Dear reader: Ah, yes, the glory of the family. How we all wish to have the time to take care of their needs and ours. Unfortunately, that isn't always the way it goes....
Monday
"Thank God they're gone," she thought to herself. Marie had been feeling unsettled and extremely horny since the previous night's unproductive encounter with her husband. Now that her kids were on the bus, and her husband had left for work, she had an hour to herself before she had to leave for work herself.
Racing up the stairs, dodging Elmo, the cat, she darted for the bedroom. Diving onto the bed and reaching for the drawer in her nightstand, she wriggled out of her sweats, preparing to gain the release she so desperately needed. Settling back, she conjured up an image of her next door neighbor. A former athlete, he was still fit and trim, even at forty. She watched him sometimes, furtively, as he changed the oil in his car; shirtless. That was the picture she wanted right now. Fixated on the image in her mind, she reached down, touching the throbbing rawness between her legs. Rubbing gently, but firmly, she started to feel the tension rise in an area far from her shoulders. "Almost there," she thought. Faster and faster she circled and massaged; closer and closer she came to that inevitable moment of ecstasy. She saw the crest coming toward her, slowly but surely, a few more seconds, a few more manipulations and.... Fucking cat! Elmo jumped on the bed, purring and rubbing against her. She crashed back to earth, annoyed. Marie looked at the clock. "Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck," she said, rising to hop in the shower to get ready for work.
Tuesday
Marie's husband drove the kids to school this morning, which meant they left late. She still had time to try to give herself a little relief. Yesterday had been so frustrating, and she had been cranky all day. No time to waste this morning, she grabbed her vibrator, cranked it up all the way, and went to work. In and out, up and down, around and around and around. "Okay, here we go," she thought, amping up higher and higher. There it was, right before her. All she needed was a few more seconds and then relief. Almost, almost... Doorbell. "I'll ignore it," she thought, although she felt desire waning. Doorbell again.
"Marie, Avez-vous vu mon chien?" Marie, have you seen my dog? Oh my God, it was the goddamn senile old lady from across the street. "Je ne peux pas trouver mon chien!" I can not find my dog. She gave up, throwing her sweat pants on, to go help find the dog.
