Hi Dr Laura,

I am a busy mum of 18-month-old twins who are currently napping! It's been a long and tiring 18 months. My husband and I have both been doing our best to take care of business, but after having a ridiculous argument with my beloved husband yesterday, I suddenly thought of you and realized I wasn't taking care of my husband or myself. I have allowed the kids, laundry, housework, and our home business to consume my waking hours leaving little or no time for us. I realized I was starting to sound like one of those punitive, bitchy wives you talk about on your show, and I didn't like it. So, late last night, I snuck out to the drug store to pick up some condoms - the twins are enough for now.  This morning, I got up early, did my make-up, put on a padded bra and a cute sparkly top! I installed the kids in the living room with their milk bottles and "Sesame Street" and then I "took care" of my man! After 10 minutes, not only did neither of us feel stressed, but I actually felt sexy and bonded to my man. A few hours later, he sent me a cute text and now I'm excited to surprise him with quickie number two!

So ladies, much as you may hate to admit it, Dr. Laura is absolutely right! Today, regardless of how "busy" you are, you need to take 10 minutes.  Screw the laundry, screw the dishes, but definitely go *ahem* (screw) your husband!

Thanks for the reminder! I really needed it!
