A lovely Christmas

Did everyone have a good Christmas? Ours was great. Nick's sister was in from Texas, and it was wonderful to see her and her husband and kids. Her daughter is 16 months older than Morgan, and they took Morgan out for fun stuff almost every day. Nick and I bought each other new jackets, and Morgan and the baby got way more than they needed. Actually, the baby didn't get a whole lot, but she is less than 3 months old - there's not too awful much she can appreciate yet. The best Christmas gift was from Nick's sister and her husband. Before they came in, they sent us some money to help with bills. This was such an answer to prayer, and such beautiful evidence to me that God is going to provide for us in our new venture as a single income family.

Due to the holidays, we didn't get to do our Thursday spanking last week, but we hope to get to do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is actually our 6th anniversary with DD. This has been a difficult year for us with DD, but I feel like we're back on track.

I'll be going in to work next week to tell them that I'm quitting, so I would appreciate your prayers that that goes well. Anyway, the baby needs to nurse, so I've gotta run...Happy New Year!

I wanted to share this - a wonderful post indeed from Money Saving Mom. Merry Christmas, all.

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

I thought I'd post again before we get into the Christmas madness. Nick's sister and her kids get in from Texas tomorrow, and we have Christmas celebrations to attend tomorrow night, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so we'll be pretty busy.

I got my regular Sunday/Thursday spanking tonight. I've been a very good girl all week, so Nick let me choose my implement, and I picked his belt. It's been a very long time since he's used a belt on me, and I had forgotten just how much it could hurt, but it was a good kind of hurt, one that made me feel safe and taken care of. We managed to get in a few minutes of reconnection time afterwards before the baby woke up, and it was very nice indeed.

All my Christmas shopping is done with the exception of one, possibly two gifts, but they won't be given till Christmas morning, so I've got a few days yet. I took the baby in for her two month check up today, and she's weighing in at 11 pounds and 12 ounces, and is 23 inches long. She's growing so fast! Nick's sister's little boy is 6 1/2 months old now, and I can't wait to see him again. When we last saw him he was 3 1/2 weeks old, so I know he's grown a mile. Anyway, I'm off to bed - I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

So very blessed.

I got spanked tonight. It was supposed to happen Sunday, but it seems that our Sunday schedule has morphed into a Thursday schedule. That's okay though - I'm getting spanked on a regular basis again, so no complaints from me! Actually I'm probably lucky that it didn't happen until tonight. Sunday night it got pretty late, he was ready for bed, and I didn't remind him. Unfortunately when he came home on Monday afternoon remembering that he was supposed to have spanked me the night before, it was rather unapparent what I'd been doing all day other than scanning old high school photos into the computer to give all my facebook friends a good laugh. The table was piled high with the scanner/printer, my laptop, and about 8 leaning stacks of variously sized pictures.

Now in my defense, I did do more than it looked like. I took all the pictures out of the box in the garage that he'd been after me to clean out, and I dug the scanner out of the back of my closet and hunted down the power cord and USB cable for it, then spent quite a while downloading the drivers for it so it would work with Windows 7. I had also started dinner, although admittedly that meant that I had put the ground beef in the microwave to thaw. And of course I was periodically nursing and changing the baby throughout all of this. Okay, maybe I hadn't done the dishes or any laundry, but what was more important, the housework or the amusement of 150 of my closest friends? Er, right - the housework.

Now I was REALLY fortunate that the baby stayed up past his bedtime that night, because he was pretty pissed. The look on his face when he mentioned to me that I had let him go to bed the night before without reminding him was less than friendly. Tuesday night we held off because he had an early meeting Wednesday morning and had to get up extra early. I really thought it would happen last night because Morgan spent the night with my parents, but since he was off today and it would just be us and the baby until Morgan got home from school, he decided to wait till today. So all day long I'm thinking it's going to happen at any time. Meanwhile I'm quite enthusiastically going about helping him in gathering the trash for a trip to the dump and cleaning out the garage. But of course time ran short, and before we knew it we had to leave because he had an appointment to get his hair cut. My mom dropped Morgan off just after we got back home. She went upstairs to watch cartoons for a few minutes and rather unexpectedly fell asleep. The baby was asleep too, so I thought, okay any minute now he's going to call for me. But before that happened Morgan woke back up and came down to do her homework and the opportunity was gone.

Eventually I got her to bed and asleep, but by then he was watching a movie. By this time I figured it would probably be tomorrow night at the earliest. I mean, he has to work tomorrow, and the movie didn't go off till almost 1 AM. Nope, Mr. Spontaneous decided the time was right. So he took me upstairs and got out the CANE-IAC Jr with holes. Now for quite a while this was all he used, and I always HATED it, but I have to tell you, after my last two spankings with the Spencer paddle, I was kind of relieved to see him pull it out. Not that it didn't set me on fire. We started out with me just bending over the side of the bed, but it seems that having my feet under me makes it a little too possible and tempting to escape, so after I got out of position a couple of times he stopped and made me lie on the bed on my stomach.

