I am clearly off to a shaky blogging comeback. I was really hoping I would feel inspired to write, but I have nothing to write about. Life is pretty ordinary, but in a nice, easy way. We have fallen into a routine around here but sometimes I'm starting to think things are a little too comfortable.
Last week I bought myself a couple of nightgowns. NIGHTGOWNS. In my ripe old age of 32 I've decided that shorts and pants are too bunchy and uncomfortable to sleep in, sleeping naked clearly doesn't work when small children sneak into my bed every single night, and I'm up too often at night to be walking around the house in just my underwear and a shirt. So obviously I was left with no choices. Nightgowns are definitely not sexy, but man they are comfortable. Other things I have found myself doing lately that really drain the sexy out of my relationship: calling Andy "Daddy", telling him when I need to go "potty", talking in a weird Russian accent and referring to myself as Dr. Zhivago, and buying some "sexy" underwear only to immediately hate them and return to my old woman Hanes. So yeah, a little too comfortable. While it's nice to have a routine and be in my comfort zone, I really need to make an effort to push myself a bit more. Try new things. Do something spontaneous instead of being such a nerdy planner. Stop telling Andy when I need to go potty. Stop saying the word "potty" entirely when it involves an adult using the bathroom. But I'm totally not giving up the nightgowns.

Too Funny! Sexy is pretty much out of our relationship too, kinda sad but I think that is just something that happens over time when you become so comfortable with your spouse and after kids enter the picture! I have not tried nightgowns yet though... I just feel like I would get to twisted up in them and probably freak out. I am still in the underwear and tanktop or Tshirt stage but I am guessing that will have to stop soon as Colton is getting too old to see that (which he rarely does as I am up before him and he doesn't wake up during the night very often)!
Let me know if you think of some fun ways to add sexy back into your life, I am sure my husband wouldn't mind if I did the same :)
LOLOL. I loved this so much. And can majorly relate.
I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of comfortable, yet sexy nightgowns out there, so that would be my advice. But yeah, screw the sexy underwear.
I also hear you on the routine becoming a little too comfortable. It's like what they say about improving your sex life. The first step is to just have more sex. Force yourself to do it, and you will want to do it more. I actually can attest to that advice.
I have an unfortunate habit of telling Dan WAY too much information about my #2-s. Or when I have a tummy ache because of some sort of #2 blockage. He does it to me too. BAD. We need to stop this, because honestly? YUCK.
I hope you can start blogging more, but I completely understand. My blog is a boring-ville wasteland right now. I don't know why, but I just feel lame and boring and I try to do things like recap weekends or post pics but then it all ends up feeling boring, so I never post. Blergh.
This made me laugh. And can totally relate to the routine and life getting a bit too comfortable. In some ways the comfort is awesome, and I love my little life, but other things go to the wayside that would be nice to have back like when we were newlyweds. Stopping saying potty to Andy sounds like a good start. :)
I have one nightgown, and actually really like it. But more often than not, I sleep in a tank top and underwear as it allows me to twist and turn in my sleep without getting all bunched up. I'm super weird with my sleeping.
Glad to see you blogging. Even if you felt you had nothing to write about, look how fun this post turned out to be! Sometimes I try to forget other readers and just blog about stuff that I want to remember, not caring if it would be interesting to anyone else reading. And more often than not, other people find my life more interesting than I do. :)
