Should you schedule an appointment for you know what?

Life is busy...work, kids, kids' sports, the things you have to do & the things you want to do...there never seems to be enough hours in the day! In my house, October has been an especially busy month...ugh! You parents know that's it's really hard to get some "alone time" with you sweetie, but I keep reading in the parents magazines, and saw it on The Nate Show the other day, that you have to have some alone time regularly in order to stay connected to each other and not lose your bond. I agree. But, I think it's easier said then done. Last night at around 11pm, exhausted, I went into the bathroom to get ready for bed and John had just gotten out of the shower....he looked HOT! Yes, he does still make me feel giddy...especially when he's naked! LOL! We both looked at each other and said, "If it weren't 11pm...(and my alarm goes off at 4:45am)" But, agreed to make some time for some "alone time" tonight...earlier...so we could get to bed at a decent time...you know, after the kids are fed, bathed, read to, put to bed, lunches made for the next day, the house picked up after the day of chaos, the latest hwood gossip researched, email checked, etc. I'm sure you've got the same stuff going on at your house!

Here's my question...should we be scheduling "alone time" or is that killing the spontaneity of the romance? I'm thinking it's necessary sometimes! Remember, we have a 1 yr old & a 5 yr old who, along with our jobs, keep us extremely busy & leave us very tired...haha!

Be honest! I know there are a lot of you who can probably relate to us!
