I've been busy!

I didn't realize it had been so long geez! I was sick for a couple weeks and that really threw things off.

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.I cooked and our neighbor joined us.After the neighbors left we sat around in our 'fat clothes' and watched football and played a few family games it was really nice.I was just glad Shannon got to spend the day with us we weren't sure he'd even be home.I also enjoyed having the kids home.I can't wait for their Christmas break....or summer for that matter lol!

Friday morning Shannon got called out for a job so I did some shopping alone.We usually do it together and I prefer it that way.I didn't venture too far and got back home around noon.I usually put up the tree the first weekend in December but the kids couldn't wait this year so as soon as I got home we put it up.Josh and I had already got a huge jumpstart on the lights so we finished those too.Now we just need to get a few yard ornaments put out and we're done woohoo!

J has basketball practice at 6am all week...I'm not enjoying being up at the butt crack of dawn.I have to have J there at 6 then come home and take K for her practice at 7am.I think I'd prefer after school practice again.K's first game is next week and I can't wait!We thought J was having a week long tournament but they took the 7th and 8th grade out of it...:(

I started my Chantix today!!! The smoking thing has been going pretty good I had a couple days that I didn't meet my goal but by the time Shannon came home I was sick and by the time I was well it had been way to long to deal with it.Getting sick helped me to smoke alot less and so far so good.I'm down to about 6-8 a day which is good compared to when I started.All that was done pre-meds so it should get better from here.I'm sure I'll start feeling like crap when the meds get in my system and I hate that part.In the end it will be worth it though:)

The high school football season is over.

We had our last football game Friday night.The weather would have been great had it not been for the wind blowing like crazy.We won though and that was nice!We haven't had the best team this last couple years.We just started playing 11 man before that we played 8 man,so the change has been difficult for the boys.I'm confident we will get better and better though!

K was in cheer camp all week and they did the half time show...it was so cute!I got pics but no video as I didn't realize I was out of tape.K has done cheer camp for the last four years I think and she loves it so much.It is always nice to watch her work so hard in such a short time to get all the moves just right.

We finally got all the halloween decorations taken down and packed back up phew!I thought it would be a great idea to put up Christmas lights while it was so pretty this week....what was I thinking lol!I will be glad I did when it is freezing outside,but for now J and I are stressing over getting them all up.Shannon usually does it and we just help,but this year it's just us....here's to hoping we don't screw it up lol!

I'll update on the smoking tomorrow maybe.This morning I need to make my babies some breakfast.

Halloween weekend and an update

Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! My sister and her family got in Friday evening and we had lots of fun talking and having a few drinks.Saturday we all got up had to get all ten of us showered and dressed by lunch time,which wasn't easy lol!Then we did some last minutes shopping and started setting up for the party.The party went really well and the kids were all sweet enough to let me take pictures of them as they showed up.Later on in the evening the kids all went in a big group trick or treating us parents finally had some time to relax...we were beat! That night we all went to bed somewhat early.All in all it went pretty well and now I will spend the next week taking down all the decorations...at least the weather will be pretty.I have actually thought about hanging the Christmas lights early because of the nice weather instead of hanging them when it's freezing like we usually do.

K starts cheer camp this week so it will be hectic in the evenings.The little kid's basketball games are starting soon...I can't wait!!! I'm not ready for the traveling but I am excited about seeing them play.Plus an indoor sport and NOT freezing my butt off seems nice.We haven't had kids in basketball in about 6 years or so so this will feel new.

Update on my smoking-I met my second goal woohoo! Now we will have daily goals and it get's a bit harder but I feel prepared.I've changed from my menthol just because it's harder to quit menthol than regular.That has been good and bad.I don't want to smoke as many so that's good but they irritate my throat a bit and my chest is feeling a bit tight....I guess that could still be good considering that's why I'm smoking less{wink}

Anyway busy day today cleaning up from the weekend and grocery shopping.My luch date got cancelled with Shannon so that stinks but maybe next time.

update

I said I'd do a quick update.I'm crazy busy today so that's all I'll have time for.I reached my goal woooohooo! I actually reached it rather easily so that's good.

Have a safe and HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!!!!!

