I hadn't thought about the fact that I lost him when I was a child. That is exactly right. So I've already mourned losing him. I'm sad that he died. I mean, he was a human being and it's sad when someone dies, but I am not losing my father....I already lost him.
Things will be fine between my sister and I. She has always been the drama queen in the family, so putting all her drama on facebook is what she does. I'm used to it. I seriously thought I would find out that he died on facebook, so at least she texted me. I should know better than to expect an actual call from her, that is not her style. I still think it's crap that people do so many things over texting. Giving bad news, breaking up with someone, inviting someone to birthday party.....it seems these are all acceptable texting behaviours. I don't like it!
So, new topic!
Most of you know, I live on the West Coast. Most of the time, we have fine weather. Usually, 70's. Last week, 91. This weekend, 58. Sheez, Mother Nature needs to make up her mind already! Of course, this is the first time since probably April that we've turned on the heater and guess what....it didn't work. Now I am not going to complain...because what about the people in New Jersey that haven't had power for 2 weeks? I feel so so bad for them because just going two days without a heater was horrible. But I am a survivor....so you know, I toughed it out. Actually, we bought a portable heater...LOL Don't worry though, the heater got fixed today, but the weather is back up to 75, so all is warm in my world.
Lastly, lets talk about the empty nest.
It's so good! Of course I miss the kids, but MAN, it's nice to know that when I buy some food it will still be in the fridge when I want to eat it! When there is a mess that is made, I know that it was either me or Bossman. The sink doesn't fill with dishes five minutes after you wash them. I'm telling you, this is great! I only have to do 3 loads of laundry a week. A WEEK!!!! How cool is that?
I'm sure you are wondering, what about the spanking? I figured we'd be at it all the time. I figured there would be a lot more sex too. HA! I figured wrong!
I suppose there is more sex. I mean, we don't have to time it for early morning anymore. We don't have to worry about someone hearing us, so that's a good thing. The spanking? Well the spanking isn't going that well. We've had lots of talk about it, but then it just doesn't seem to come up that much. There is a tad more than usual, but nothing really to write about.
I think I should tell Bossman I'm blogging again so he can start spanking more then I will have something to write about....in my spanking blog....in which I don't talk about spanking anymore! HA!

I bet you're as surprise as I was at how much I like the empty nest. I felt slightly guilty at first about liking it, but the kids are happy - why shouldn't I be?
ReplyDeleteNow about the spanking. We don't do as much as I want either. But I do have a solution for you, post Bossman's email. Let us talk to him. I'm pretty sure you have all the spanking you can handle!
Hugs,

Ain't life grand when you're down to two. Wait for the chaos though when he comes back home and beleive me it won't be the same as when he left.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing to make you appreciate the empty nest more. than when they return for a few month.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot imagine what they eat, what they make dirty and what they leave lying around.
It's indeed time that Bossman goes to work.
I like my empty nest, but my daughter is so close by, she can still drop by unexpectedly. She lives within 3 minutes away, and works about a minute a way. I tried to warn her, that we may be doing stuff, she doesn't like to see, if she just unlocks the door and walks in. She just covers her ears and tells me she doesn't want to know...lalalalala. lol. I know what you mean about the food, but that happens with my husband also. I'll buy something for a recipe, and then when I start to make the recipe, I'm missing an ingredient. I sometime announce "do not eat the "whatever", it's for a recipe. Anyway enjoy your empty nest. You deserve your freedom, after raising children. God Bless You and all you love, Belle L.
