be more stains on the sheets that I wouldn’t mind cleaning. Just sayin’…
Amanda (Shamelessly Sassy)
Speaking of sucking as a wife, I carried in all of the groceries from the store earlier..and left them in my garage for my husband to carry up the two sets of steps when he gets home. He’s going to love me for that. (Most of it is heavy cans). Additionally, I’m glad I’m not the only person whose husband randomly busts his junk out in her face while she’s just sitting on the couch trying to get some blog reading done. Next time, I’m gonna shut it in my laptop.
