That you are, & we, your dear readers, thank you immensely for writing and sharing and speaking so wonderfully, so smack-dab-truthfully, that some of us are moved to tears. <br />How cool is that??!<br /> It is awesome really, that you possess such skill. Keep doing what you are doing. <br />I am one of your fans who looks forward to your upcoming book! :)<br /> And on another note, remember that this too shall pass & you are perfect just the way you are, gloriously imperfect.

The post-surfing sex of your twenties will remain glorious in memory, never to be repeated. There will be new nights, the house empty, with plenty of time for snuggling under the blanket, teen-style. There will be long, languishing mornings in bed, with sex and coffee and crumbs and newspapers. I promise. <br />Meanwhile, marvel in the mornings with monkeys.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865960031511091370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-54820541001887360382012-09-27T21:52:55.774-07:002012-09-27T21:52:55.774-07:00A++A++Juleshttp://www.pancakesandfrenchfries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-77593817134855231342012-09-27T20:48:34.322-07:002012-09-27T20:48:34.322-07:00i too read your blog often and wonder the same thi...i too read your blog often and wonder the same things, about real life and mommyhood. the role of wife and lover taking the backseat, sometimes out of the necessity of sleep, but other times out of disinterest in keeping that part of myself roaring...thank you for your words and thoughts...they always make my dayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-61059717399852630072012-09-27T12:52:46.810-07:002012-09-27T12:52:46.810-07:00You really do have the best writing style.

Sometimes we only talk about logistical things and sometimes we don't make time for even that.<br /><br />Find some time to sneak in a quickie or have a mini-makeout session in front of the TV at night. Usually that's enough to reconnect you and get you by during this time... give you that little glimmer in your eyes over morning coffee.<br /><br />I love what Heidi F. quoted here. *sigh* xoCindy W.http://www.daisiesandcrazies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-12693466541621706192012-09-26T19:07:04.302-07:002012-09-26T19:07:04.302-07:00You are the only blogger I have ever followed.

But I never forgot you and I always checked back and when you put something out there it's good. I am not married nor do I have kids. I do not own a home. I am single and live in Old Town Scottsdale, AZ but when you write...about your love for your family, kids, husband...it evokes emotion from me. Sometimes I laugh, Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I laugh until I cry but I love the way you express yourself and your sense of self and weirdness.
