Dear Cupid -- Writing Project

Dear Cupid:

I heard you can do things. You know ... create a spark of love between a couple people. I realize my turn has come and gone and you did a rocking good job. I'm in a wonderful marriage filled with joy and peace and all that.

But, I gotta say that perhaps you should take some adult enrichment courses directed to folks in your profession.

You see, there's a lot of women like me who need a special kind of help. The ones like me who after a whole day of holding clingy toddlers who sometimes feel the need to fight over my lap, I'm not feeling much in the way of LOVE.

I'm not trying to offend you in any way, but I do think that since we can all improve on some things, perhaps you can improve on helping tired moms feel less tired and more interested in displaying love and affection to their husbands.

If you have any ideas, just send them my way.

But, send me an e-mail first because I'll need to check my calendar for any conflicting doctors appointments, writing deadlines and playgroups. Before I can check that, though, I have to run to the grocery store. But, before I can do that, I have to write my grocery list.

But, before I write the list, I will need to write out the meals for the week. But, before I do that I'll need to find some good, cheap recipes for the week. And, as I reach for the recipe box, I realize that SAID toddlers had worked together peacefully for once to kindly remove each recipe from the box so I have to reorganize.

By the time I get organized, SAID toddlers have started to ransack another room. Next thing you know it's 8:07 p.m. and who feels like creating meal plans or gathering coupons at 8:07 p.m.? I'm too busy thinking about how I didn't get around to showering today or exfoliating my lips or anything else for ME.

But, really, send that arrow message my way, anyway. I'll do my best this week to demonstrate my LOVE to all that are around me.

You know 'cause I do not do this nearly enough each day.

Sincerely,

Tired Mama
