Sentimental Saturday And A Birthday Spanking!

Sometimes when I am moody and cranky it takes me some time to resolve the reasons and process.

I have been struggling a little bit. Not serious life changing things. However unfortunately it is affecting my ability to carry on with some of my normal, relaxing, calming activities. In other words I am not drawing or reading much. I feel almost stagnated in my focus. I can be creative at work. I love the students. Yet, I am putting in so much emotional energy there, it makes me utterly exhausted. My desire also extends to helping my adult children as they navigate many of their life’s joys and difficulties. 

Every Saturday I spend several hours with my parents. Even when my mom has a bad day I adore spending time with them. Often my Scotsman comes with me. I am so appreciative of his support. He loves my parents and truly enjoys the time we have with them. Since he has been off work these past few months he often checks up on them during the week while I am at work. I can’t tell you what that means to me. Of course I do the same with his mom when she lives with us. 

Today though, I was struck once again at my guy’s gentle soul.

My mom’s Alzheimer’s has greatly progressed. Many times I am there while she sleeps, waking up slowly and often quite confused. Regularly a Saturday morning will find me making bread while my dad runs some errands. Mom and I will sometimes sing old songs like, Alexanders Ragtime Band or Dearie Do You Remember When…..Today my mom began asleep, but shortly thereafter joined us in the kitchen. I was making breakfast for hubby and mom….(even though she already ate earlier ;-))

Sometimes she gets the shakes in her arm and hand. The tremors frighten her and are uncomfortable. My dad will firmly and gently hold her hand in his until the shaking stops. When dad is gone we all hold moms hand until she feels comfortable. Often she asks where dad is every 5-10 minutes. She misses him whenever he is out of her sight.

I was flipping eggs when this happened to mom, and my loving Scotsman pushed his chair in front of mom to take her hand in his. She probably weighs all of 95 pounds, and is quite frail. His warm hand enveloped hers and made me almost tear up. Minutes later she smiled and said, “oh that was nice and warm!” 

He said, "Minelle has warm hands.....Then teasingly added--- warm hands cold heart!" (SO I would hear-- and of course laugh!)

Mom Said, "WATCH IT BUDDY!" Guess I was her favorite for that moment! LOL

Next mom noticed that all her necklaces and metals around her neck were tangled. I was buttering the toast. I looked up and My Scotsman was holding all of her chains and carefully untangling them.

There are times though that my darling can annoy the bejesus out of me even when I love him to BITS. The times he loudly proclaims he will put me over his knee…..and just in case I can’t hear his bellowing loud voice as well as everyone within a block radius--- he says it once again until I acknowledge in some way! (even cheekily) ;-)

I was irritated with him a bit later in the morn, he was intensely cleaning up a flooded plant….I was also mopping things up.

We shared words several times.

Later eating lunch with my parents I gave him the evil eye----my mom intercepted and said, “hey watch it, or I am going to dis-own you!” Sometimes she chastises me and says, “hey you better watch it.” I know who her new favorite is! LOL

Oh--- on to his (mine) Birthday spanking!

We had a fantastic Birthday celebration for my darling Scotsman! He was the recipient of a sports jersey that literally almost made him cry!

Later in the evening our son went out with friends so we were able to move on to the adult portion of the evening.

I was told to lay myself across his knees while he sat up against the headboard of our bed. My Scotsman started spanking slowly and as he progressed a bit more intensely he laughingly said, “oops I lost my count, I need to start again!” He continued on harder, but stopping along the way to rub away the sting. Things began to progress naturally and we were fully engaged romantically. 

Guess what happened next?? 

If you said someone interrupted the ‘other’ birthday present….

You would be correct.

Our daughter called. Unfortunately we could not delay that call and needed to take it. 

Picture us sitting in various stages of undress in slightly compromising positions….while on speaker phone.

 Ugh!

The good thing is that we are pros at being interrupted and are able to once again jump right back in!

I think all in all that he enjoyed his Birthday Spanking, and so did I!

Thanks for reading,

Minelle
