Summer

Summer has been crazy busy.  Our dog, Sadie, got her leg surgery.  It was actually 4 grand and not 2. Still, it was worth it.  She is doing great.  I am glad we did it.  It was stressful the first 10 days because we had to keep her from doing anything.  She's such a happy go-lucky dog that she didn't even seemed fazed by the whole thing.  She still tried to jump up when the doorbell rang.  

So I have about 2 weeks left before my son leaves for college.  He's going to be 16 hours away from us.  We are driving up there with him and then we, Bossman and I, are going to take the long way back for a little road trip vacation.

This summer has been filled with watching my son and husband surf.  Weekend trips to see my daughter and just hanging out.  It's been great.

I know most parents are sad when their kids leave for college, but I'm actually excited.  Remember, he's already been going to a boarding school.  I'm used to him being away.  I'm not used to him being THIS far way, but I am already used to it.  I love having him home but I do like it when he's gone.  There is a lot less cooking and cleaning and laundry.  You KNOW how I love laundry!!!

One thing I've been thinking a lot about is spanking.  Nothing has been happening here, boo hoo, but maybe there is a possibility after the boy leaves.  It's fun to think about but I sure home I don't get disappointed.  I guess I should start dropping some hints.  Any suggestions?

That's it for now, what's up in your world?

    Hi! So glad you had a lovely summer. We had a nice summer too and while I am sad to see it go I am also ready to return to routines. As for helpful hints...it's going on 7 months here without even a love tap to brag about so I'm probably not the one to ask. But I do hope that with your empty nest it inspires some wonderful spankings for you! :-) Hugs

    I do understand about how you get used to the kids being gone, miss them, but I like having my life back the way I'm used to. As for spanking, using Annie T's idea of having a 'list' I do something he says, "put it on your list", I have to keep it on my phone. Then in his own time he'll tell me it's time to clear the list. I got a deferment this weekend because I have a bad cold - but now I have to come to him with an 'appropriate' implement some time soon and ask him if he has time to take care of things. Talk about something hanging over your head.

    Glad the dog is doing well!

    Happy to hear your pup is doing well, Grace. I'm used to my kids being gone and do miss them but also enjoy the privacy. Do like when they are not half way across the country like my oldest is! :) Hope you get some spanking in soon.

    Hugs and blessings...Cat
