Today is the V's! Only 4 weeks of gratitude Tuesday left. Hard to believe that we've almost finished the alphabet. I've had fun with it!
So, let's see if I can think of V words that I am grateful for.
Vests? Nope, not really grateful for vests.
Valentines day? Uh, no. I think that is a dumb holiday that is just making the card companies rich. Why do we need a day to celebrate love? I think we should do that everyday!
I do like my vaccumm. We have a kirby...which is like the king of all vaccumms. It's so powerful that it's messed up the padding under the old carpet in our house. The carpet is super old...but still.
Villages are cool. When I was a child we lived in Germany. The villages are so cute there. You can be on the highway and then suddenly you go through a small village. I miss that.
I do like a good vacation. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there are any vacations on the horizon for me. That's what happens when you buy a house. You have no money left.
I totally got into the Twilight seris so now I am in love with vampires! That Edward Cullen pushed all my buttons!
Out of all the flavors of ice cream in the world, I'm a true vanilla at heart! (hard to believe huh?)
I do love our vehicles. There was a time, not that long ago, that our vehicles sucked and we could barely make it across town!
I can't wait until this house is vacant!
What kind of girl would I be if I wasn't grateful for my vagina?
I love visiting Vegas! My SIL is there, (update on her tomorrow) and it's just fun. But my favorite part of Vegas? The valet parking!
So, I guess that's it for our V's! I thought it was going to be hard, but it turns out that it was easy once I got started.
The wildchild is in LA, as you read this, trying out for American Idol. Of course we all know that the chances are slim that she will make it on the show, but who knows what could happen. She has a beautiful voice, but they only give you about 30 seconds to wow them before they move you on. You have to jump through about 5 hoops and if you manage to pass through all of them...you get an audition with Simon and the gang. If the wildhchild does manage to pass through all the hoops tomorrow, she won't get the auditon with the gang until 3 or 4 weeks from now.
I know the wildchild can make it in the music industry. But she has to work hard at it and get in with the right people. Of course we all know how hard it is to make it in that industry, so.... who knows!
In any case, she's having quite an experience. She and her friend are planning on being there at 3 in the morning. Whatever happens, she'll have quite a story to share.
That's it for today...now go out and be grateful!
TGIF
Happy Friday Everyone!
1. She had a great set of knockers. (At least I think Bossman would say that about me...LOL)
2. Bossman is by my side, always.
3. I know this: Buying a house is stressful business!
4. Life is good, still.
5. These words apply to me: Stressed, happy, healthy and tired.
6. The day I got married the sun was shining.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having the youth group over, tomorrow my plans include hanging out with Bossman and Sunday, I want to try to not worry about the wildchild, who is heading to LA to try out for American Idol!

Guess what?
Looks like we are in escrow!
Ok, I'm not sure what that means. I mean, I know that I signed some papers saying I wanted to buy a house and I guess that means we are getting the house unless.....
We have 17 days to back out of the deal if we want to. We also have 17 days to get the inspection and the pest report. If both of those things check out well, the house will be ours. Unless the bank changes their mind and decides not to lend us money after all. So, yeah. The house is almost ours! I won't count on anything until I have the keys in my hot little hand!
~other news~
I don't have any other news. There haven't been any spankings lately, but then again, I've been a complete angel, so there has been no need to get a spanking. ;)
If I must be truthful...well, we just haven't had any time to think about spanking. Summer is here, so the little man is home a lot more and Bossman has been super busy with work and his band. Of course there is this little thing of buying a house that has us both a little stressed!
I'm not worried though. Bossman hasn't lost interest, we just haven't had the time. So, everything is good.
Now, who's coming over to help me pack???

