No sympathy!

I can see that there isn't much sympathy for me and my TWO rules.

~sigh~

Didn't you know I was a princess?  I'm suppose to have servants to do all the manual labor.  I'm suppose to be able to sit around and eat bon-bons and watch soap operas on TV.  I should NOT have to do the laundry and pick up dog hair!  I also wash the dishes....and that's not even a RULE!  Of course I have a dish washer...but still, rinsing dishes and putting them in the washer?  It's hard work I tell ya!

It's just not fair.....nope, not fair at all.

In other news, I don't have to babysit on Friday.  That could mean some time with Bossman without Aunt Flo getting in the way.  We'll have to see how that works out.  I've learned never to get my hopes up until it actually happens...

Guess I should get that laundry done.  Has anyone invented disposible clothes yet?  That could really be a good idea!

I don't want you to think the weekend was a bust.  We had a great time together.  We took a drive to some old places that we used to live when the wildchild was a baby.  It was a beautiful day and we had fun just being together.

I don't know why but we don't usually spank in hotel rooms.  This weekend was no exception.  Not sure why, but it just didn't happen.  Bossman had packed the cuffs and blindfold as a surprise to me and they would have been fun, but unfortunately, I just couldn't get in the mood for it.  That usually happens when I'm on my period, so it's not a surprise.  There was a hot tub in the room which we used.  That was nice and romantic.  We talked about life.  We talked about how far we've come in life.  It's amazing how life is now.

Yesterday Bossman came home to give me a spanking.  I've already broken the rule.  Geez, I only have ONE rule, you'd think it wouldn't be that hard to keep.  Friday was just so busy that I didn't do the laundry. 

Ok, I admit....I didn't really think he'd notice.  We were leaving that evening, so I didn't really think he'd care if the laundry load wasn't done.  But he did notice and he did follow through.  I can hardly believe it. 

So he came home yesterday and spanked me hard with his hand.  It hurt, but it wasn't too bad.  Then he had the nerve to give me another rule.  Now he wants to me make sure vacuum the dog hair once a week.

Geez, what a slave driver!!!!  I don't know if I can handle it, the laundry and vacuuming?  What is this world coming too?  Maybe it would be easier if I just went out and got a job?

NAH!

Well, we had good intentions and we DID have a nice time but....we just couldn't do all the things we would have liked to do because well, you know, stupid period! 

We did have some romantic time.  We also spent quite a bit of time just laying in bed touching each other.  It wasn't exactly what either of us had in mind but that's life.  After 22 years, we know that even the best laid plans can fall apart.

So, how was YOUR weekend?

Warning, cheesy post alert!

Dear Bossman,

I can't believe that I was blessed with you.  I don't know what I did to deserve someone like you.  Actually, I didn't do anything and I don't deserve you.  I can't believe 22 years have gone by already. 

Do you realize we have a adult daughter?  I KNOW....how did THAT happen?  We've been through a lot and last year was the worst.  I don't know how I would have done it without you.  You have been my rock and my support.

Thank you for always being here for me.  I love you now more than ever!

Happy Anniversary!

Bad luck!

Warning: If you are a man and don't want to hear about my period....you might want to skip this post.

Wouldn't you know that the day before we are suppose to celebrate our anniversary in a hotel room....I start my period! 

~sigh~

Since I started taking medication to keep the hormones away from the girls, my period has be sketchy.  I've been as regular as a girl can be my whole life and NOW.....now I never know when or if I'll get a period.

I've been getting one, but they are usually every 6 weeks or so now.  Which, by the way, freaks the HELL out of me!  I keep thinking I'm preggers...GAH!  But I didn't get one in January, at all.  Then I got one in Feb.  I thought it would be awhile for the next one to hit but NO...it's right-on-time!  Stupid period!

I guess we can still try the anal.  I'm hoping this will be the month that my period is really short and will be over in a day.  HA!

A girl can hope, right?

tushy tamer

The closet is finished!  Other than a mirror that needs to be hung up the closet is done and so that means I found the lube!

The lube was called...Tushy Tamer. 

I LOVE that name....LOL  But we didn't really like the lube itself. 

See, I never really read the tube.  Bossman bought it.  It was in the bag when we got home and then we used it the same day but I never looked at it. 

Here's the product description straight from Amazon.....

Product Description

Ease into comfort with this incredible anal desensitizing cream. Perfect for beginners to anal play, this specially formulated lotion gently numbs and desensitizes the rectal area, making the experience more comfortable and enjoyable for both partners.
 
I didn't know tht it was a desensitizing cream.  It didn't seem to desensitize anything!!!!!!!  Well, since I'm not that familiar with anal maybe it DID desensitize and I just didn't know it.  GAH! 
 
Also, Bossman didn't think it was slippery enough.  So I wouldn't recommend the tushy tamer. 
 
I'm just sayin'.....
 
I think I'll try some of the other lubes that have been recommended.  The tushy tamer did not tame my tushy, at all!

2nd post this week

So, yesterday concluded the week long spanking experiment.  I know, it wasn't exactly a week, due to the day we missed and the weekend, but Bossman wanted to see it through.  Today my son has a half day of school, so there won't be a spanking today anyway.

Yesterdays spanking was OUCHY!  He used the wooden spoon that PK gave us.  Wow, very stingy.  While spanking he told me he wanted to start off with one thing that he wanted me to do everyday.  Of course this involved laundry!  If you've been reading here for any length of time, you will know how much I hate laundry.  So, he just wants me to keep the hamper empty.  We just redid our closet and it looks so nice he doesn't want laundry to mess things up.

Well, I thought this was just too much!  Of course I had to be practical and try and tell him how that wasn't going to work out. 

A word of advice......don't back talk someone holding a wooden spoon.. 

He had already finished the spanking.  My pants were already back in their place.  But he decided that I was being to mouthy and pulled me straight back over his knee for a dose of the backscratcher!  OUCH!

Here's the thing.  I totally see his point.  Whenever he says something, I ALWAYS have a counter point.  I can never just go with what he says.  I always have to have the last word.

So, I'm working on that.  And meanwhile, my butt is very sore today! 

I think I mentioned a hotel this weekend.....well, it's a go!  I better get some K-Y before the weekend!!!

See ya tomorrow!

spanked daily

I haven't been ignoring you all, I promise!  I've just been extremely busy! 

Let's just get right to the subject.  Was I spanked everyday last week?

Believe it or not.....almost!

Bossman came home every day and spanked me.  Every day except Thursday.  He came home, but we had some errands to run and by the time we got back we didn't have time.  Which was quite all right with me because....OMG, you guys.....those spankings hurt!  By the end of the week my butt was really sore.

Bossman said maybe I should post a picture everyday of the implement that he used. 

