Reply #2: Well,

[Aunt Anti-bush]

I am in my 30s too, but I feel like I'm 80. I get up at 5am each day because that's when my hubby has to get up to get ready for work and although I could sleep later I just can't fall back to sleep once the alarm goes off so I usually visit DU for a little while and drink about a half a pot of coffee. I work 9am until 5pm Monday through Friday and in the evening I have to come home and cook dinner, then do the dishes and clean the house up a bit. I sit down usually around 8pm or so each night for an hour to come to DU or to watch TV. I go to bed just after tucking our son in at 9:30. Saturdays I clean all day.

Some Saturdays like today, I have a lot of energy and I get everything done just in time to make dinner. (I just finished the cleaning and I'm smoking a cigarette before I have to start dinner here.) Some Saturdays I have absolutely no energy and it literally takes me until bedtime to finish cleaning. I do laundry all day on Sundays.

I never get a break unless I am too sick to go to work which isn't very often. My husband works long hours but he does try to pitch in but it still doesn't help very much.

Sex is like an apparition in our lives. I'd LOVE to exercise my sexual peak, which I know is in there somewhere, but I'm always way too tired. I have a really hot stud of a hubby and when I look at him, I still melt and want him really bad, but I'm just "too pooped to pop" so to speak.

I'm happy for you if you're able to enjoy your 30s. I feel like I, too, should be having the time of my life, but there just isn't any room.