You, you, you, you, you...I wanna talk about U!
Can you believe we are already on the U's? Seems like yesterday we begain this little journey to gratefulville!
I know today is the U's. I am grateful for things like Umbrellas, unicorns and underwear. (especially when pulling them down...LOL) I also am in love with unicycles, ukelelies and uncles.
But really I am grateful for U! I know, I should save this for a few weeks when we are on the Y's, but when you are grateful for something, why should you put it off. Tell the world, I say!
So, I'd just like to say that I am grateful for all of U. U make this blog fun. I am comfortable telling U things about my life knowing that U all will be supportive. I can bounce things off of U and U will tell me your opinions. I may not always answer my comments, but I read them and I think about them and sometimes I even take your advice. So even though we may not be real life friends, we are real life friends. I take from here and use it in my every day life.
So thank U all! U all are the best! I appreciate U all!
Now go...be grateful!

the weekend
Bossman went out of town this weekend. A business associate gave him VIP tickets to the Nascar race. Since there was only two tickets I decided to stay home with the little man and Bossman took his father to the race. They left on Saturday and didn't come home until 1am on Monday morning. The little man and I went to the movies on Saturday night and we ended up going to the zoo on Sunday. It was nice spending time with my little man, but I sure did miss Bossman.
So that was my weekend....
My sister came back from her trip to see our father. I haven't spoken to her yet, but she did post pictures on facebook. Since I amnosey curious, of course, I took a peek. Weird thing.... After seeing them, I realized something very important. I realized that I have no need to go visit him. I have no need to see him. As I looked at the pictures it made my stomach hurt. I didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling. I was looking at a stranger. I was surprised that I had that gut reaction when I saw the picture of him. I've since gone back and looked again and I still get the same reaction. I guess that means I don't really need him right now.
Maybe someday. But for now, I think I'll just not worry about it.
~house news~
We have put an offer in on a different house. We got a counter offer and I think we are going to accept the offer. We want to go look at the house again before we sign anything and I think that is going to happen today or tomorrow.
We found out the other house had a price drop. We also found out that there is a problem with that house that will cost 20 grand to fix. Oh yeah, 20 grand! Thank goodness we didn't sign up for that house. The only way that house would work for us is if they drop the price 20 grand. I have a feeling that house will be on the market a long time!
That's what going on over in Graceland. Things are busy, life is good.
How's your summer going so far???

Friday fill-in
1. All children alarm their parents, if only because you are forever expecting them to listen to you.
2. Show me a good loser and I will show you a good game to play.
3. A good spanking with sex after is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs at one time. (Filling, but satisfying....)
4. Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy giving TV interviews and not left alone to do the job.
5. I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine boobs and butts.
6. It is impossible to think of any good meal, no matter how plain or elegant, without sauce or pasta in it.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to finishing up vacation bible school, tomorrow my plans include taking the little man to the drive-in and Sunday, I want to take the little man to the beach!
I'd like to wish all the Fathers a very happy Fathers day for this Sunday. We all know where I stand with my father, so I like to celebrate the father of my children on Fathers day. Bossman was lucky enough to score some Nascar tickets for this Sunday. One of his associates gave him two VIP tickets. Since the race is in Sonoma, which is roughly 5 hours from me, I decided not to go with Bossman. He's going to take his father with him, which I think is a perfect way for him to celebrate Fathers day! They are leaving Saturday night and won't be home until late Sunday. Therefore, I get to spend some time with my little man this weekend.
I hope you all have a great weekend!