Now that we've made it a week, he's said that was just an introductory week, getting my butt used to being spanked.  He said now we would just spank on a need-to-spank schedule.  Meaning, if he thinks I need it....he'll do it.

As for the anal, we haven't tried it again.  But, we've talked about it.  We are thinking of spending the weekend in a hotel room for our anniversary....so I'm guessing we may try anal again!  I hope so.

I do have a question, and if you've already told me this in a comment, I'm sorry, I'm just to lazy to go back and see what you said.....the question is...

What kind of lube is the best for anal? 

I'd tell you the kind we used, but I can't find it at the moment.  I know what you're thinking....How do you lose your lube?  Well, we are in the process of redoing our walk-in-closet and everything is scattered everywhere throughout the house.  Don't worry...we didn't leave the lube out to tramatize the little man further....but Bossman put the lube somewhere safe and I forgot to ask him where he put it.  So, once I find it again, I'll tell you what kind it was.  Frankly, I don't think it was that good.  I don't think it was slippery enough.

That's what's going on here.  I really need to get better at posting more often.  I think I'll try posting everyday this week.  Can I possibly think of something to write about every day?  If I'm getting spanked, the answer is YES!

So, how was YOUR weekend?

Written while ignoring laundry by::

anal angst

There hasn't been much action around here lately.  We've been waiting for the dust to settle before trying anything when there are kids home. 

Yesterday, the kids weren't home!!!!!  The wildchild took the little man to Disneyland.  (I really should stop calling them those names as they don't really fit anymore.  The wildchild isn't quite as wild and the little man...well he's not so little any more.)

Anyway, the kids weren't home the entire day!  WHOO HOO!  Since they left at 5 in the morning, I bet you can guess what we did as soon as they left!

We went back to sleep...

But when we woke up.....we made up for lost time and got right to business.

After a nice round of sex, we headed out the door for some breakfast.  I love going out for breakfast.  How do those resturants get the pancakes so perfect?

After breakfast we went shopping.  We bought dressers, we bought new sheets for our bed.  (king size sheets for 9.99 a SET?  That was a deal!)  We bought a new body pillow and some shirts and jackets for Bossman and odds and ends that I found on sale at Target.  We hit the mall, target, wally world, tj maxx and then I was POOPED!

After spending all our money, we headed home to watch the nascar race.  Bossman's favorite driver won!!!  I will admit that I didn't watch it that much.  In between reading and watching the race, I decided to color my hair.  I'm normally a blond, but I went a little dark.  Carmel brown to be exact.  I thought I liked it, but my daughter didn't say anything about it...so I wondered what was up with that because she's the first to mention my hair....when I mentioned it...she said she thought it was just oily and dirty.  Not exactly the response I was hoping for....

Bossman assures me that the wildchild was just tired and my hair looks really nice.

Anyway, after I dyed my hair, I entered the living room in just my robe.  I wanted to show Bossman my hair but I had things under my robe I wanted to show him too!

Well, I showed him.  Actually, he showed me.  He showed me straight to the bedroom where, would you believe, he had the gall to bring out the hairbrush and NO, it wasn't for brushing my hair!  During the spanking he got it in his head that I needed more spankings.  I don't know where he gets these ideas!  I am always such a perfect angel that this notion of needing more spankings was shocking!  But he said he wasn't happy with my performance around the house.  He feels I waste a lot of time on the computer.  Again...I have NO idea where he comes up with this stuff.  So, he said he's coming home everyday before the little man gets out of school to spank me.  That's right...he's coming home everyday to spank me.  I asked about work and he said he's just going to have to put me and my butt into his schedule if he wants things done better around here.

After the spanking things got better.  We decided it was the perfect oportunity to try anal.  While at the mall, earlier in the day, we had bought some lube.  From the mall.  I know, that sounds weird, but we have a store in our mall called Spencers and they have all kinds of sexy stuff.  I had never been in there and I was APPALLED that there were small children in there.  Some with parents!  I'm telling you, this is not a store for young kids.  I heard one boy tell another...."Oh, you should get that shirt".  The shirt said, I love my mom but she's a bitch.  GAH!  I'm sorry if this makes me a prude, but I was very uncomfortable in that store already and then to have little kids in there....well it was too much for me.  Bossman made the purchase though....

Anyway, back to the anal.  Bossman decided that since I was already over his knee, why not try the new lube with his finger.  I was a nervous wreck, but thanks to all of you and your advice, I tried to stay really relaxed.  I must say, the finger was nice.  It felt really good.

We did that for awhile and then we decided to try the real thing...if you know what I mean. 

The real thing?  Not so fun.  I mean, it was kind of fun, but it was really uncomfortable.  Bossman was very slow and gentle and I tried to relax and we managed for a little bit, but I finally gave up. 

I'm not giving up on anal, but I just need to get used to it.  I told Bossman that I wasn't going to give up and I hoped that we would try again and he was happy about that.

So that was it for the first time.  I think it went ok.

Now I better get moving, I have an appointment with Bossman and I want to make the house look nice so he goes easy on me......

caught again!

You must think Bossman  and I have sex all the time!

We don't.

But the little man thinks we do.

Saturday morning, ( a week after the first incident)  Bossman and I woke up early.  We laid in bed talking and snuggling and all the stuff that couples do in bed.  We were VERY worried about the little man hearing us, so we didn't go to far.

Well, we weren't planning on going to far.

But then we started touching and stuff.

We were so quiet.....and we only tried it for a few seconds before we realized that it wasn't really going to work, so we stopped.

Then we got up to start the day.

The little man was in a bad mood and finally spilled the beans and said he heard us....AGAIN!

Now, honestly, I don't see how he heard anything.  Frankly, when we were actually "doing it" we were super quiet.  Also, we didn't do it for very long because we didn't want to be heard.  So, I THINK he just heard us talking and giggling and stuff.

He was quite mad!  He says he KNOWS exactly what was going on.

Now seriously, unless he had a glass to the wall, I can't believe he heard.

Anyway, I thinking of joining a monestary now.

This is a big problem.  NOW, I want sex!  Before, it didn't really matter.  I mean, of course in mattered  but in the grand scheme of things, I could wait and not worry about it.  NOW?  Now I want it!  It's the ole' problem of not wanting something until someone says you can't have it.

GAH!

What the heck are we suppose to do?  The boy apparently has bionic ears and can hear things behind closed doors and walls.  Super human hearing!

Here's my ideas for solving this problem, if you have others, please share them with me.

1. Kick the boy out. 
I know that seems extreme but.....

2. Move the boy to a different bedroom.
Could be a possibility except....we just painted and decorated his whole room.

3.  Play loud music while making love.

4. Only have sex when he's not home. 

5.  Practice abstinence. 

~sigh~

And I really, really wanted to try out the anal stuff! 



Written while ignoring laundry by::

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......

How rude of me to ask you all your opinions and then ignore you for a week or two.