Smoking..well quiting actually

I got Chantix the other day while I was at the doctor.The medicine is sitting there waiting for me to start it which won't be until the 15th of November.I'm working on cutting back right now.Shannon and I sat down and discussed a plan,goals that sorta thing.I'm happy to have his help but I'm struggling with whether or not it's the right time.Shannon's job is in the air and the Holidays are coming up quick so many things actually.Hopefully it will be the right time and it will all go well.The weight gain has got me freaking out a bit.I gained thirty pounds last time I quit ugh!

My first goal was to make two packs last a tad over two days...seems easy enough right?It might have been but I had a horrible night last night and didn't sleep much which meant being up more and smoking more.It's not looking so good right now.I'm just going to be really careful today and try to reach the goal.I'll update tomorrow.It may be a quick update because it's going to be a busy day.My sister is coming up tomorrow with her family and spending the weekend with us.I'm so excited about it! They will be here for our halloween party which will be really cool.Friday night we are going to the haunted corn maze...I'm not all that excited about that lol!The kids will have a blast though I'm sure and that's the most important thing anyway.

The cute thing that happen last night with the kiddos.....K needed to get her costume ready so she was taking a long black robe thingy and sorta chopping it a bit.J being the sweet bubba he is decides to put it on himself and he stood on a stool while she walked around making cuts....and bossing him around of course lol!I snapped a few pics it was too cute to pass up lol!

Sports and more sports!

The football season is winding down.J's season is over,T only has a few more games left.The little ones will be playing basketball.Our kids haven't played basketball in ages so this should be interesting!

J has made a complete turn around this year and I'm so thankful.He's keeping his grades up and working really hard...and staying out of trouble!I was really worried about the little ones being moved up to the big school but so far it's been a good thing.

Things at Shannon's job have been crazy.They say they will be shutting the doors soon.We don't know if he will get a transfer or what.We are keeping our fingers crossed and will deal with whatever comes.I won't say it isn't scary though!

On a different note...my inner spanko has been released....it's weird but fun and I'll leave it at that {wink}

Getting ready for Halloween

We spent the last few days getting the carport ready for the halloween party.The last few years we have had to fight the wind.This year we decided to build a false wall.The wall makes it much better.We had wind,rain and cold weather and it didn't stop us one bit from putting up some of the decorations.

My crew goes crazy over halloween...weirdos lol!Shannon got out all the fog machines and strobe lights and tried it all out.I will admit it was pretty cool! The kids were getting off the bus about the time we had it really going.The bus driver thought our house was on fire lol!The only down side is the two little kids won't go out in the carport alone now lol!I'm sure Shannon will spend every minute of his spare time working on it and coming up with new creepy ideas all the way up to the time for the party.

We decided to do pizza this year again.It was wayyy easier than me making a bunch of stuff.I will be making punch and a couple desserts/snacks.I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet but I want it to go with the theme (chop shop)so it's gotta be good...something with body parts maybe?

Anyway it was nice to spend a couple days together doing something fun!He's back to work now but it all goes well and he gets his three day weekend next week it should be fun.The kids have fall break then which means they will have a four day weekend so it should be some nice family time.I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he will be off!

The spanking

It was the reconnection.He apologized for not doing it before and we talk about it some.It wasn't bad as far as spankings go and it was a tad on the fun side.He had purchased a new paddle yesterday and decided to 'test' it out and see if it would make a good paddle for 'nice' spankings.It's very thin so there is no thud at all. The sting vary's a great deal so it could be nice for sure depending on how it's used.Ok that's about as much as I'm willing to say about it lol!

The whole situation got me thinking about some things.One thing is DD is hard sometimes..everyone knows that lol!Why do things get off without spankings?Why was I feeling stupid that it didn't happen rather than say RELIEVED?Why did he become distant when it didn't happen?I guess I feels strange about those things sometimes..it feels kinda messed up!I'm not in the mood to try an figure those things out today though and I'm not sure I really care why it's that way.It works for us so I'm going with that.

Have a good day everyone! I gotta clean bathrooms

What the heck???