gratitude Wednesday
I would just like to thank you all for your comments on my last post. You are all such wise people.
I'm a pretty forgiving person. A lot of you mentioned forgiving my father. Although in my mind, I've forgiven him, maybe my heart hasn't done the same.
I've been thinking it over quite a bit and I'm still unsure what I feel about the whole thing. A part of me would love to just forget about him and not deal with him anymore. Another part of me wants to keep in my life..."just in case". I'm not sure what the "just in case" is all about, but I feel like if I don't keep him in my life...I might be missing out on something.
Of course, the other part of me wants to keep the door open for my kids. Although they have never met him, he sends them cards and such, I would hate to shut that door on them. Maybe someday they would like to get to know their grandfather.
See, I grew up in an Army brat home. So we moved...ALOT! I never really had family around. It was just my mom, step dad, brother and sister. I had grandparents that visited once a year and that was IT! I never met my uncle, my cousins or any other family until I became an adult. I always wanted to have a big family. I think it's because I didn't have one. So, I don't want my kids to feel like they missed out on anything. (Ok, I'm just being a mother here, and chances are they could care less...)
Well, luckily my sis hasn't posted a whole bunch of stuff on Facebook. Maybe she knows I'll see it and won't like it. She's just been posting generic stuff like "she's just hanging with family and friends." She hasn't posted any pics or stuff, but I imagine, because I'm such a lurker and because I'm incredibly nosey, I'll look at them if she posts them.
Anyway, there isn't much gratitude in this post...so let's just get right to it!
Trees: I love trees! I love looking at them, taking pictures of them, sitting by them. They are majestic and I wish I could make them talk. I'm sure they have stories to tell.
Travel: I'm not a big traveller, but once I'm out there, I enjoy it. I only wish I could take my house with me everywhere we went. Then....travel would be PERFECT!
Talking: Talking is a great way to meet people. DUH!
Trains: I like trains by default. Bossman loves trains and has a miniature train in our garage. My grandfather worked for Southern Pacific for over 20 years. I guess trains were just meant to be in my life.
Telephones: How would we live without telephones? Or cell phones? I can't even imagine it!
Turkey: Well, Thanksgiving is the time for turkey and for gratitude so I LOVE turkey!
Tea: Iced Tea is lovely to drink on a hot day.
Well, if I want to post this before Wednesday is over, I better stop the list now.
Have a great day and don't forget to be grateful!

Excuse me while I sort out my feelings...
Long rambly post....if your not in the mood for that, please go visit one of my friends. You'll find them on my sidebar! Thanks!
I know that somewhere in my archives there is a post I wrote about my father. For those of you that can't remember, or are new, let me refresh your mind a little.
My father left my mother when I was about 5. My mom remarried when I was about 7 and I was raised by my step father. My step father abused me, but that's a different story for a different post.
My father was out of my life. I think he did time in prison. I know he was an alcoholic.
Fast forward thru my childhood....
I'm now married and am pregnant with my first child. That would make me around 22.
Until now, I haven't had any contact with my father. I don't remember him at all. When I was a teen, I went to the library and looked up his number in the phone book. I never told anyone that I did that....and I never called. Just knowing I had it was quite enough for me, thank-you-very-much.
My sister is four years younger than I. She decided to contact him. Without telling me. Not only does she contact him, she thinks it's a good idea to give him my phone number...again...without telling me!
So, I'm 22, I'm preggers and I get a phone call. "May I speak to Grace?" "Yes, this is Grace." (all the time thinking it's a telemarketer) "This is your father." (No, he didn't use the Darth Vader voice...although that would have been cool...LOL)
Without warning, I have a father. Weird.
I didn't know what to think about this event. The conversation was awkward and stiff. It wasn't anything like I had thought it would be. Maybe I watched too many reunion shows where everyone is all teary and crying and Oh-So-Happy to meet the long lost relative.
Whatever!
Since that fateful day we met once. He decided it would be great to come and visit me 4 weeks after my baby was born. Well, he visited my sister too. Again...weird and awkward.
Since then we have kept in touch via phone and cards. I should say, he keeps in touch and I...well, I send him a christmas card.
I'm sorry. I'm not really interested in this relationship. AND...I feel guilty about it. He's old now and he's had a lot of health troubles. He is kind enough to send us birthday cards, and he calls once in awhile. But you know what? He's a drama king! He'll make me feel guilty because I don't call and because I don't send him birthday cards. This is how a conversation will go:
Him: "How's things going?"
Me: "Great! Kids are great, Bossman is great, everyone is great. How are you?"
Him: "Well, I survived another birthday."
Me: "Oh yeah, well that's nice."
Him: " Yeah, I didn't see a card from you in the mail."
See, what I mean? I hate it! But I'm too nice of a person to say anything and I'm not brave enough to just tell him to bug off...because....
What if I don't want him to bug off?
Anyway, now he's moved to Arizona. Only 9 hours from me. He's only been there for about 3 weeks and my sister (God bless her) is there right now visiting him. ARRRRGGGGGG!!!!
I don't know why, but this pisses me OFF!
So, here's what happened this weekend. I get a call from Him wanting to know my sisters number because he wants to know what day she's arriving. THEN, he wants to know when I'm visiting. Uh, hello, I already told him we were buying a house and could not make any trips this summer. Then he tells me he can't handle a long drive so I'll have to come see him. Before I comment on that let me tell you one more thing. Yesterday, I get a text from my sister. She wants to know His address because she left it at him and he doesn't know she's showing up today instead of tomorrow and doesn't want to call him. Yeah, right.
Here's my comment on those two calls. First His. How does he have MY number and not hers when he talks to her more than me? Sure, lets say he lost her number in the move. Lost HER number and NOT mine? Most people keep the numbers in the same spot...so somehow I don't think he lost the number.
Not only that, but I think he was just trying to rub in the fact that my sister was coming to visit and why wasn't I coming to visit him...like he's a freaking king or something. (sheez, I'm getting all upset just typing this out....ACK!)
Now let's discuss my sisters text. First of all, who goes on a trip and leaves the address behind? Second, she texted me. She knows I don't answer my texts all the time because I have a home number and I don't use my phone when I'm at home. So if she really needed the address why didn't she call my house???? Again...trying to rub it in or WHAT???
The icing on the cake is this....I'm on facebook a lot. She's on facebook a lot. She's already left comments on there about her trip. Next thing she'll do is post pictures. Soooo, all week long, I'll have to see her updates on her stupid trip.
AND I'm NOT happy about it.
Now, let me throw this all out on the table.
Maybe I'm jealous. Could that be it? That could be it. Except....I don't think I want to be there. I know seeing him after 18 years would be awkward....I'm really interested in that. Or am I?
I just don't want to hear about this trip. I don't want to go visit him, but I want the option, should I ever change my mind.
Lastly, guess what this weekend is? Fathers day! Oh great, one more thing to feel guilty about. Except, I don't really feel guilty about this one. I mean he's not a father figure to me. So, why should I celebrate him? He was nothing but a sperm donor, in my eyes.
Or is he?
This post isn't really helping me sort through this, it's just pissing me off all over again. But it does help to write it all down.
So, if you actually made it to the end of this post, I thank you. This day has not been a good day for me. I think I'll try and work on my gratitudes. Maybe that will help me feel better.
Or not.
I know that somewhere in my archives there is a post I wrote about my father. For those of you that can't remember, or are new, let me refresh your mind a little.