I should be spanked!

Anyway, thanks so much for all the comments.  Bossman and I have been reading them with interest.  Unfortunately, there hasn't been any time to try out your suggestions.  As a matter of fact, there hasn't even been time for spankings.

Also, I think Bossman and I are probably going to win the worst parents in the world award this year.

Here's what happened.

Friday evening, we were getting ready for a yard sale.  Going through closests and cabinets and pricing things. (We made over 300 on our junk...yay us!)

Bossman and I went into the bedroom and it was cold.  We were also tired.  So we laid in bed under the blankets snuggling.  We thought the little man was busy playing his video games.

Well, as with a lot of couples laying in bed snuggling, on thing led to another and well, you know.....things just happened.

I thought we were quiet and fast.  So when we were done we came out into the living room.  The little man looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, "I heard what you guys were doing and I don't want to hang out with you guys anymore."

He was VERY upset.

Bossman and I just looked at each other.  I think Bossman was very embarrassed because he didn't say anything.  NOTHING.

He just walked away.

Now, the little man didn't want to talk.  He went into his room and refused to speak to me. 

This is what I told him.

A.  We didn't do anything wrong.
B.  We are very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very sorry.
C.  We will NEVER, ever, do that again.

Then I left him to his thoughts and went back to the garage stuff.

After a cooling off time, (10 minutes) he forgave us and moved on.

Bossman said, NOTHING!

I don't know how else we could have handled things, but I do know one thing for sure....

I'm rearranging the furniture in my room so it's not against the living room wall.

~sigh~

anal anyone?

Bossman and I have been discussing anal sex.  (how's that for an opening sentence?)

So, we have tried anal before, but it was a long time ago and it didn't go very well.

I need some advice.  How should we go about trying it again?  How do we ease into the situation, so to speak?

I'll admit, I've always been fascinated by anal.  It seems to turn me on quite nicely when I'm reading about it.  But it seems that when we try it, it's not so fun.  Funny how the mind works like that.  Nothing is ever the same in real life, is it?

Bossman really seems like he's interested in trying it, and I'm curious.  So, I'm game to try it.  But I'd really like to know how to start. 

So come on Internet....help a gal out.  Tell me the best way to begin this journey.

And to all you MEN out there....Please tell me what you get out of spanking your woman.  This seems to be a theme surrounding spankings around my house.  Bossman will mention, after a spanking, so what will I get out of this one?  It's all in jest, but seriously...

So....let's just recap my questions.

1.  How should we go about trying anal?
2. MEN...what do YOU get out of spanking??

I can't wait to read the comments on this one!

Painting

I spent the weekend painting my son's bedroom.  If you all remember, we moved into this house about a year and a half ago.

We had huge plans for this house.  I mean, it's the first time we've been able to paint anything whatever color we want. 

So we promised big.  We were going to paint all the rooms and it was going to be great.

HA!

We had good intentions, but as with most things, we put it off and put it off.  Oh, we painted the master bedroom and we painted the bathroom and then, well....

Can I use the cancer card here? 

Ok, well, I'd like to use the cancer card because it sounds better than I was lazy.

But really, I was lazy!

Besides, I hate painting!  It's so messy.  It's so time consuming.  It's just NOT fun. 

Wait....the paint stirrers are fun.  If your not stirring paint.  If you use them for other things.  That's really the only fun thing I can think of about painting.

Anyway, where was I?  Oh yeah, we painted the little mans room this weekend.  It was time.  I mean this house is covered in peach paint.  PEACH people.  It's just too much!  Besides, what boy wants peach walls?

The room looks fantastic and we went a little overboard on stuff.   We decided if we were painting he should have a new comforter.  Since we were getting a new comforter, new sheets seemed to be needed also.

After all that paint, it was decided that the room needed new lamps.

Last but not least, we bought the boy a new TV. 

Like I said, WAY too much stuff was bought!

Oh well, my son is very happy and the room looks GREAT!

So, that's what I did last weekend.....

What did you do?


Written while ignoring laundry by::

Spanking question.......

Saturday is the one year anniversary of the day I found out I had cancer.  Stupid 2010!  Not my favorite year.

Anyway, I was going to write up a big post about the year.  I was going to tell you all about how I went 55 doctor appointments in the year of 2010.  I was going to tell about D's death.

But I've already written about all those things and I'm done.  I am in the mood to celebrate that I had a mammogram the other day and it was CLEAN!  According to the letter I received in the mail, my mammogram was clean of all cancer.

YAY me!

Now, let's move on...shall we?

Let's talk about the real reason we are all here. 

We want to talk about spanking.

Am I right?

Yesterday was a beautiful day in the neighborhood.  After I put my complaint in the complaint box things warmed up.  It was in the 60's and wonderful.  Bossman took the afternoon off, so we had some time to ourselves.

Yes, there was a spanking involved.
This is what he used! 

For those of you that don't remember, back in 2008 I went to LA and met up with some dear internet friends.  One of them kindly gave these "flyswatters" as gifts.  In the picture, the handle is covered only because we all signed the handles...with our real names. 

As I said in an earlier post, all of our spanking toys HURT!  This one is no exception.  I'm not sure why but the leather really stings.  The softness fools you into thinking it won't hurt too much!  HA!  Fooled me it did!

So, Bossman has made it clear that we are going to be doing a lot more spanking this year.  I don't know if this will really happen, but I'm hoping it does.

Or rather, I'm hoping it doesn't???

No, no, I hope it does!  I think!

Anyway.....

Bossman asked me what HE gets out of all this spanking. 

Good question!  I'm thinking he gets a happier wife.  Everyone knows if the wife is happy, the whole family is happy...right?  But really, what DOES a spanker get out of spanking his wife?  What are the benefits to the whole spanking operation?

I mean, let's face it, the spankers have to do most of the work.  (As Bossman pointed out)
They have to make the time to spank.  They have to pick the implement.  They have to pull down the panties, (that's a tough one, I'm sure) They have to actually spank the bottom.  They have to decide how much is needed.  They have to decide if one should stand at the wall for awhile or if the spanking is over.

All the spankee has to do is get spanked.  Maybe stand for a few minutes at the wall, but usually we just lay over the lap and get spanked.

So I ask all you spankers out there...

What do you get out of spanking your partner?

hairbrushes hurt

Bossman came home for lunch today and gave me a spanking with the hairbrush. 

Um......

OW!

I'm beginning to realize that ALL our spanking toys hurt!  Seriously. 

Anyway, there was no time for any of the fun stuff, but I'm thinking of making some time for that tonight.
My sister gave me a bunch of candles for Christmas and I'm thinking of putting those to use in the bedroom tonight.

The man did earn some lovin'.  I mean, my butt.......it's been 3 hours and it's still nice and toasty.  Which is a good thing because it's cold here.

