In Honor of Valentine's Day, Here's Your Annual Sex Post

Everybody does it, but nobody wants to admit they do it.  Okay, maybe some might discuss their sex lives with close friends, or possibly on the internet.  But usually, that's where it ends.

Think how much easier sex would be if you could just say, "Hey (Roommate, Son, Daughter, Other Relative, Guest, Etc.), could you maybe disappear for a while?  I'm about to get some action!"

Nothing brings this to mind more than when we are on a family vacation.  After about five days, I begin to get distracted, if you-know-what-I-mean.  Sometimes, we are fortunate to get a suite with a separate bedroom.  The kids don't think twice about mom and dad shutting the bedroom door, just like at home.  You just need to be quieter than usual or tell the kids they can watch TV with the volume up for another hour before lights out.

On our last vacation, we had no such luck.  It was mostly rooms with rollaways.  Even the suites were just big rooms with pull-out sofas.  After eight days, I was getting a little frustrated.  At least I had Vegas to look forward to.  We had booked two rooms.

Well, we get to Vegas and Husband and I realize we hadn't really thought this through.  First, the rooms were not connected, nor beside each other.  I wasn't really thrilled with my kids (even at their ages) being in a hotel in Vegas alone.  The other situation was there being 4 double beds for 5 people.  If Husband and I took one room, we'd have an extra bed nobody was using.  Not really a big deal, but for 3 nights, it sort of seemed wasteful.  Plus, there was the whole teenage son who needs a ridiculous amount of privacy being cooped up with his two sisters, who are also bathroom hogs in their own right (though I swear, not as bad as him!)

We opted to go boys/girls and split the rooms.  I gave Husband a look, meaning we'd talk later.  I wasn't about to spend 4 days in Sin City without any F.U.N.

We managed to have our fun...........that night, we told the kids they needed to stay in one room and watch TV while we went down to the casino to gamble.  I made a show of getting dressed in gambling night attire and we left the room, heading right for the elevators, only to double back and tiptoe past their room on our way to the other room.  And I do mean tiptoe........those halls are long and everything echoes (see photo).

When we returned to the kids' room, I told them Dad won big!
Happy Valentine's Day to all my blogger friends!
