Silly Mom Thoughts

What do you think of, when you think of a truly sexy man?

Rock hard abs?

Chiseled thighs?

Arms that could scoop you up in one fell swoop?

If so, my guess is that you aren’t a mother to small children. Sure, muscles and definition are great, but a complete waste if they aren’t being used for important things, like lugging loads of laundry up the stairs or carrying children around piggy-back.

Last night was one of those, “Damn, you are the sexiest man alive” moments between Turk and me. He came home from work, we sat down and had a nice dinner, all the while I was still in my pajamas. My slovenly attire didn’t really occur to me until he asked, “Did you guys go anywhere today?” I looked down at my worn sweatpants stained with paint from a project last summer and my sweatshirt caked with Bean’s snot. “Nope, we didn’t go anywhere.”

After dinner, I asked Turk if he would mind if I took a shower and he told me he didn’t.

In preparing for the shower, I decided that I hadn’t soaked in a bath in quite a while and that sure sounded nice. Fully aware that the kids would absolutely flip their lids seeing a bubble bath being drawn that they weren’t going to take part in, I decided to take the risk. I cleaned out all the toys, wiped it down with a Clorox cleaner wipe, grabbed our shower radio, and filled up the tub. Sure enough, the kids absolutely freaked out.

Before I locked the bathroom door and turned up the music, I smiled at Turk. He was gathering up the kids for a rousing game of “run from Daddy who is making insanely loud monkey noises.”

My bath wasn’t exactly the most relaxing, what with all the commotion in the background of the kids squealing with joy and Turk’s monkey call of “Oooh-oooh-aaaaaaaaah!” in the hallway. But, the kids were happy and I was in a nice, warm, kid-free bathtub (well kid-free, aside from the one I’m toting around for the next eight months).

Later that night, he did the dishes.

Seriously, could this man get any sexier?

Now tell me, which man would you rather have: Hairless model man that looks (and probably acts) more like a chick than a guy, or cute, blue-eyed Turk who is such a man, he’s not afraid to be a good Dad and husband?

I rest my case.