Lastly, guess what this weekend is? Fathers day! Oh great, one more thing to feel guilty about. Except, I don't really feel guilty about this one. I mean he's not a father figure to me. So, why should I celebrate him? He was nothing but a sperm donor, in my eyes.
Or is he?
This post isn't really helping me sort through this, it's just pissing me off all over again. But it does help to write it all down.
So, if you actually made it to the end of this post, I thank you. This day has not been a good day for me. I think I'll try and work on my gratitudes. Maybe that will help me feel better.
Or not.
house update and friday fill ins
So, it looks like the house isn't in the cards. The sellers are really just being nit-picky and we aren't in the mood to dicker over a few thousand dollars. BUT, never fear...we aren't stupid. We've been looking at other houses and so we are going to try out an offer on another house. Same square footage, but bigger yards and bigger bedrooms. We knew going in it was going to be tough, so I can't get my hopes up on any of the houses that we put offers on.
Yesterday was the last day of school, so if you are reading this in the morning, chances are I'm still sleeping! I plan on sleeping nice and late tomorrow!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the fill-ins! I'd love for YOU to do the fill-ins...come on...it's really not that hard!
1. I grew up thinking I had to be a good girl.
2. Facebook was the last website I was at before coming here.
3. Why don't you try filling out the Friday fill-ins?
4. Bubble baths helps me relax.
5. Thanks for the well wishes on the house buying. I know we'll find something soon!
6. Getting spanked with the BS is very off-putting.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing at home, tomorrow my plans include going swimming at my Moms with my brother and nephew and son and Sunday, I want to head to the beach with the little man!

