Menopause = Bravery Pills

I thought I was in menopause a few years back. I would love to smack that woman and laugh at her THEN idea of this .......


IN REALITY

Cataclysmic Event!  

Most of the time I am pretty respectful and kind.
I love my husband and enjoy being around him. Seriously. I know I am a bit high strung and feisty. However, in the last few months menopause has caused me to take what my Scotsman refers to as BRAVERY PILLS.  Ahem...yes....yes I do test the waters and often JUMP RIGHT IN! 

Lately though, I do not just put my big toe in.....Nope, this lady takes a giant running leap and 'cannon balls' right on in!

Let me interject a moment....Sometimes  my man can drive me bonkers. He doesn't always do what I think he should. Nor does he always pay attention when.... I BELIEVE he SHOULD!

Just so you get a clear picture.....
Recently I was upset with what I perceived was indifference to something I had fretted over. He did not walk in from work and immediately ask me what happened.....(terrible huh?)

I saw that as a testament of his lack of connection to my life. 

See where this is going? 

We had words... but he began asking the right questions.

The pills I had just popped..(Bravery)..allowed me to thwart his every attempt at being supportive (EVEN IF A BIT LATE)

I just remained on my phone....after he TOLD me to get off my phone--- and later he ordered me to... 

GIVE him said phone.

 I said 'NO.'

Well, he was not happy. He confiscated my phone and also smacked my behind. He did give me my phone back.

Forward wind...another time.....

He made a phone call to accept a dinner engagement...that was misunderstood. 

I DID NOT WANT HIM TO CALL..... I thought it was too late...to go for the specified time. We had been invited but were going to get an update as to time etc.....it didn't come....so I didn't want to embarrass this person.

He called and said, "all is well, no problem going!"

Now my oldest child ego took a handful of those 'Bravery Pills' POPPED  them and loudly proclaimed my annoyance.  

That was bad enough.....

However a side effect of those pills was me....

Wagging my finger and scrunching my red face at a shocked hubby. 

I was a little too close and Over I went across my Scotsman's Knees. He was just a TAD upset. My lower legs actually went up trying to protect my bum.... He quite determinedly said to put them down....After a bit, he could hear a smile begin to break as I realized my menopausal craziness and he let me up.

We had a lovely dinner! (Smile)

Now on to tonight....I came home from work. I was exhausted. He had been working in and outside the entire day. I took a nap all sweet and angelic.

Waking up I downed the entire bottle of 'Bravery pills' and cooking dinner began a snarky encounter with my man.  He was trying to be goofy and jokey....I was in the mood to poke the beast.

Maybe I OD'd on those pills because I responded to his threat of spanking with rolled eyes and.....

Crazy menopausal me...said, 'NO YOU WON'T.'

Things happened a bit fast.....LOL.

I was frog marched to our bedroom and upside down in seconds flat. He was slightly upset. Actually said HIS HAND hurt! Hmmmmmm.... I think my bottom was the loser in that encounter.  

The funny thing is.....We are absolutely fine! The spanking (s) helped as always. I know most of you get much harder spankings.....But when my Scotsman 'skelps' my behind, It rights my mood. He also feels better. 

However I am not refilling those Bravery Pills soon... :-)

Thanks for reading,
