It ain't just the Pill!

I've seen this on a couple other blogs out there, and now I've read an article about the Pill being linked to a loss of sex drive.

Yeah, well buddy, there are more reasons than the BC Pill. Try a smelly husband. You know what I mean, that specimen of man who, having a couple days off from work, spends his energies doing those things around the house that need to get done, but doesn't take 10 minutes or so to shower and shave. They then jump into bed with you at night, lookin' for love, and smelling like a barn and scratching you with whiskers. I don't know about you, but that does not melt my butter.

And let's not forget the children, those sweet little results of all that lovin'. Do I really need to to go into the ways they drain any kind of energy from us?

I'd like to take a moment here to salute those mothers who work outside the home. I couldn't do it, really, I could not, and I have nothing but respect for those women who do. I know when my mom got home from work she fell asleep on the couch within an hour of walking in the door...

Folks, I'm not even on the Pill and I have no desire whatsoever for nookie. I love my husband, but please, by the time the younglings have been tucked in I barely have the energy to brush my teeth! And it's hard to feel desirable when I think of myself as a Hefty bag with limbs.

You know what this is, don't you? It's just another thing to blame Bush for. See, he's "in bed" (ha ha) with the big drug companies...somehow, some way this will all be Bush's fault. You wait and see.

Seriously, though, let's not just blame the Pill here.