When he's using anything wooden with holes on me, I lose all ability to count, which usually helps me work through the pain a little. He spanked me hard enough that counting just wasn't an option, so I really don't know how many I got. I do know that I cried, and that the last five alone were hard enough to leave me sore.

When it was over and we'd cuddled a bit I set about putting him to sleep, much to his appreciation. Having accomplished that, I said, "Thank you for taking care of me."

"Thank you for taking care of me," he said.

"Mmmm. Why is it that when you take care of me, you beat my butt, but when I take care of you, you get a blow job?"

"I don't know. That's just kind of the deal we have worked out," he said, grinning at me. "I think I've probably got the better end of it."

"It sure feels like it!" I answered. Honestly though, it means so much to me that he's doing this for me, and doing it on a regular basis too. He's so very good to me, and I'm incredibly blessed to be his.

Name This Paddle Contest

I'm terribly late in posting this, but I wanted to let you all know that John from Leather Thorn Paddles is having another Name This Paddle Contest. John does incredibly high quality work, and I recommend him to anyone, whatever your spanking needs. I have two of his paddles myself, and you can bet I submitted an entry for the contest! You need to hurry though, because entries need to be submitted by December 7th!

Take a look around his site - there's still time to place an order for Christmas if you see something you like other than the featured contest paddle, or if you want to go ahead and order one of those to be sure you get it, I know you'll be pleased with the product. John is easy to work with and works hard to provide you just what you want, so if you'd like to have him customize something you see on the site, shoot him an email - I'm sure he can help you.

The Sapphire Spiral

A few days ago I was contacted by The Adult Toy Shoppe and asked if I would be interested in reviewing some of their merchandise. Reviews are always fun, and I saw a number of great products on their site. What really caught my eye though was their selection of glass toys. I've always wanted to try a glass dildo, so I was thrilled when they let me know they would be sending me the Sapphire Spiral. Arriving yesterday, it took less than a week to get here (and keep in mind that Thanksgiving was during that week), and it arrived packaged very discreetly in USPS packaging. There was nothing on the outside of the package to indicate what was inside or what type of merchant sent it.

The first thing I noticed when I pulled it out was how beautiful it is! I could hardly wait till Nick got home and we got the girls to sleep so that we could try it out. Unfortunately the baby didn't much care that Mommy and Daddy needed some alone time. It was almost 3 AM before she fell asleep, and I had long since tucked Nick into bed by that time.

Tonight the stars were aligned, both kids went down at a reasonable hour, and Nick and I jumped on the opportunity to be alone. We first of all took care of the spanking I told you about in the last post, and once that was done with I pulled the Sapphire Spiral out. I handed it to Nick and got on my knees to give him some very personal attention. While I was going down on him he slipped the dildo into place, and very soon he was moving it in pace with my mouth on him. I finished with him and gave him time to recover a bit, then lay back so that he could give a little more attention to me. The spiral around the shaft feels amazing moving in and out, and one thing that was really cool was the way it trapped the heat from my body and the friction of the thrusts. We took turns controlling the rhythm, but before too long I just lay back and let Nick take over. The flat base is a great design because he was able to rest his thumb on it and tuck the shaft between his first two fingers, giving him excellent control. The lines of the spiral bumped over my clit, and it was the perfect stimulation because it slipped back and forth over it so easily, giving just enough pressure. It didn't take me long at all to tip over the edge, and my orgasm lasted longer than most. When we were finished with it, it was super easy to clean. I'm very pleased with everything about it, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in a glass toy. I found it reasonably priced at under $27.00, especially for such a beautiful piece, and the shipping was both quick and discreet.

Well cared for...

I got spanked tonight, and it was just what I needed. When I got spanked last week I asked Nick if we could start doing it on a weekly basis (although a less severe version of what I got that night) and he agreed. We settled on Sunday nights as a good time for it, but unfortunately every night from Sunday until last night had something going on (okay, "something" here means an 8 week old baby). Fortunately she cooperated with us tonight and fell asleep pretty soon after Morgan did, so we headed upstairs.

Now this was not a punishment per se, so I was pretty surprised and more than a little alarmed when he pulled back out the Spencer paddle. It seems that I've managed to provide him with a new favorite. I did my best to talk him into using just about anything else, but he was set on his choice. He did however allow me to keep my jeans up this time, and after some gentle lecturing on what is expected of me now that I'm staying at home, he spanked me. It was considerably easier to take than my last spanking; still, I was in tears pretty quickly, but it took me right where I needed to go.

Afterwards we played with my new toy, which I'll tell you about in my next post (which I'm sure you'll read after you pick yourself up from the shock of seeing two posts in one night from me.)