SSSSSSSSSSS
Blogging seems to be way down on the priority list these days. I forgot all about it until I stopped by today and realized it was Tuesday.
We made an offer on a house on Friday. They countered on Saturday. We countered back on Monday and NOW we are anxiously waiting to hear what the verdict is. We really like this house and although I'm trying not to get to excited about it, I will probably be disappointed if it doesn't go through. I KNOW, I shouldn't get so emotionally invested in it, but it's hard. It just seems like the perfect house for us. I suppose if we don't get it, then it wasn't meant to be, but still....
In other news, the D/D is still going strong here in Graceland. I'm not really sure how or why it's working, but for now it's working. One thing I know, I've been much more productive. Believe it or not, getting spanked for stuff you didn't do isn't nearly as fun as getting spanked for fun. Heh, who knew?
For those of you that like baseball, we went to the Dodger game on Friday. Oh my! It was a great game. Down the whole game, last inning we were down by one...two outs...full count, bases loaded. Someone (don't ask me names...LOL) hit the ball into right field, two runners in...we win by one! YAY Dodgers! In more exciting news, for those of you that could care less about baseball, we saw Larry King. Surprisingly enough, Larry King looks just like Mr. Burns, from the Simpsons. I kept cracking myself up all night by calling him Mr. Burns! We also saw Ron Howard. He was walking right in front of us. The wildchild yelled, "HEY Ron Howard!" He turned and pointed right at her, at which she yelled "Ron Howard just pointed at me!" To which everyone in the crowd cracked up! Of course the best part of the night is when the crowd boo'd ME! That's right...they boo'd me. See the beach ball was right over my head and I hit it out of reach of the crowd. Everyone around us boo'd. My daughter said it was a total party foul...whatever that means...LOL
So, that's what going on in my world. Oh yeah, today is gratutide tuesday, so I guess I should make my list of S's!
Sex...that's a given..right?
Sports: It wouldn't be the same in my house if there wasn't a sport on TV. Not that I enjoy watching them all the time....
sand: I love the beach and the warm sand between my toes is just one of the reasons I love the beach so much.
slippers: cold night + cold feet = slippers!
soul mate: You probably guessed my soul mate is Bossman.
spring: Everything blooms and grows and is fresh and new. Spring is wonderful
slaps: Slaps to my bottom warm my heart.
summer: Thursday is the last day of school. Summer vacation is great because I get to sleep in. Although I admit I will be doing the happy dance when school starts again!
That's it! I managed to get my list out before Tuesday is over! Keep your fingers crossed about the house! K? Thanks!

Friday fill-ins and house update
1. We are putting an offer on a home, today!
2. My favorite thing for dinner lately has been tacos.
3. Odie says bark! bark! bark!
4. A nice long walk makes the stress less noticeable.
5. Next week I hope to hear some good news. (That we got our house!)
6. When all is said and done, I could live in a cardboard box and still be happy, as long as Bossman is with me!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going to the Dodger game, tomorrow my plans include sleeping in and Sunday, I want to hang out at the cafe and listen to Bossman's band perform for the first time!
So yeah, in case you didn't catch my big fat hint in the fill ins, we are putting an offer in on a house today. It's beautiful and it's big and it's going to be our first house purchase! I'm excited and scared! I was excited about this house and then once they said we were signing some papers to make an offer, I got all freaked out. Sure this house is great, but what about the house I may see tomorrow?
I know, stupid things to think. This house has everything we could want and more. It's twice the size of the house we live in now. BUT, we've lived in this house so long (8 years) that I keep thinking of all the things I'll miss.
I know, it's just stress. It's not like we are moving far away. We are merely moving a few miles down the road. The little man will still attend the same schools. Everything will be fine.
So wish us luck! Here's hoping they accept the offer!
Oh yeah, and GO Dodgers!!!!!

