Years ago, my lovely mother-in-law shared a gem of wife wisdom with me over multiple beers around a fire.  

“Men want two things – food and sex.”

I tried not to fall out of my camping chair when she shared this twinkle treasure of truth, as one doesn’t generally expect such a woman-to-woman tip from the mother of your Fuzzy Hubbs.

This twinkle treasure has served me well.  Keep him fed with food.  Keep him fed in bed.  Keep him and you happy.  And keep active and giddy up every day to keep your bod hot for all that hot lovin’.

Years ago, my own lovely mother shared a gem of mama must-haves over one of our multiple daily phone conversations.  

“Sleep is the best cure.”

I tried not to chuck my phone against the wall in a (super tired) stupor of fury when she shared this twinkle treasure of truth, as one doesn’t generally want such a mom-to-mom tip from your own mother.  

I know now, my mom was/is right.  Sleep IS the best cure.  Sleep has demonstrated effectiveness in curing the
following ailments:

-generalized crankiness
-generalized mild to wicked wacky wild mood swings
-generalized spats with your lover, mother, or any other
-generalized disgust for life
-generalized disgust for your own children
-generalized awfulness

Feeling that way ain’t good for anyone.  And it sucks you in and makes you suck.  Be bigger and better than all that fucking sucking.

So from my moms to you:

1.)    Go eat something good.
2.)   Get laid.
3.)   Go the fuck to sleep.