Ok so I'm talking to my hubby on the phone while trying to get all my housework done and I say yea I need to blog after I'm done with my stuff.He says no you can wait till after your spanking tonight and blog about it tomorrow....say what? Who said I wanted to blog about that or anything like that.Writing about spanking in general is one thing but writing about a certain spanking is always hard.Then of course now my wheels are turning because I wasn't thinking of this spankings as 'blogable'..is that a word?Now I'm wondering what this spanking is all about...yikes!

Since I will be blogging about it tomorrow I'll give you a bit of background as to how it came about.The last few weeks Shannon has put in alot of hours and been away mostly.We both got busy doing our own things and there was just this tiny disconnect between us nothing big at all.We were getting along just fine and this kind of disconnect(not sure if that's the word that even fits)is pretty normal when we are not seeing each other much.Shannon came to me ummm Friday I believe and said he wanted to give a spanking just a reconnection and nothing big.We discussed it and I agreed...let me stop for a second and say I don't usually agree it's not that I disagree it just that when faced with it it very rarely seems like a good idea{wink}I decided to be totally honest this time and say that yea I felt like he was right and that it was a good idea.I won't go into all the silly details but basically it didn't happen and I was feeling really hmmm.....stupid I guess.At that point there was a big wedge between us rather than the tiny disconnect we had going on before.All that led to him getting upset and saying that later that night we would have a meeting that would involve snakebite.We went to a game in Magum and got back late so no spanking again and again the wedge got much bigger.Stupid things were said and then it was dropped and we had a wonderful weekend together in spite of it all.That brings us to this morning when he calls and says I will be home this evening and you and I are taking a 'drive'(that's code for driving somewhere and getting spanked)I know I said it last time and it didn't happen but unless I'm on a job it will happen so be prepared.

In my mind I was thinking it would be the 'reconnection' that didn't happen but after him saying that I would blog about it tomorrow I'm not so sure.Am I in trouble for some of those 'stupid things' that were said?Did I handle it all wrong?Is he yanking my chain and it will actually be the reconnection?Is this some sorta submission excersise?This kinda thing can drive a girl crazy!!!!

Nice visit with my sis

I had a nice visit with my sister.They actually stayed an extra day!! There was alot going on that weekend we were hoping to get out and do a few things.Her hubby is more of a cookout and stay home kinda guy so we did that instead.It was fun just to relax with them a bit and enjoy each others company.I did my first jager bomb...not bad! Oh and C(my sis) made jalepeno poppers they were soooo yummy!!!The kids had fun just hanging out.

Puppy number two didn't come along until after my sister went back home so we may be going to Texas this weekend to take him to them.They are cooking for us this time wooohooo!If we can't get down there I will have to meet her halfway....the puppy has to go to his new home!I have enjoyed being a part of getting these boys for my sister but I'm sorta glad it's over.Puppies are such a handfull!

We found out a couple days ago that they are taking away Shannon's salary and he goes hourly.It's stressful but still just thankful he has a job.Some weeks he will come out better .....of course then there are those other weeks.It is now my job to try an figure out where we can pinch a few penny's.I spent the day yesterday making some homemade laundry detergent and other cleaning stuff....I'm still looking into other things that may save a bit too.

T got her permit.Poor girl she failed the first time but she took it really well and we went back the next day and she passed.... she is sooo excited!! I however am just not ready for this phase but I probably never would be so it's ok.

Have a great day everyone!!!

My sis is coming up.

My sister asked me a couple months ago to help her look for a puppy for her kiddos.I found her one and now she is coming to pick him up.It won't be a long visit they should be here tomorrow around noon-ish and will leave around that time Sunday.... so not long,but I'm so excited to see them.Of course it has been a crazy busy week so I don't have near the stuff ready for company.The games and SWAT meetings are kicking my butt.Wednesday was the only evening we had no activities.Tonight is the highschool game...if I'm lucky I will make it to a concert afterwards lol!

I have enjoyed all the craziness though.Seeing J so excited over making a tackle,T excited over helping Ryder(a little 6th grader) with his trombone she is so hard on that little guy but everytime he sees her his eyes light up, he even sat by her during the whole game yesterday ...it's cute!K she has been such a mess lately she cracks me up lol!

