Somehow I was extra productive yesterday. I'm not sure why. I've had a hard time getting motivated since I went to Alabama (the only State that has a statue in the middle of town honoring a BUG) but yesterday, I got moving right away.

(dont' worry we are getting to the sex ) So it's Saturday morning, I'm determined to get a handle on the housecleaning so I let my two kids watch Saturday morning cartoons and I head off to clean the kitchen. As I walk through the living room to take the trash out, my son (curled up on the couch with a blanket) says, "Mom, will you cuddle me?"