Opposite yet the same?
I know today is the R's, but I'm not really in the R mood. I thought instead, that I would be grateful for Bossman instead.
Actually, I'm grateful for Bossman every day. Everyday I marvel that the man still loves me. I'm in awe that he wants to put up with my stresses and problems and all the other things that come with loving someone. How I managed to get so lucky, I will never know. But.....lucky I am!
So, I know I've been hinting around that Bossman has taken a very strong interest in the whole d/d aspect of spanking. I've tried for weeks to write about it, but frankly, I can't seem to write anything worth publishing. I have numerous drafts that I started to write, but none of them fully conveyed how I truly feel.
Which brings me to the question....how do I feel about the whole thing?
Good question! And although it's a pretty straight forward question, the answer is not at all easy to answer.
Recently Amber shed some light on the core reason why this is so hard to explain, or maybe for me, it's the reason why I am having a hard time talking about it. As she said "I think at least part of the problem is that many people lack the ability to hold two opposing beliefs at the same time. How can Dan think of me as a stupid little slut and yet revere me as his wife? And how can I abase myself and find pleasure in kneeling at his feet and yet know that I'm a total bad-ass in my own right?
These beliefs are opposites yet they are both true. True and not true."
Now, I don't think Bossman thinks of me as a stupid little slut. ;) But the core of the statement is true. How can Bossman think of himself as the head of the household, yet, still see me as an equal? How can I, allow myself to be spanked by him, allow him to take charge of me, but still consider myself a strong, powerful, almighty, Woman? How can I say that our marriage is based on equality if we consider one of us as the "head" of the family?
Opposite points and yet, both true! (Thanks Amber!)
So I find myself trying to explain how my husband has taken to spanking me when I get lazy and don't fulfill my end of the bargain. How when I threw a hissy fit in the car because I didn't think we should drive around the block again...that night he decided to spank me for attitude.
AND, how do I explain how I find our relationship getting better for it? How I find me, personally, changing into something better.
Even though most of you reading this will get exactly what I'm saying and even though, that's what this blog has been about for 5 years, I still find it hard to talk about. Now that it's officially happening, it feels weird. It seems like before was all just a game. Something we did for the fun of it. It never had meaning. Now....well, now it's just different.
And I can't explain it.
But, I can explain how grateful I am for Bossman. I am grateful that he has taken on this challenge and that he is willing to put up with me! I couldn't possible imagine a life without him.
Can I ask for more than that? I could, but I don't want to be selfish! ;)

a wonderful gift.
11 years ago today, at 5:35pm, I received the best gift. This gift was something I had hoped for and dreamed about.
This gift was 7lbs and 7oz and was 20 inches long.
This gift was my little man.
My little man isn't so little anymore. He's 5'2 and around 110 pounds.
He's smart, funny and very absent-minded. I've taken to calling him the absent-minded professor. He'd forget to breath if it didn't come naturally!
He's a red-head...so he has a fiery temper. But he's incredibly sensitive and caring. He is an animal lover but cats are his favorite.
My son is everything a mother could hope for. When he was a baby he had Winnie the Pooh for his theme in his room. I know he's getting too old for such things, but this song reminds me of him every time I hear it!
Happy birthday Little man! Mom loves you very much!
Friday Fill-ins
And...here we go!
1. It's cold and cloudy today.
2. BLT's would not be good without tomatoes.
3. My favorite health and beauty product is Olay complete all day moisture lotion.
4. Last weekend Bossman and I took a nice long ride.
5. Well, first of all, I did NOT have an attitude! And second of all, you should NOT have spanked me for it.
6. Bossman and I; those were the cast of characters in a recent dream and it was HOT.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging out with the little man, tomorrow my plans include having a birthday party for the little man and Sunday, I want to lay around and do NOTHING!

