Please, Mr University Professor Man

My husband is studying his MBA, which means he has Uni one evening a week, and 2 assignments or exams every 8 weeks.  Put this on top of full time work and you've got a pretty heavy workload.  Somehow, we manage to co-ordinate play, work, study, and normal everyday stuff so nothing gets in the way of anything else (too much).  We've also been super lucky so far that nothing has ever got in the way of the prime baby making time.  You always see on movies and read in books, a woman taking her temperature in the middle of the day and calling her husband to say "it's time... you have to come home right now so we can make a baby!"  Well, it doesn't quite work like that.  There is an optimal time, but it's the 4 days or so in the lead up to ovulation - which you don't know when will happen until after the event.  So it's a bit of  a tricky science, and involves some intuition, research, estimated guessing and sign reading.  But you can usually pretty much identify a week or so that is super important in the baby making stakes.

It happened to be this super important baby making week for us, that my husband was scheduled an assignment - to be completed in 5 days (exactly the baby making window).  So there was my poor husband, heading to work in the morning, then studying til late at night each evening, then needing to 'perform' when all he wanted to do was fall into bed and disappear into a coma like state of deep sleep.  I think we still managed pretty well, but we'd prefer not to have this sort of pressure on us again.

So please, Mr University Professor Man - talk to me first before setting dates for your assignments.