Shannon....the poor guy has been working like crazy.I've been missing him but I'm trying really hard to have all my stuff done everyday so he knows I'm working hard at the things we agreed to even if he isn't home for days ugh!.He has been pleased so far:)

While he is away and busy I will slip in a vent about a new 'weapon' he has.....I named it snakebite,no laughing I can name them what I want:)It's basically an OTK lexan cane...Triple ugh!!!! It's one of those 'weapons' that just feels wrong.It doesn't feel like I'm being spanked it feels.....I cant even explain it! It 's like being bit by something the bite hurts then comes the poisen!!!! He uses it like a cane(not like nasty caning).He goes slow and with force.So I did something I have NEVER done.I ask him if he would use it a bit different.First I said not so hard and he just looked at me like yea right you gotta give me something lol! So we agreed on faster and not so hard.Man I may regret that what do you think?? I had to do something, we are working on me taking spankings better than I have in the past.I'm doing really good I must say..that is until snakebite appears then all my hard work goes right out the window.I'll update how the new way works unless by some miracle it disappears soon{wink}

Misty

Wow it's been awhile!

I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted anything geez.Shannon has been on vacation for two weeks and things have been busy but fun!His vacation ends tonight and just the other day we found out they had another layoff at his job so that means no days off for the guys left.I can't complain I'm thankfull he still has a job.There is a chance he could be going out of town two weeks at a time soooo not looking forward to that ugh!!

We got T a car while he was off.That hit me a bit harder than I thought...they are getting so big I'm not sure how we got here so fast!

The kids started school and things have been busy with that.T's in band for the HS, J will play football for the JH and K will be playing basketball busy busy stuff!

We met the 'brat' during this vacation.It was a blast....I already miss her like crazy! I was on my best behavior and she was a total brat of course.No just kidding!I Can't wait to do it again.Maybe next year we can make it to her part of the world.

No DD stuff this although lots has been going on...maybe I'll post about it later I'm too tired tonight.

meeting a friend!

I have been busy doing lots of cleaning and getting ready for school still.I went to get J drug tested and the lady in the office was rude.I walked out.If they want me to take time out of my schedule before school actually starts to do something that makes it easier for them, I suggest they learn how to treat people.Ugh!!! I will stop there lol! Anyway I will finish up school clothes shopping tomorrow woohoo then we will be all set.

It's countdown time!!! I have one week left till I meet 'the brat' I can't wait! We have no major plans, we are flying by the seat of our pants...it will be a blast no matter what I just know it! K and her little girl have been talking on the phone so I know K is just as excited as I am,it's all she talks about.Shannon on the other hand I'm pretty sure he is getting worried.He has this crazy idea that we might pull a prank on him.Like we would even think such a thing humf! I would usually be a ball of nerves being that we have never met face to face,but I'm not I feel as though we have known each other for years.

Not much going on here otherwise.My butt is getting a break after Shannon was home for three days(it wasn't all bad{wink})

Misty

Where did the summer go?

Man this summer is flying by! It doesn't help that school is starting almost a week ealier than I thought.I should pay more attention lol! That means lots of school clothes shopping ugh!The two little ones aren't so bad,but T is way difficult! Gotta love teens.She's a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl(wonder where she gets that from)but I want her to have cute t-shirts at least.Hopefully she will be set before school starts lol! I was really hoping to home school this year...so I'm a bit bummed.We decided with the economy and lack of job security it was better to hold off.Shannon also wants to give J a chance in the new jr.high/high school first.All I can hope is the change is what he needs.The 6th grade also got moved up this year...not so comfortable with that.I think the kids are a bit to young to be thrown in with the older kids and all that comes with that.We will see it will be a year full of changes that's for sure!

We found out recently some friends of ours are getting divorced.They have been a couple since high school and have two kiddos....so sad. I have spoke with the wife a few times and she is clearly devastated.It's tough I just don't really know what to say.

Two in a row..wow!

No not two spankings in a row,two post lol!