Gratitude Wednesday and an Update
Ok, so I missed Tuesday. 3 day weekends tend to throw me off and so I forgot that yesterday was Tuesday.
So, it may be a day late, but I'm always grateful no matter what the day.
Today is the Q's.
Quiet: I love my time alone. I love the quietness. I don't get much of that these days and I miss it terribly!
Quarters: I love that 4 make a dollar! Who doesn't like money?
Quilts: Warm quilt, hot chocolate, and a cozy fire...too bad winter is over.
Quiver: Bossman makes me quiver.
Quickie: Quickies are a great way to reconnect when time is short.
Well, I guess that is all I can think of right now. Q's are hard!
~spanking update~
So, spankings are alive in my house. Bossman has been more interested in pursuing the d/d aspect of our relationship. He's been spanking more for attitude and for things that I have promised to do and didn't do and stuff like that.
It's hard to put it into words. All along spanking has been part of me and how I'm wired, but it's never really been serious in our relationship. I've never taken it too seriously because whenever I did I would end up disappointed that things didn't work the way I wanted them to work.
Nothing like "topping" from the "bottom"...LOL
I really have been trying to put this all out on a post, but as usual, life has stepped in. I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on the computer. Whenever I do, I seem to be playing catch up on emails and such. AND...now that we are looking for a house, I've been spending lots of time looking for houses.
So, I'm sorry for the lack of posts. I will be back. I just don't know when. I feel like I have a lot to say, but I can't get it all out.
I hope you all are doing well. I miss you guys!
HUGS!

Friday fill-ins
This week has been CRAZY!
I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but my son...the little man...he's the absent-minded Professor! This past week, we've had to re-do half of his school work that he either lost or didn't do. This kid is a honor-roll student and yet he was getting D's in some of his work because he LOST some of the stuff. I gave him money for a picture pack that they took at school......he lost it! I helped him with a report...he left it in his room. Two days this week I've had to drive him back to school because he forgot something he needs!
Normally, I let him suffer the consequences, but we are talking end of the year grades, so I couldn't just let this stuff go.
Needless to say, I've had to do 5th grade homework ALL week! I'm so glad it's a 3 day weekend!
Hopefully I'll have more time to write next week.....
Until then, enjoy my Friday Fill-ins and have a great weekend!
1. Moving to a new house, is in my future.
2. I like things that are free.
3. My best quality is being practical, which also drives Bossman crazy.
4. I need all the details. Otherwise I will stress over them.
5. In nearly 10 years, I'll be 50 and fabulous.
6. Motivation is what I need right now!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to catching up on all my shows, tomorrow my plans include spending the day with Bossman as the kids all have plans elsewhere and Sunday, I want to go look at houses! Did I mention that Bossman and I are buying our first home?

Peter did what??
I decided to post a story I wrote on October 10, 2006. This was what I used for Gratitude Tuesday and I enjoy it so much I thought I'd post it again.
I really am trying to write a decent post. I promise...I have written some words and everything. I promise, I will post it soon! Until then...enjoy my blast from the past....
Today is Gratitude Tuesday! In celebration of P I wrote a little story. Enjoy!
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Peter Piper privately peered over the peppers and saw Pattie. Pattie poked her pert patooty playfully out. Pattie was predominately a party girl, but Peter was a party pooper. Peters palm itched to paddle Patties patooty. Peter predicted Pattie would protest. But Peter persisted. Pattie was placed over Peters pickle barrel. Patties piercing protest was heard practically every place. Pattie professed her purity but Peter persisted. Peters paddle popped Patties patooty plenty. Peter pronounced Patties patooty perfect. Suddenly Peters package poked partially out. After Peter paddled Pattie, Peter poked Pattie with his penis. Peter and Pattie produced Peggy and Patrick.
Peter purposely paddled Patties patooty patiently, particularly pouncing on problems that plagued Pattie. Peter and Pattie were pleasantly pleased with their peculiar predicament. Their permanent pleasure was pleasing to all parties.
Peter and Pattie lived happily ever after.
Only one question remains...
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
Other P's that I just love:
Penis
packages
pens
plans
penguins
power
penetration
paddles
ponds
plays
programs
pencils
plans
planets
powder
plants
pure
prizes
privacy
people
party
P's I'm not so fond of:
poop
pimples
pricks
porcupines
pennies (they just annoy me..OK?)