Speaking of cold....why is this winter so freakin' cold?  I pay big bucks to live in a place where it's suppose to be warm year around.  I am not getting my money's worth.  I'm thinking of complaining.  Is there a complaint box somewhere?  Maybe I should check the state line.  Surely there's one there.

Ok, now I'm just being silly.  I guess I should wrap this up. 

How's it going with all of you?  Did you have a good holiday?  Did you get a good spanking?  Or maybe a good spanking toy?

Please tell me......I'm bored!

a brand "spanking" New Year

I've had this blog for a very, very long time.  Seems like forever.  Never once, in all the time I've had this blog, have I had to actually come and write.

What I mean to say is.....nobody ever MADE me come here.  I always came on my own accord.  There has never been any pressure (other than from certain friends) to come and write.  So I just come and write whenever I want.

Not today people.

Today I am here because I was told to come.  I'd say forced to come, but forced seems so harsh.  Yes, I am here today because.....

Bossman told me to.

Let me just recap the New Years weekend for you. 

It was a quiet affair, not much to speak of.  We all just sort of hung out together.  It was nice.  It was nice until on New Years day the kids decided to take the dog for a walk.

Bossman decided this was the perfect time for a spanking.

As he spanked (with the BS) he told me that this was his New Years resolution. 

Spank more. 

Yikes!

He said more, but the jist of it is, he wants me to take better care of the house and me and he says he will spank more when there are not kids about.

YIKES!

The thought of more spankings terrifies me and excites me at the same time. 

Does that make sense?  No, not to me either.

By the way, I hate the BS.  Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Anyway, Sunday evening the kids decided to go to the movies.  Football was on, so I was pretty sure that left me with alone with the computer.  (Have I mentioned my new favorite game on facebook is Zuma???)

I forgot about halftime.

Halftime arrived and with it came Bossman.  With the BS, I might add.

By the way, I hate the BS!  Have I mentioned that?

He led me to the living room and placed me and my bare bottom over the ottoman.  He proceeded to spank my poor defenseless buttockal area. 

After he/I had had enough, he told me that I was to make sure and write about this in my blog.  Actually, he said I had to write about both spankings and he would read it tonight......

So, here I am, writing about my spankings.

Did I mention I hate the BS?  Because if I didn't, let me make this perfectly clear. 

I HATE the BACKSCRATCHER!

But, I do LOVE that Bossman! 

Hi Honey...I really, really love you and I will be ever so good from now on!  I promise!  Now is there any way we can get rid of the BS?  Thanks so much!  Yours forever,

Christmas

Feeling much better, thank you very much!  But...I gave it to the kids.  Bossman didn't get it.  I'm thinking it's because he's the only one in the house that got a flu shot.  I meant to get one...really, I did!  But procrastination is one of my strong suits....so of course I never got one.

Since it's almost Christmas, I thought I'd do a Christmas meme.  I hope you all have a very merry Christmas.  Enjoy your families and friends....eat too much....and love a lot!

8.When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? What truth?  I still believe!

9.Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? We have my family over on Christmas eve and we open all the gifts and then in the morning we open the gifts from Santa.

Thankful

 Things I'm thankful for today:

Tissue
Health insurance
laptop
netflix
old Christmas movies
advil

Most importantly I'm thankful for Bossman.  He has been a complete angel.  He's slept on the couch with me at 5 in the morning, he's gotten all my medicines and made sure I take them.  He's run all my errands, cooked all the meals and done dishes and laundry.

Well that's all I've got for today...I think I need a nap!

Monday fill in.....the very sick addition

 Not really a Monday fill in but boy am I sick!

I just came from the doc and it seems that I have 2 ear infections, a sinus infection and bronchitis.  All I need now is a partridge in a pear tree and I'll be all set for Christmas.  This is what happens when you procrastinate and don't get a flu shot.  Seriously, I haven't felt this sick since....well since that Thanksgiving 4 years ago when I got so sick.  But even then...I could breathe! 

I think you should all stop right now and take a huge breath.  Go ahead, inhale through your nose with your mouth closed.  Do it....I'll wait.

Was that good for you?  Because at the moment I can't do that at all.  As a matter of fact, my nose is so plugged up that I can't even taste.  Being sick is one thing but I can't even enjoy all the junk food that Bossman has been buying me!

Well, you all know that I'm a big baby anyway, so why should now be any different? 

I will say.....I am very, very grateful for my laptop!

Stay healthy people....and if you see Santa could you tell him that all I want for Christmas is to breathe?  Thanks!

Not much is happening here in grace-land.  Life is humming along at a nice pace.  I'm getting excited for Christmas.  Family will be coming over and I'm looking forward to all the neices and nephews coming over.

So.....Friday between 10am and 12pm, Bossman and I will be home alone.

Bossman told me last night that a spanking would be happening.  I'll keep you posted on that.

If a spanking does happen, I'll probably be needing some of this:

I better head to the store.....

Friday Fill-ins, the NON spanking edition

I'm failing as a blog writer.  I know this.  I will try harder. Who am I kidding???  I probably won't.  Or I will and then not.  Whatever....  I totally blame this on Bossman.  There has been no spankings around here and it's driving me NUTS!  If he doesn't give me things to write about...how am I suppose to write???

Oh well, enjoy the fill-ins!


1. The best thing about a birthday celebration is the cake.
2. Memories become more precious with the passage of time.

3. I went shopping recently and the most interesting thing I bought was helecoptor.

4. Talking behinds someones back is a child's game I don't like to play.

5. The reason is drama is too stressful.

6. I feel sorry for those in the  snow and cold.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to Christmas shopping with Bossman, tomorrow my plans include watching the Christmas parade and Sunday, I want to get the Christmas tree!

Thanksgiving

I can't believe how this past week has crept up on me.  It's all been a blur and a fun blur at that.

I had a great Thanksgiving.  Actually, this weekend has been awesome.  At the beginning of the week I wasn't sure how things were going to turn out.  We had major drama on Bossman's side of the family and I wasn't sure how that would affect us.

Turns out, things were great with us.  We are getting pretty good at ignoring the drama and leading our own lifes, even when they try and drag us in.

I hope you had a great Turkey day.  My sister and her family came over and we had fun.  We cooked, we watched football and we played games.  We ate until we all wanted to throw-up and then....we ate some more!

Can you believe it's time to get ready for Christmas?  My, my, time flies!

Well, what are you waiting for...let the games begin!

nothing but a Friday Fill-in

I've got nothing for you today.  It's been a bad week and other than what I posted yesterday I've got nothing of interest to report!  So let's just do the Friday fill-in and be done with it....OK?


1. Why does the lady taking my blood have to wiggle the needle around while it's in my arm?   (don't answer that...I already know.  And just because my veins are small doesn't mean it doesn't hurt!


