Bedroom Conversations.
It's late. It's dark. I slip my legs under the cotton sheets, the overhead fan swirls the summer air all around me. Outside I hear the lullabies of crickets and coyotes.
The Mr. is next to me, arm reached out and I snuggle in for a restful sleep. Before I drift off, he sweetly says to me:
"Thanks for washing my gear."
I smile. "You're welcome. It was gross. I had to wash it twice. Oh, I talked to the contractor about the addition today. And did I tell you..."
...and we continue talking about pricing, schedules, and next steps.
"Did you run that square payment?" I whisper back.
"No, I forgot. Too busy today."
...and we keep talking about money and plans and savings and budgeting.
"Are you home all week, or are you traveling?" I slowly ask, eyes getting heavy.
"Yes. No. Well, I'm not sure. Let's compare calendars tomorrow. Are you?"
"I think..."
Together, we drift off to dreamland.
Bedtime conversations at Lancaster Land are too often business meetings. The Mr. is the CEO of Lancaster Land. He's the idea guy, and oversees something he calls "organizational morale" - which means he keeps me sane, calm and ensures fun is to be had especially when stress runs high. I am the CFO, which is a really hard job around here.
I find myself juggling my full time job (which I'm so thankful for and love so much), figuring out how to be a mom every day and hopefully doing it well, keeping Lancaster Land running and financially safe, while at the same time enjoying the heck out of all of it.
Relationships sometimes mean that the boxes are checked off of your to-do-lists and that the life you're living is a responsible and productive one, and most importantly, that you're doing it together. Business and romance can coexist, even in the bedroom.
