So this weekend was actually quite fun. We went out to eat as an office on Saturday night and then we watched part of the Jazz game, which they won, so it was a fun evening. Sunday after church we had a barbecue with the sales reps and technicians to allow everyone to get to know each other so that was good. Then we played volleyball at a park right next to our apartment complex and spent some time with friends playing games. Mr. Muscles has been kind of frustrated because he has had some cancels and failed credits. He is still doing very well, but I am sure the job gets hard at times. Today I have spent almost 5 hours working on paperwork to get it all sent in to the office in Utah and I am kind of nervous because as the summer goes on I will have this much paperwork most days if not more. The job is supposed to only be 20 hours each week, but because of the other things to take care of it takes a lot more. o/well someone has to do it so I guess it is me. At least it keeps me busy while Mr. Muscles is gone. Lately it has been hard because some nights when Mr. Muscles gets home he would like to go play video games or basketball with the single guys so I either go with him and hang out with all of the single guys or I stay home. I know he needs a release, but I guess after having him gone all day I want to spend some time with him. I know most of you deal with this often or all the time so any suggestions or things you have done to work around this problem?

It only gets worse whe you ahve kids. you want to spend time with your husband and have a break from the kids. and most nights neither happends. The only suggestion I have is to let him do go 1 or 2 times a week and then the others with you. So that way you both are getting what you want. Or invite them to your house so you can be with them to. IF you figure out the secret let me know. I guess you could alwasy plan a girls night while he doing a guys night. maybe if we lived closer we could go out and have some fun.:)

I've never had to deal with that problem, so I don't know what to say...
Ha ha ha. Especially since you don't have kids you need to take advantage of that NOW! Make him take you out on a real date at least once a week and that might help. That way you get one on one time and if you can leave your cell phones at home (or if you have withdrawals at least leave it in the car, it's your time don't let it get interrupted if it is a call from your mother or friend, they can wait. If you're like me sometimes you need your time to unwind to and I'd rather just spend it with the hubby then with friends and trying to be entertaining like I feel I have to at times. So I agree with da mama, decide on a number of times per week that each of you can agree on an maybe talk to mr. muscles about what the two of you can do together to help him unwind.