2. I wish I could see the world the way little children see the world.

3. Thank you for being my internet friends and listening to all my problems when surely you have better things to do. How do you like that run on sentence?

4. Christmas is my favorite holiday because I love the decorations.

5. I am SO tired...all the time.

6. We can be anything we want to be if we make up our minds to be. That is a boring answer but my mind is mush today and I can't think of anything else.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to Nothing....as Bossman is leaving and I will be home watching my nephew and I'm not looking forward to it, tomorrow my plans include sitting around waiting for Bossman to come home and Sunday, I want to SLEEP!

Do you believe in spanking?

I take care of a little girl during the day.  She's almost 2 and she's just the sweetest little thing.  She looks a little like those Olsen twins, when they were babies.

Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because I had quite the shocker a couple of weeks ago when her mom came to pick her up.

Out of the blue she asks, "So, what do you think about spanking?"

Oh boy!  Are you kidding me?  Did you really just ask me that??  I almost started laughing.  Of course I realized immediately that she was talking about spanking children but still.....

I answered that I'm all for it when I need it and there is never enough at my house....IN MY HEAD.

In real life I asked what she thought....about spanking her children...of course...LOL

In the end it came down to the fact she had a really bad morning with her older daughter (whom I don't watch) and I guess she spanked her and the daughter (totally manipulating her mom) said that it was too hard and it hurt her tailbone. 

So the mom....(she's a little bit of an air-head) let her stay at grandmas for the day.  This is because she (the mom) is a teacher, so she didn't want her daughter to say something to her teacher about her butt hurting and then having the school turn her in.

Turns out.....just so you know.  The mom spanked the daughter with her hand and it was only one slap and it was over pants.  When the mom checked on the daughter later in the day, the grandma informed the mom that the daughter didn't even mention it.  There was absolutely NO mark on the daughter's butt....not even red.  So the daughter was being a typical 6 year old drama queen.....she totally got a free day off of school and made her mom feel bad.

I do understand the dilemma that the mom was put under.  IF she HAD sent the daughter to school and the daughter had complained to her teacher, her teacher would have had to tell the authorities and THAT could have resulted in very bad things.  Both mom and dad work in the school systems so they could possibly have lost their jobs.

Anyway, this isn't a post about whether or not you believe in spanking your children.  BUT, it does show how much life has changed since I was a kid.

Also, how often are you asked, in real life, What do you think about spanking??? 

Written while ignoring laundry by::

the couch spanking

Last week, we had the fortunate chance to be alone in our house.  The kids were out and not expected back any time soon.

We settled in to watch Hell's Kitchen.  Bossman decided that was the perfect opportunity to spank my bottom.

He bared my bottom and put me over his lap while sitting on the sofa.  With my head turned, I could watch TV while he was spanking.  I can honestly say that there wasn't much TV watching going on.

Even with just his hand...that man can spank HARD!

It was a lovely little spanking but it really hurt.  I was surprised at that because usually I can take a lot more from his hand.

I firmly believe that sometimes spanking just hurt more.  Seriously....there are times I can take a lot of spanking and still want more.  Then there are the times when a few swats hurt so much I don't think I can take any more at all.  I'm not sure there is a reason for this phenomenon, but if anyone has any ideas....let me know!

So, that's what's going on over here. 

How was your weekend?

5. The most entertaining person in my life is daughter because she's super funny and always comes home from work with funny stories.

6. Kurt Warren got voted off of Dancing with the Stars....who's next?

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to quiet evening at home, tomorrow my plans include church and pizza with friends and Sunday, I want to sleep all day!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Friday fill-in...the moody addition

I'm moody and cranky.  My meds are starting to make my legs ache, which is part of the side affects but it sucks!  I feel like I need to exercise but they sometimes ache too much to walk.  I'm heading to the oncologist in a couple of weeks, so I'll ask if there is anything I can do for it.  From all I've read, Advil is about the best I can do.  I'm doing that, but it doesn't help much.
Anyway, life is too short to worry about it.  Besides achy legs are better than cancer!

Hope you all have a good weekend!  Let's get to the Friday fill-ins!

1. Sometimes, life is sad and complicated.


2. I worried about the whole thing, way too much!

3. Small things make me cranky, lately.

4. The book "The Surrendered Wife" is very enlightening.

5. I keep meaning to tell you all about this book.

6. I haven't gone crazy ...yet.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging with the boys, tomorrow my plans include church and relaxing and Sunday, I want to hear the sounds of football and racing on TV!

ouch!

My son, the not-so-little man, went to his first dance on Friday evening.  He was so excited when he got home.  He says he danced and had a great time.  He slow-danced with an 8th grade girl.  (He's in 7th)  Way to go, Son!

Since my son was away, it seemed the perfect time to get that pesky little spanking out of the way.  Only there was one small problem.

My daughter walked in the door about an hour before the festivities were to begin.  ~sigh~

Seems she was asked to do a split shift, so she was home for 4 hours.  Crap!

My heart sank.  I thought I was going to have to wait longer to get this spanking over with.  Luckily, she had to go back an hour before the dance was over!

YAY!  Or maybe boo.  No...definitely Yay!  With a dash of boo.

So, the spanking was on.  And on it was. 

Bossman chose to use a wooden spoon, a backscratcher and a bath brush.  In that order.

He started out fairly soft but as the spanking went on, the softness faded to sharp stinging.  By the time he started on the bathbrush, I was sure I wasn't going to make it.  It really hurt!  I did the usual amount of complaining and wiggling and such, but it didn't help.  The man had a tight grip on me and he wasn't going to let me get out of this.

I was never so glad when it was over. 

Funny thing is, after it was over, I didn't think it was so bad.  I was telling myself how crazy I was to be dreading it.  I really thought, "I've had worse."  Of course, I certainly didn't tell HIM that.  I'm not THAT stupid.

Turns out, it was a pretty bad spanking.  Not so much that night, but the next day it was so itchy and sore.  A look in the mirror told me that there was some bruises.  Honestly, I didn't think there would be.

Anyway, everything is good now.  The car will get fixed soon and life will move on. 

You can bet that I will double and triple check my mirrors before backing up my car from now on!

funny facebook conversation....

Let's just get this out of the way first.  YES, there was a spanking.  I don't have time to write about it, but I promise I'll get to it soon.

Halloween was fun.  I posted some pictures of my daughter on facebook in her costume and I got funny comments.  She was dressed as a dead lion tamer and part of her costume was a whip.

These were the comments I got.

Friend 1:  Scary is right! Love the whip. (spanko)

Me:  you would... ;)

Friends 2: She looks like a character from a Tim Burton film.  Speaking of whips... where did she find it? Surely, not in one of your cabinets!!!  (spanko)

Me: I thought she borrowed it from YOU....LOL

My daughter: Gross.