Shannon and I had an interesting talk yesterday.We were actually talking about another couple were the guy brought DD to the women and now they are struggling a bit.Shannon and I like to say we stumbled onto DD together.Many moons ago when we were married about 6 months or so Shannon spanked for the first time.I was shocked to say the least and I did pack my bags.Mostly because at the time I didn't know what else to do,but I never felt like it was some big terrible thing he had done.I knew almost instantly that it worked...as for why it works, I still don't know to this day lol!I have always kinda dealt with it by saying it works for US and leaving it at that.Over the last couple years I have started to have this battle within myself of hating the fact that I do need this.

To make a long story short during our talk yesterday Shannon was saying that we both know I'm wired for this and if I would just own that it would make things much easier.I totally agree with him, in a way we are lucky in the fact that we are both wired so there shouldn't be as much insecurity with it.....not always the case though.I'm going to do my best to just be honest with myself and him about my needs.He however came up with something he would like for me to do.Twice a month I have to ask for a spanking one can be simple and for anything I want and the other has to be on the serious side.The good part is I can let him know by text or a note on his pillow.I don't actuslly have to say the words phew! Not doing this twice a month will be punishable though YIKES! I'm still not sure how I will ever be able to do this but I'm going to try real hard.

Now I need a recording that says 'you can do this'lol!
Misty

I really don't know when to shut up!

I need a tape recording constantly saying 'shut-up Misty'.We got a bill in not long ago that was on the high side and I was supose to call and find out about it like three days ago.So here is the convo this morning:

him:Why is the bill so high?

me:I don't know it's probably charges from before we changed the plan.

Him:Yea but why so much,the long distance was only 30 something?

me:I DON'T KNOW Shannon I can't explain the bill I don't understand it myself.I'll just call them.

him:You need to. You should have done it three days ago.

me:I KNOW!

him:Well you didn't do it!

ME:FINE I didn't!

So I go call and get it as fixed as I can and while I'm on there I decide to find out what I should do with the extra box they sent me(I was supose to call a couple weeks ago and forgot!)I swear that's the only part of my like 20 minute conversation with the lady that he heard.I get off the phone and his first question....So you never called about the box like I ask you to?I tell him I forgot and start cleaning fast.I guess hoping he'd forget all about it.He doesn't forget and tells me he is going to spank me for my 'attitude' that morning and begins to lecture about not sending the box back.At some point in the talk I say WHATEVER .....Not a good idea!He tells me my spanking will be much worse now,although not in those exact words.

The kids go swimming(which they always do when I don't need privacy)I always no it's not going to be good when HE drops my pants ugh!He lectures me about how he isn't going to put up with my attitude and something about if I ever say whatever to him again......I don't really remember that part my bottom was already on fire!After he felt he made his point, he tells me to go get the strap and finishes with that.He did show some mercy because I went and got it without complaining...Have I mentioned I hate the strap with a passion!

Why is it I always see where I went wrong after the fact,but in the moment I'm clueless.

We did have a lovely date.We went to a peaceful dinner and then to the park to feed the ducks. We had a nice talk on the way home and some new things are on the horizon. I may post about it later(or maybe not lol!)

Misty

It seems like a good place to start

I wasn't going to start this off with a DD post,but it seems to fit.

Shannon and I aren't new to DD.It started about 6 months after we were married before we knew it had a name or that others actually did it.It's changed many times over the years as we changed and as our relationship grew.

Recently we took a break... actually I prefer to say a step back so we could see things more clearly.We have had a bit of a tough time the last two years and it was definantly time to put that behind us and move forward.We had been trying,but it's like writing an essay and trying to find the right words...after you have erased and started over on the same piece of paper it becomes a bit messy.Sometimes it's better to just get a new piece of paper.

I was pretty worried about the break and what it might do to our marriage.I thought maybe we would be making things worse.I was wrong.The break gave us what we needed and now we are ready to move forward.The one thing we did realize during our break is that we need DD,he needs it,I need it,our marriage needs it.We just need it differently now due to some change and growth in our relationship.

So yesterday we sent the kiddos to the pool for a few hours.It gave us time to talk,take care of a spanking,and cuddle.I really don't think I could describe the spanking if I tried.It was so many things in one...most of all perfect!


New start...new blog..it fit right?

just checking!

Hmmm does it work?
