I guess I should back up a bit and let you know Brice was going very easy on me as far as getting my stuff done and I really appreciated it.
Also, on Thursday, I got a phone call about my Mom and immediately called Brice to fill him in.....and tell him I was on my way to check on her.
He said I'm right by there I'll meet you.
My first reaction was no I'm fine, but it dawned on me this was one of those times I need to let him take care of me. It was really nice to have him there, I thanked him later and let him know how much it meant to me.
Okay....back to my sister on the phone, lol. We had finished dinner and the little girls were all wound up and tensions were running high.
I hung up the phone and both girls charge me asking for dessert and all sorts of other things. I looked over at Brice and he is playing a game on his phone. Grrrrr....
He tells the girls to put on their PJ's and calm down....all while playing his game.
I said a little exasperated....why didn't y'all do all that while I was on the phone?!?!? Talking to the girls, knowing it was directed at him....I know I know. ( I should have treaded lightly here, but nope not me)
Finally, as I got up to leave the room, I looked back and said.....Don't you worry about a thing!!! Just go back to playing your game!!! (Insert head toss with nose in the air as I walked out of the room, with the kids) Sigh...
I'm sorry, I just don't know why you didn't get them in bed while I was on the phone!?
Did you notice I cleaned up the kitchen while you were on the phone...Or were you too busy running your mouth at me?
Ummm....
Honey, I'm SOoo SORRY, I was carried away talking to my sister...
He was having none of it. To say he was furious was an understatement.
I promptly got the kids in bed.
I knew perfectly well what was going to happen but was really hoping it wouldn't be then.
We watched a movie together not mentioning the elephant in the room.
Finally, as we were about to go to sleep, he said I know you don't like to wait....but you will have to. There is no way I can deal with you tonight....I'm too angry. Especially after I was so easy on you this week.
Okay....
I'm really sorry.
I was really nice the next day, and we had our normal influx of people. At one point our girls were all out of the house, but my brother-in-law was here. I chatted with him more than I have in years...I knew when he left I would meet my fate.
As he walked out the door, Brice turned to me and said...let's go take care of business......and that's exactly what we did. All was well with the world once again.
I still amazes me how it truly does clean the slate.
I am new to blogland and six weeks into DD. What you described is the way the "taking care of business" happens around here. Hubby says "Let's go" and the talking stops. I am always amazed at how calm and settled I feel afterwards and how neverous I am before. How does that happen?

Hi Meredith, I'm so glad your here!
DeleteI have no idea how it works but if you figure it out let me know. ;)
What cute baby pictures you found! Really love the first one :) Yes, it is amazing how much you can dread and try to get out of a spanking, but then when it's over, all is right with the world again. I still don't really know why it works, I just know it does!
ReplyDeleteI know and boy do I dread it when I know it's coming lol.
DeleteSoooooooooooooo *NOT* going to tell you what taking care of business is about over here! Because I thought, she can't POSSIBLY be writing about THAT???
ReplyDeleteHappy "The Fugitive" is still able to keep up with you with only one arm. Lord knows the man has his 'hand' full!
I hope next week, things return to a more normal state for you! Good work btw Brice for being there for our girl while she dealt with the issues surrounding her Mom.
love, willie
I am hoping for a more normal week too.
DeleteI was really pleased he asked to meet me there, even though I may not have felt I needed him to, it felt very good he was.
His hand isn't THAT full!!
Oh Betsy, I've done just that before ... Sarcasm over what he has not done, only to walk into another room nod discover what he has done!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're sorted and ready to carry on!
Well, on a positive note, I don't do it as often as I used to. ;)

ReplyDeleteOh I so know that " WHAT DID YOU SAY" look an tone, it makes my stomach drop, after 9 months you'd think I'd learn to keep that gob shut lol
ReplyDeleteGlad everything is well in your shoe again :)
Yep my shoe is calm at the moment (and that doesn't happen often lol)
DeleteHi Betsy,
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a busy week and a lot to deal with. Good on Brice for being there with you when you went to visit your Mom. I'm glad he was there for you.
Oh dear, I can understand your reaction under the circumstances. I probably would have said similar things. I'm glad all is well with the world again. It is amazing what a spanking can do isn't it? :)
I love the cute pics btw.
Hugs,
Roz
Looking back on the week now...i guess it was building all week, luckily the spanking wasn't as bad as I probably desereved....but I would never admit that out loud (shhh!)
DeleteWhen I was reading your post I thought that Bobbie was the guest writer for you. LOL good post glad your back to normal
ReplyDeletebob
LOL Bob! Yep, sometimes our brain to mouth filters betray us. ;)
DeleteWell I guess first I should say how sweet it was of Brice to go with you to your mom's. Just don't let that slip out.....no need to inflate his ego anymore than it already is ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd the kids....oh Lord...what is it about little people that just makes us go completely nuts? I have so done this before...gotten overwhelmed in the moment....and failed to see what Ryan has done to help me....ugh! Not a good feeling.
I love the baby pics....so darn cute....I think I have had all of those expressions from time to time.
*Try* to stay out of trouble....oh, who am I kidding?? bwhahhaha! :D
Love ya....

It so hard to stay focused and 'goos' when there is so much chaos. And now you've had a reset and all is well. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have quite a guy there. :) And it's so great that he knew it was best to take you in hand when he was calm.:) And you're right, clean slates are amazing!