Friend 3:  Great pictures. You weird people. Pumpkins were really good, especially when lit. :-)  (Non-spanko)

I guess we know where my daughter stands on the whole spanking issue.....or maybe she just thinks it's gross because it's her MOTHER talking....LOL  I really love the part where my vanilla friend called us weird! 

Either way....it was my favorite conversation this weekend! 
Now I need to get start writing about my spanking!

Written while ignoring laundry by::

Happy Halloween Friday fill in

Tonight is the first dance of the year, at the little mans school. 

Um.....

Are you serious?  He's old enough to go to dances?  And wait a minute....doesn't the wildchild turn 20 in a few weeks?

~sigh~  I think I'm getting OLD!

Anyway, since the dance is tonight, I have a strong feeling I'll be doing some dancing of my own.  I'm sure I'll be doing the spanking dance and honestly....I'm not looking forward to it.

I'm not usually in the situation of anticipation.  Usually it just happens.  We don't have the freedom to just spank whenever it's needed....so it's just happens when it happens.  And usually it doesn't happen at all.  BUT, this time he's determined and he's been reminding me every day. 

I guess what I'm saying is....I'm not a big fan of anticipation.

Oh well.....let's get on to the Friday fill-ins....the Halloween addition.

1. While the cat's away the mouse will always eat the cheesecake.

2. I think my sons Halloween costume is fabuloso!

3. Children are always around when I need a good spanking.

4. I immediately take off my shoes when I get home from work or shopping or what have you.

5. This may seem odd, but am not in the mood for a spanking.

6. I'm going to hide the backscratcher and that seems like a fine idea to me!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to getting the spanking over with, tomorrow my plans include carving pumpkins and going to dinner at a friends house and Sunday, I want to trick or treat with my son!

make-up sex

I know all you detail whores (and you know who you are) are dying to know what happend on Monday.

It was hot.

It was sexy.

It was....

So, I'm minding my own business, washing dishes.  Bossman comes up and starts kissing me.  It was a very hot kiss.  I melted into him and just kissed long and hard. 

Of course that lasted about 5 seconds before a kid walked in.  And you know how kids are....all grossed out when the parental units are kissing.  Someday, they will get it.  LOL

After I finished the dishes, I went into the living room to watch some football. (What do you mean you don't watch football on Monday nights???)  I went to sit on the opposite side of the sofa from Bossman, but he beckened me over to his side.  Since we had such a crappy weekend, we felt like we needed to be close to each other.

So, I went over and sat by him and I ended up laying on the couch with my head in his lap.  He asked if I had taken a shower that day and no...I hadn't yet taken a shower.

At half time, he pulled me off the sofa and led me to the bedroom.  He said we were going to take a shower together.  Although the kids are grossed out by the shower thing, they are used to us doing that....so it was no big deal.

Once we got into the bathroom though....things changed.

Suddenly, Bossman was in complete control.  He made me stand in the dark bathroom while he went and got some stuff out of the bedroom.  He came back with a blindfold and our wrist cuffs.

After unclothing me and cuffing my wrists behind my back and blindfolding me, he whispered in my ear that I was to obey him.  I was not to talk or try to do anything that he didn't want me doing.

Needless to say, the shower was amazing.  He was in control of everything, just the way I like it to be. 

It was a nice way to reconnect. 

For those of you interested.....there is still talk of a spanking.  Bossman is taking great delight in reminding me that it will happen.  He wants me to know that although it was an accident, I should have been more careful.  He says he can't wait for the opportunity to reveal itself. 

I, on the other hand, am thinking this isn't going to be a good one....if you know what I mean.

guilty as charged

Sometimes I can be so stupid!

Bossman has a nice car.  It's a sports car and it stands out.  People take notice.  People comment and point at his car wherever he goes. 

I dented it.

It all happened Saturday.  We were headed out the door to a funeral.  Bossman was taking his car because he had to be there to run the sound system and I had to take the little man to a friends house.  We headed out at the same time but Bossman couldn't find his garage door opener.  He had pulled his car out onto the driveway and was looking for the opener. 

I thought he had left. 

I backed out of the garage.  And smacked right into his car.

I didn't look out of the mirror.  Well, I take that back, I didn't look out of ALL the mirrors.  The driveway is at an angle and the way his car was parked, I couldn't see it out the rearview mirror.  Had I looked out of the side mirror, I would have seen him.

Stupid, stupid, stupid! 

This car is Bossman's pride and joy.  He loves this car....sometimes I think he loves it more than me!  (Not really)  So needless to say, he was quite unhappy with me. 

Let's just say, unhappy is an understatement.  He was out and out PISSED!

Now, I don't blame him for being mad.  I was pretty mad at myself and I was helpless to fix it.  I hate that!  All I really wanted to do was go back in time and make sure I looked out of my mirrors.    GAH!

Anway, he zoomed off to the funeral and I took the little man to his friends.  When I got to the funeral, I knew I wasn't going to be sitting with him because he was working the sound system.  So, I sat through the service by myself.  Not only was I sad that my friend passed away, I was pretty sad that I had ruined Bossmans car and I KNEW he wasn't going to talk to me.  I knew he was going to be really mad.  And I KNEW there was nothing I could do to fix it.

After the funeral, I cornered Bossman in one of the classrooms and I tried to apologize.  He wasn't ready to hear it.  He said he knew it was an accident, but he didn't want to talk about it.  I was in tears, but there was nothing I could do except let him go on his way.

Needless to say, Saturday night was tense in our house.  We stayed in opposites sides of the house.  Sunday, wasn't much better....but by the evening we were at least hanging out in the same rooms.

All I really wanted was for him to forgive me.  I knew it would happen, but the waiting was horrible.  I was so sad and angry at myself, I didn't really know what to do.

Monday Bossman came home for lunch.  I offered to fix him something and he cornered me in the pantry and gave me a hug.  I think it's the best hug I ever got.  I got a little teary.  He said he forgave me.  I told him how sorry I was. 

Things were still a little awkward.  I didn't know how I should act or be. 

Monday night, I was doing the dishes and he came over and kissed me.  It was raw and passionate and it was....

Well, it was the beginning of make-up sex.

And if you want to know about it...you'll have to wait until tomorrow.  I've got laundry to do!

In case you were wondering, spanking was mentioned and I'm pretty sure the next time we are completely alone, I'll be getting my bottom dented.....just like I did to his car! :(

Friday Love

Thank you all for stopping by yesterday!  I'm so humbled by the thought you all are out there reading this and think of me when doing laundry...LOL 

I'm always surprised when someone leaves a comment.  You would think after all the years I've been blogging I'd be used to it.  But no.  I'm always surprised that you guys want to read this stuff. 

So again I say, Thank you! 

There is no spanking happening around here.  You know, the whole "lets have a period whenever my uterus feels like it" is getting old and making me crabby!  That's right, I said it, I'm crabby. 

