Well swats…Really!
I know when
life is getting too busy for me!
It is
often when I start screwing up. (Like when I wear clothes inside-out) I forget important commitments, never people,
but activities or crucial promises of my time.
Each day begins at the crack of
dawn…and I am pulled many ways….like everyone else I know-- but….
Sometimes….
Maybe I
forget to teach my night class…Yep happened twice in the not too distant past!
( To be honest the students cancelled twice on me so these were add-ons)
Maybe I
forget to contact someone to fire the kiln at a class I teach. (Sigh) My day is
so packed this happens often, and then it is too late to fix the problem.
I have to
use my own money to order supplies because my time is so limited I need to
hurry and get it immediately, instead of anticipating my needs…Therefore I need
to wait for reimbursement…(If I do not misplace the receipt)
And….maybe I
don’t want to take the car in to have the fluids topped off because that is his
job…..So I drive without wind shield wiper fluid… Not again…. I know it is
DANGEROUS…LOL
So to get to
the point…My Scotsman always swats and tosses me over his knee when I am snarky…etc.
But often the stress is still there! Surprised?
Friday we
were going to meet a couple to have dinner and drinks at an Irish pub.
Entertainment and dancing were on the agenda! So were TWO Martinis! Ahem….After
one drink before food my guy noticed my…FIESTINESS! I was just relaxing and
feeling GOOD!
Dinner was
ordered…..and I ordered another Martini….I think this is where he threatened to
turn me over his knee right then and there…smiling with a "certain" look in his eye.
I said… “No
you won’t”
He said, “You
taking bravery pills?”
I smiled…..Yes
I did…nicely though….
We ate
dinner and I nursed my second Martini. (see?)
The music
began and I was bursting to dance. (Stress relief..here I come) We made our way
to the floor. He took my right hand and grasped it up near his shoulder, his
right arm around my waist and a hand on my back.
The song was
one that many may dance alone or close together! I wanted to (and did) wiggle
(To the faster beat) against his slower LEAD (to the slower beat).
He whispered,
“Come closer and slow down…, let me set the pace.”
I didn’t really
listen….No I wasn't hearing him...
SMACK! His
hand came down on my bottom!
Holy cow! I
looked up and around! No one seemed shocked!
Sheesh! I was red faced and maybe slowed down immediately!
He always
surprises me!
We finished
our dance in harmony!
