Ladies: You know you’re in a rut when:
Your husband sticks his tongue in your mouth and your first thought is “EW GROSS”.
Sex daily: Never
Sex weekly: Hardly
Sex monthly: Maybe
Sex yearly: Just Right
The kids know what’s in their lunchbox before they ever open it, every day, of the entire school year and it is certain it will contain peanut butter in some form or another.
The kids would bet their entire Lego mini- figure collection that on Mondays they will eat meatloaf on Tuesdays they will eat taco salad and Saturday is spaghetti night etc. etc. etc.
Even the mailman knows that the brown velour pants are a favorite of yours.
If you go to your favorite restaurant you don’t even have to speak because the waitress will automatically bring you a glass of pinot, a side of cheese sticks and Sandwich #7 hold the mayo.
No one ever calls before 8a.m. because that’s when you shower or after 8p.m. because that’s when you watch Real Housewives.
You don’t have to DVR because you are always home after 8 o’clock, no exceptions except a long PTA program once a month.
Date night consists of sitting side by side on the couch instead of him in the recliner and you in the spot with the side table.
When you hear the word party you immediately think Kangaroo Jacks or Pump it Up.
So, Ladies, this Mother’s Day do yourself and everyone else a favor.
Break out of that rut and bust out a new shirt, leave the comfy pants in the laundry pile, order a shot of tequila and something new off the menu, go see a movie or ride a roller coaster, kiss your husband the way you used to, cook enchiladas instead of taco salad, pack roast beef sandwiches with cucumber slices instead of peanut butter, wake up after 9 a.m. and have date night at that new restaurant while wearing that outfit you finally removed the tags from.
Make your husband, your children and your mailman happy, but most importantly – make yourself happy because it’s your day and you deserve something different.