I'm finding myself very sensitive about certain subjects and I keep having to apologize to Bossman for snapping at him.  The latest subject.....

I'm very concerned that my children, (mostly the little man) will only remember me as the mom who was sick.  The mom that can't do stuff because she's tired, or sick, or it might hurt her neck. (remember, my neck is a mess and I can't do as much stuff as I used to...you know, like roller coasters and stuff) 

The other night my son said he wished I could do fun things like I used to.  ~sigh~

So, the other night Bossman suggested that I try to do fun things with the little man.  I got upset and snapped and, needless to say, it wasn't pretty.  I know he wasn't saying it meanly, but I just lost it.  I don't like feeling like I'm failing my kids.  I certainly don't want to be known as the sickly mom who can't do anything. 

Anyway, that's what's happening around here.  Don't worry, I've apologized to Bossman and we've moved on, but it's still on my mind and it's still bothering me.  Whatever!

Time for Friday spanko fill-ins.  At least I try to make them spanking related.  I figure I've got to fake it til I make it.  If I pretend to be in a sexual, spanking mood....maybe it will happen...right???  Bold is my answer and if I've added anything to the fill in...that's in italic.

1. One of my strongest beliefs is God.  And a good spanking can solve most problems.


2. Somtimes I can make small problems huge!

3. The sky is cloudy with a threat of rain and wind and cold, so I start a fire and make hot chocolate.

4. Bossman spanking me  is comforting to me.

5. I always thought I'd be a teacher.

6. First we had dinner  and then I went outside to look at the full moon.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to dinner at the beach, tomorrow my plans include a funeral (not fun) and Sunday, I want to get my toilet fixed! maybe this week?

Well, there you have it.  I hope you all have a great weekend!

Love our Lurkers

Welcome!

As you've noticed, this is not your typical spanking blog.  I've not had as much spanking as I would like.  I've been kind of busy with breast cancer.

BUT, things are getting better.  Life does move on.  I'm one of the lucky ones. 

So, thanks for stopping by.  Thanks for reading, even on the boring days!

Please....leave a comment if you can.  I'd love to know that you are out there reading, even if you leave me a fake name.

This year has been really hard.  I've so grateful for the love and support of this blogging community. 

So, again I say....

Thanks for stopping by!

Fake it til you make it

Still coughing!  (Yes, C, I should see the doc, but we all have the cough and since it's slowly going away, I'll wait a few more days before I go.  I've been going to the doc so much, I really hate to go unless I NEED too!)

The back is feeling better.  Still a little sore, but nothing major.  Unfortunately, I can lift the laundry basket again!

Ever since I've been on this bc med, tamoxifen, my periods have been weird.  (Ok boys, this is where I get into TMI and talk about periods.  If this squicks you out, jump to the next paragraph!)  See, I've been a spotter.  My periods have been super regular, but I spot and bleed a lot throughout the month.  I've been doing that since my son was born 12 years ago and I've been to many docs, but nothing is wrong, so I just live with it.  I thought tamoxifen was actually going to have a good side effect.  I went a whole month without spotting.  OH the JOY!  What a great month.  But then, I didn't get my period.  So I thought I was preggers.  Which...OMG!  Shoot me now, if I'm pregnant.  But, I just started my period a week late.  That was 2 weeks ago.  Now, now I'm having another period.  GAH! 

Turns out, this is all normal with the meds, so nothing to worry about.  Plus, in August I had a pelvic ultrasound and everything looks good in there!  (I know you were all dying to know that about me...LOL)

In other news....my daughter may be moving out. 

MOVING OUT????

Apparently, she has a friend that needs a roomate and she is thinking of moving in with her.  Um, when did she become old enough to move out on her own?  Furthermore, when did I become old enough to have a daughter old enough to move out?

This could all happen as early as next month.  I'm happy for her, but seriously....how weird is it going to be without her?

I'm trying really hard to be supportive.  Trying not to be negative.  Hopefully, if I keep this up, I'll actually BE supportive instead of just trying.

On the plus side, she won't be around as much, so there could be more spanking opportunities.  Right now, that's about the only plus I can think of. 

Life is still moving forward.  Even after everything that's happened this last year. 

Imagine that!

Friday fill-ins and the bad back

The cold is slowly going away, but I still have a nagging cough which I thought I'd share with Bossman.  You know me, I'm the sharing type!

Let me be honest.  This coughing is driving me bananas!  If my bladder isn't completely empty, I end up with a little squirt in my panties.  (Was that TMI????)  Stupid coughing.

So, the other night, I got up to use the potty.  It was around midnight and Bossman wasn't in bed yet.  I used the potty and stood up.  I started to walk to the sink, cuz, you know, I gotta wash my hands, when I had a major coughing fit.  I coughed really hard when suddenly.......

OMG!

The worst back pain I've ever had shot through my body. 

It felt like lightening had struck my lower back.  I thought I was going to fall down, but I managed to grab the sink counter.  But there was a problem.

I couldn't MOVE!  Oh my goodness, the pain was incredible and I couldn't MOVE.  All I could do was stand there. 

I tried calling for Bossman but there were a couple of things against me.  One was, the door was closed and our house is big.  The second thing was, the little mans room is between my room and the living room where Bossman was.  The third thing was, the bathroom window was open and I didn't want to alarm the neighbors.

So, there I was, trapped in my own bathroom by my own back.  I knew I needed a life alert bracelet.  It was a "I've fallen and can't get up" moment!

I couldn't even take my hands off the counter.  BUT, I finally managed to push the door open.  I was standing right next to it, so I just had to take my hands off the counter.  Once I got the door open, I gave a loud shout to
Bossman and I prayed that he would hear me.  He did!  Finally.  It must have been 5 minutes before I was able to get his attention.  He says he barely heard me and thought it was coming from outside but decided to investigate.  Thank goodness he did.

Once he found me, it was quite a trick getting me to the bed.  After trying a chair, (sitting...not an option) and trying various other ways, it was determined that the only way I was making it to the bed was to crawl.

~sigh~  That's right....I said CRAWL!  As in, on my hands and knees. 

After that humiliating trip across the floor, I managed to get myself halfway on the bed.  With my legs dangling off, Bossman was able to get the rest of me on the bed.  After a few flips, (him, flipping me..LOL) I was securely on my side of the bed, face up.  I was glad I had just got to the potty, for getting back to the bedroom was not going to be fun.

Heating pad and massage helped, then we just went to sleep.  When I woke around 6am, I was able to move better and get myself out of bed.  Today it's still sore, but I'm able to move and walk. 

Everytime I cough now, I get worried.  I have to brace myself and try not to cough to hard.

Seriously?  Am I suppose to be this frail at the age of 42???  GAH!

Well, let's move on the Friday fill-ins....On Saturday!