New toy and friday fill-ins
I've been trying to write a decent post and nothing seems to be working. Things are good with us and Bossman has really decided to push the d/d. I just can't seem to write down my feelings. I guess I need to process them more before I can share them with you guys.
Until then, I wanted you to see the "toy" that Bossman came home with. I am always surprised when he shows an interest in spanking. It's going to take me some time to get used to the fact that he is now interested and it's more than just a passing phase. So I was quite surprised when he came home with these.....
As you can see, I put the remote between them, so you can understand fully how BIG those are.
They are thin wood, so I have a feeling they will make quite a noise when used. I will report exactly how they work when we get a chance to use them. Until then, let's all just stare at them....
Ok, on to Friday fill-ins. According to the website these are quotes having to do with spring. I will make them my own.
1. If we had no winter I would miss hearing all my friends complain about the snow.
2. My life is a perpetual astonishment.
3. If I had my life to live over I would go to college.
4. I will be bouncing in a bounce house inside of four and twenty hours.
5. If you've never been thrilled you've never had kids.
6. To be interested in the changing seasons you'd have to live somewhere where the seasons actually change.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having the youth group at our house, tomorrow my plans include celebrating the little angels 2nd birthday and Sunday, I want to hug Bossman and the wildchild when they get home from the races!
Everyone have a great weekend!
Until then, I wanted you to see the "toy" that Bossman came home with. I am always surprised when he shows an interest in spanking. It's going to take me some time to get used to the fact that he is now interested and it's more than just a passing phase. So I was quite surprised when he came home with these.....

O my!
Let's see....
What O things do I like?
Ocean: I love the Ocean, I would hate not living near it. It's a place of great reflection. I tend to remember how very small I am when I am standing by the ocean. Feeling small is not always a bad thing. Feeling small helps keep perspective on lifes problems. It helps to know that my problems may not be as big as I make them.
Orange juice: I don't like coffee, so I love my orange juice. It's like starting the day with a glass of sunshine!
Orgasms: Does this need an explanation?
Octopus: I could really use 8 arms sometimes.
On button: How would we function if things didn't have an On button?
Ordinary: Ordinary people, ordinary house, ordinary car, these things make me comfortable.
On top: I'll have whipped cream on top, please!
online: I am so grateful to be online and be able to meet new people and to be able to connect with family and friends in a way that I never could before.
Well, the O's are fun but I am tired...so I will end it here.
Stay tuned. I think I'm ready to discuss the changes that have come into play in our relationship. Not only that, but you will NOT believe the "toy" that Bossman bought at the store the other day. We haven't used it yet...but YIKES! I'll post a picture of it soon!
Have a grateful day!

Friday-fill ins!
Thank you all for your wonderful birthday wishes! The day was great! My family came over for dinner and cake and they all gave me wonderful gifts. If you didn't read the comments from yesterday...here's what Bossman wrote.
"I wonder if Grace will mention that I made her blush tonight by putting in her birthday card that I owed her a birthday spanking. I think it was quite embarrassing for her to open that in front of her family looking at her. I got a kick out of it!!"
YES, it's true. He did right that in my birthday card and I think I turned 5 shades of red. It suddenly got very very hot in the room. Luckily, I didn't read that part aloud and I said the card was too mushy for them to read. As soon nobody was looking, I took that card and hid it under the presents, so nobody would try and read it. It was embarrassing, but the best part of the night. I loved it!
Well, that's it. I'm 41. Somehow I never thought I'd be in my 40's and here I am, 41. It's ok though....so far, so good!
On to Friday fill-ins!
1. Apples are to oranges as Facebook is to Myspace.
2. All backscratchers need to be burned and that's all I have to say about that.
3. I think I hear the left over birthday cake calling.
4. Proudly wave your American flag.
5. Do what you want to do, but suffer the consequences, if you don't do your chores.
6. Bossman came home and behind him was a Radio Flyer wagon; in the wagon was a bucket filled with backscratchers. (Grace took them in the back yard and burned them!)
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging at the house, tomorrow my plans include going to garage sales and Sunday, I want to sleep in!
Have a great weekend!
