From Wicked to Contentment

Something wicked this way came.....


Sir has been traveling.  Not a long trip.  But while he was away, it feels like there has been a revolt.
From younger, from older, from me!

My kids have intermittently pitched ROYAL fits.  It has taken all of the will power I can muster to not loose my patience.

I've had a RUN-IN with my mother and was ... um .... what's just a shade past irate?

I had to sell something large which is a wickedly stressful thing for me.  I hate loathe dickering for prices, and as an added bonus, I suck at it.

Oh, and last night before bed Sir mentioned in passing that well after a decade of a tradition with my kids, his ENTIRE family has magically all decided to do something different, without conversation with ... I don't know ... THE PARENTS!

UGH.

Where is this going you ask?  Well. . .
I slept well last night.  Yea!
Sir comes home today.  Yea!

And.  And.

I just hung up the phone and told him that I was bitchy and belligerent.  I'm clearly in a mood.  I KNOW it will pass.  I KNOW I will get over it.  I KNOW parents will be parents...

...and I have some sympathy because I am one...
...but I need to remember NOT to pull the same shit with my children and their kids when they have them.

I want the comfort of submission.  No, it's not comfort.  It's...CONTENTMENT.  That's the word.  I am content, at ease, comfortable - peaceful even - when I am living in that head space.  I spent too long being large-and-in-charge.  I am sure Sir will make quick order of reasserting his dominance and I will welcome it.

  2. Families! we love them but heck they can be frustrating lol

    me and my mum tend to butt heads over my children a fair bit, and i spend a lot of time biting my tongue.

    Its difficult sometimes getting that balance of having to be in control at times but also maintaining that submissive mindset.

    1. OH TORI, CAN THEY EVER!!!

      You are so good. I think I have bit my tongue about as much as I can. Yes you're right, that balance is illusive sometimes. For me, it is especially illusive when Sir's traveling.

      Thanks for your understanding and support!