1. Wow, it's already Saturday.

2. Spanked behinds are beautiful.

3. My favorite way to start a day is cuddling with Bossman before a spanking and after.

4. I would be very surprised if he came home and he walked in the door holding a pumpkin.

5. I look out my window and see tall pine trees in my back yard.

6. Spanking is what I've been thinking about lately. And bad back or not....I want one!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to making cookies with the little man, tomorrow my plans include watching the nascar race with Bossman and Sunday, I want to make sure Bossman fixes my toilet!

coughing and hacking and sneezing....oh my!

Well, I can see my Friday fill-ins were a complete hit!  (she says with her tongue in cheek) 

Thank you Jean!  For your comment and for always being there!  You always make me smile!

So, I think...and I'm not sure, but I THINK I got a virus from PK.  I've heard of computer viruses, but this is terrible.  I went to her site, read about her cold and NOW, now I've been coughing and hacking for 3 days.  I'm sure I got it from her.  Although it's not fun...I have enjoyed laying around watching cheesy television and eating chicken soup!

Bad news on the spanking front.  BUT, good news on the daughter front. 

The wild child got a promotion at work.  This is great news and I'm really happy about it.  The bad news?  Her schedule has changed, so now she's home during the day....which means, our spanking time has disappeared!  Just this very morning Bossman said my butt needed spanked!  But with the wildchild in the other room..... ~sigh~

Well, I'll let you know when this coughing thing lets up!  Hope your week is fantastic!

The return of Friday fill-ins

I don't know if you noticed, but I seem to be posting a lot more these days.  I love posting, but I sometimes have a hard time figuring out what to post.  My life seems incredibly boring right now....but I'm not complaining, I could do with a little boredom!

My motto for life right now is simple.  Live, laugh, love.  Life is too precious to waste. 

So, lets laugh today. I don't know if my fill-ins are funny, but they make me smile because they are fun to do.  In honor of spanking, I'm going to try and make mine spanking related.

If you don't know what a friday fill in is, it's simple.  They are random sentences with blanks and we get to fill them in. 

My answers will be in bold, if you would like to play along, let me know and I'll link your blog or you can do them right in my comments!

So, let's get going already!


1. My favorite month is October.  It used to be June, but June was bad this year, so I'm going with October because October is right now and I'm happy to be here.


2. When panties are pulled down for a spanking, you can feel a fresh breeze.

3. I love to sniff my fabric softener.

4. A spanking before sex is what I like to have as a treat for breakfast. (Or english muffin with strawberry jam.)

5. The hobby I enjoy most is spanking.  (What did you think I was going to say?  Reading??)

6. Paddles and spoons and backscrathers, oh my!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging with my boys, tomorrow my plans include church and model railroad expo and Sunday, I want to watch football!

pink stuff

I KNOW, I know, I said I wasn't going to mention BC month.  I can't help it.  This is really annoying me.

Do you know how many pink things there are out there for us to buy?  All under the guise that the money is going to breast cancer research.

Holy pink crap Batman....there is a lot of stuff out there.

Let me give you some examples.

I saw an ad for a breast cancer doll.  She's wearing a cute pink dress with a pink bc ribbon on it.  I also saw and I kid you NOT....pink baby leg warmers.  For real babies.  With pink ribbons on it.......

Also, in the grocery store....pink ribbon razors, pink ribbon soup and in the bakery isle?  Cookies with pink ribbon sprinkles on them.

Not to mention the pink ribbon candles for your mantle.

There are shoes, journels, hats and pins.  Picture frames, lunch coolers and baby booties.  Purses, slippers, flip-flops and ear rings!  I even saw pink ribbon candy.

The list is endless people.  I think people put pink ribbons on stuff, just to sell it.  I'm wondering how much money ACTUALLY gets to the breast cancer research. 

I admit, I have some pink stuff.  I have a hat that was D's.  It's pink and it has a pink ribbon on it.  It's sparkley and it was one of D's favorites.  My mom bought me a diamond pink ribbon pendent for me to wear while going through radiation treatment.  AND, I have a rubber pink bracelet that says "save the ta-tas", that my neice gave me and I wear it every day.

Don't get me wrong, I love pink.  I think you've seen my template here have pink on it a lot.  Pink was the color of my wedding.  I just wonder if we've taken the whole pink ribbon thing too far?  How much of the money is actually going to breast cancer research and how much of this stuff has a pink ribbon on it so you will THINK you are contributing?

So, let's just say.... I'm so grateful that there is research being done and there is so much awareness out there.  If not, I might not be here right now.  I guess I shouldn't complain.  Really, I should do my part and buy more stuff with pink ribbons...right?

I think I'll start with this pink vibrator!

October?

Would somebody please tell me what happened to September?  How is it that October is already here?

Well, yesterday Bossman and I were getting a little naughty in bed before starting our day.  After the fun, I was laying on the bed with my butt sticking out.  Bossman took a look and noticed that he left a little bruise from the day before.

The man was proud. 

Actually, I was proud of him. 

I am hoping there is more of this action in my future.

a quick spanking

There was a 30 minute window between the time the baby was picked up and the time we had to pick up the little man from school.  I didn't have much hope that a spanking would occur as He was in the middle of a video game.  Come to think of it, this was one time when I wasn't even hoping or thinking about a spanking.

As I settle in to a game of Bejeweled, on Facebook, Bossman appears next to the computer.  He watches the game and since the games are only one minute, he doesn't have to wait long until the game is over.  He takes my hand and says "Come with me for a minute."

For a moment, I'm confused.  Did he want to show me his score on his game?  Did he want me to see the new part on the race car he's working on?  Why was he bugging me now?

All those thoughts collided with each other as I stood up from my chair.  When I looked up to his face, the reason he wanted to see me was clear.  Spanking time!

He said it was high time for a spanking.  Although I gave the appropriate response of no, no, no, and I don't want too......he led me to the bedroom.

He grabbed the LV (Las Vegas) backscratcher and sat down on the edge of the bed.  He pulled me between his legs and unbuttoned my jeans.  He pushed my jeans and panties down to my knees and then pulled me over his knee.

He started off with soft taps on my bottom.  They got stingyer and stingyer as he continued.  (Is stingyer a word?)  It's been a while since my bottom has had a visit from the LV, so it hurt even as they weren't that hard.  After a bit, he threw in some hard ones, mixed with the softer ones, and I never quite knew when they would land or how hard they would land.

Before I knew it....and WAY too soon, he stopped.  He pulled me up between his legs, pulled my pants up and handed me the LV.  I put the LV back where it belongs (not in the trash where it should be) and when to my side of the bed and laid down with my head on his chest.  I rubbed my hands on his chest and listened to his heart beat and I thought.....This is good!

We laid that way without speaking until it was time to pick up the little man. 

It's the little moments in life that make the biggest difference.  Enjoy your little moments this weekend!
