Frustration

I am thrilled that my hubby actually agreed to give this lifestyle a shot. I am impressed that he made a rule, (I am not to leave the house without my cell phone, my car is too old and unreliable). And mad props go out to him for being consistent at enforcing the rule!

So what am I complaining about?

It is my only rule.

And even though it took two times, I learned my lesson. Unless I start to brat and intentionally leave my phone at home when I leave for work, I may never get spanked again! Which would be great if that meant my house was spotless and I had nothing but respect and obedience towards my husband, but unfortunately that is not always the case.

I suggested punishment when I need an 'attitude adjustment', he replied that sometimes he is snappy towards me and would feel bad punishing me for this.

I suggested punishment when the house starts to get messy. However my tolerance of a messy house and his tolerance are very different and I can't see it getting to the point that he needs to intervene. 

Anyone else deal with something like this? Did you or your HOH struggle with adding new rules?

My question for you... DD and dieting?

Dear Carbs,



Our relationship is over. You will be truly missed, and I will think about you daily... probably hourly. But you have come between me and my bikini for the last time! I love you dearly, your delicious breads and pastas and desserts, but it's just not working between us... particularly my a$$. Lets make this as easy as possible, just go, don't show up in my kitchen, stay away from my T.V. and just go.



It's not you, its me. This is going to be harder for me then you.
Good Bye Carbs.


So here is my question...
Have any of you used DD to encourage diet and exercise? Do you think that using it for such a thing is appropriate and did it work for you? We are so new to this, and really only talked about making the rules about promoting communication and ensuring safety. I'd love to hear what you are doing and what works or does not work for you.

I should be studying...

Despite the fact that I graduated from University 3 years ago... I have a test tomorrow. And rather than studying, I look more like this




Just swap the beer with a glass of wine and you've got me!
So I vow to take this advice



But since the test is tomorrow, that's probably not the best advice.

I'm not going to ask or even suggest it but I can think of one thing that might get me motivated...



Maybe I'll suggest that if I ever have another test!

Boy is my butt red!

After 6 months of asking/ convincing / begging M to try DD, I was very sceptical when he reluctantly agreed. I thought for sure that he was just agreeing to get me to shut up. However, I'm surprised how seriously he is taking this. I was also very surprised when he upgraded from his hand to the spoon.

And not just the regular spoon...



But one of this big thick Bamboo ones...




Ouch, boy is my butt red! Why exactly did I insist on this again???

But the making up afterwards was amazing... oh ya, that's why I wanted this. He held me, and hugged me, and told me how much he loved me. It was great and very unexpected.

I will think twice next time I leave the house with the gas light on and no cell phone!!

Hmm, I think I can get into this DD thing!

Today, the hubby and I spent an amazing, rare day together. He works midnights and I work days, which really limits the time we get to spend together during the week. However, I had the day off and M stayed awake all day so that we could get some errands done, and grab a late lunch. To top of a great day we stopped off at the driving range (it doesn't look like I will be going pro any time soon!!) On the way home we started talking about my recent landscaping challenge I have committed myself too. The previous owner of our home believed rocks and shrubs were the answer to everything. The shrub were never maintained and are overgrown. Last summer I started with a smaller garden in the back, which took me most of the summer to dig up the rocks... but I am very proud of the final product. This summer is the front. My dad came over yesterday to help M dig out the bushes. There were 3 in total, and I'm pretty sure each was the size of a small elephant. Now I am ready to dig up the rocks, break up the soil and plant something beautiful. I have been looking into different plants and designed what i want it to look like. When I start a project, I can be a little obsessive, not wanting to do anything else until my project is complete. M knows this about me, so this is what our conversation sounded like in the car.

M- "You are not to work in the garden today, it is too hot out now and I don't want you to get sick"

Me - "I just want to dig up the rocks while you are sleeping"

M - "No, it is too hot. You are not to work in the garden. We can work on it together in the morning. I think you should go shopping. Take $200 and go to the mall."

Me- "Fine, if you insist!"

Yard Work.....Shopping....

Really, its not to hard to be submissive and obey when you give me choices like that!!

My First Real Spanking

So as promised M gave me the first real spanking today.

Was for sassing back?
Noooo

Was if for keeping an untidy house?
Nooooooo

Was if for rolling my eye?
Nooooooooooo

Did I break one of the holy trinity? Disrespect, Disobedience, Dishonesty???
Nooooooooooooooooo

I forgot to replace the hand towel in the bathroom after removing the old one!!!!!! This drives him crazy and he has told me (once or maybe twice) not to forget again. I guess he meant it!!!!

Everybody Loves Ray

I was watching a rerun of Everyone Loves Ray as all the couples were talking about all the secret deceptive things they do to their partner when they are upset.

This conversation all started when Robert caught Pat smoking. Later, as the secret was revealed to the family Hank, with his very authoritative HOH voice demands to know how long this has been going on. Pat with her submissive/passive voice answers him "23 years." He begins the lecture (you know the lecture!) and demands to know why. Her reply... "To deal with you. If I didn't have my cigarettes, I think I would have to fight you." 

After the lecture continues for a few minutes everyone announces the different things the do to cope with each other.

Ray drives around the block a few times listening to music to prepare himself for Debra

Debra eats chocolate

Amy turns Robert toothbrush to the east, when he specifically puts it to the west

Pat (Amy's mom) smokes cigarettes

Hank (Amy's dad) blows things up

Marie announces...

 "I cant believe you all have to engage in this sort of behaviour just to deal with your partner, it's not healthy." 

Frank agrees and states... something along the lines of this... Ya when I cant stand Marie I tell her to shut my and make me a sandwich.

The family starts to discuss the dysfunctional relationship between Marie and Frank.

Marie's response:

"Do I smoke? Do I blow things up?"

Just goes to show how important communication is... 

and I couldn't help but wonder...

what would this show look like if the husbands spanked their wives?????

It probably would have been a 5 minute clip, rather than an 30... Starring Peter Paddle and Spencer Spoon.
