Time seems to be picking up speed as it usually does this
time of year. I’m nearly ready with gifts and wrapping and such. Less ready
with decorations. Since we keep them up through the first week or two in
January for the boys to come for Christmas, I hate to get them up too early.
Things are peaceful here. But Nick and I don’t seem to see
much of one another. Many days he is taking supper up to his dad. On the days
he’s home at supper time, I’m often visiting with his mom. By the time we’re
both home and settled he’s snoozing in his chair. It’s not going to be better
any time soon. One of sister is having surgery in early January and the other,
an accountant, begins her pre-tax working until 8 or 9 every day. But we plug
on. MIL will be 93 this month. FIL is 96 and his brother turned 100 last month.
Longevity lives!
Now one thing did happen you might be interested in. My ultra-busy
schedule (of sitting on my butt for long stretched doing nothing) kept me from
getting my laundry put away in my 24-hour window. Nick noticed. Bringing
Blondie’s paddle into the living room with him he suggested I might remember
better if I bent over and took hold of the laundry basket and stared at it to
help get my transgression in my mind.
Fine, fine, I went along willingly. But as the spanking
progressed I had a strong urge to say something. Gratefully we have been doing
this long enough for me to have the sense to wait until he finished. But once I
was up and the paddle down I had to tell him the truth (honesty is the best
policy). So, I said,
“Thank you, honey. I'll get this put away right now. And by the
way, you are shitty at warm-ups!”
I realize not many participating in TTWD could get away with
a statement like that. But it was 100% truthful! Nick laughed and offered to
start over, but I declined. I guess the poor man can’t be good at everything.
Don’t get so wound up in holiday preparations and forget to
take care of yourselves. If you do I hope your HOH turns you up and paddles you
good! Maybe you should read a good book, I have some I could suggest…
Hi PK, I haven't done a thing towards Christmas yet, argh. Wow, Nick certainly does come from a long lived family!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, well it's great Nick remembered. Just as well you waiting for the paddle to be put down before making that comment lol

Yep they're around forever, and I love them dearly. He did remember and I do know when to keep my mouth shut.
DeleteHi Pk, funny you should remind us of things not to say at certain times. I am thinking of something that happened to me yesterday. I feel a little post coming on.
ReplyDeletelove Jan, xx
I'm looking forward to reading it!
DeletePK it is a busy time here also. Nick seems to be taking care of things more these days, I'd watch what I said though. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness he knew I was teasing him.
DeleteIf Nick is spanking, then you need to get down on your knees to thank the patron saint of spanking, Saint Azotaina. I have been sending spanking prayers your way, my friend.
ReplyDeleteMuch Love,
Ella
I thank you for your prayers. They seem to be working.
DeleteI would hope so too especially since I screwed up the table again. Hope springs eternal.
ReplyDeleteI can't even see our table!
DeletePK,
ReplyDeleteGive a prayer of thanks here. HE is doing the best he can and should be celebrated.

He's being a doll.
DeleteThank you for making me laugh. I am not quite sure that I would say that to Ty because he probably would start over. Glad my paddle is getting used.
ReplyDeleteI knew it could go either way, but I lucked out this time. It's had a good workout lately.
DeleteI did have to laugh when I read your comment to Nick regarding warmups. Yup...that would have gotten me a do-over...not an offer I could refuse. LOL Congrats to both of you for Nick trying.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings...Cat
I love this man, but truly his warm-ups need work!
DeleteSounds like you're having a lot of fun! Tell me, I looked at Blondie's paddles. They're beautiful. But, do they hurt as much as the bath brush? That thing is really awful!
ReplyDeletePersonally I don't think anything hurts more than the bath brush except maybe the cane. When used by a loving husband, Blondies paddles are very nice.
DeleteHow smart of Nick getting you to lean over the laundry basket; sounds like he’s getting into his groove! Good thing you waited till he’d finished before making your comment.
ReplyDeleteRosie xx
oh i've hollered "warm up Daddy, warm up!!!" often enough. sometimes he obliges. :) good that you got what you needed!
ReplyDeletethis made me smile :-) yeah, mine is not great at warm-ups either...but if he offered any sort of spanking I would accept willingly...meanwhile I will just keep letting the laundry sit and see what happens ;-) Hugs
