Suggestions, Please?

Those of you that have read my blog posts have learned that I am easily swayed by certain friends and family memebers' negativity.  So I just got off the phone with one of my sisters, she's in a foul mood and is making a conscious choice to be pissed.  Pissed at her hubby, children, me, our other sisters and life in general today.  Towards the end of our conversation I told her she seemed to be acting ungrateful and that she shouldn't choose to be pissed cause then she'll just ruin her day...

*Patting myself on the back for my wonderful sisterly advice*

Too bad it wasn't received well and she ended up hanging up the phone on me.  We have our little spats and this will pass, but the last time something like this happened I ended up getting toasted because I let it (the negativity and hatefulness) seep into my own attitude. So I'm going to be proactive.  I'm going to do some things that make me feel submissive, while Foreman is still at work and when he gets home.  So far this is what I've come up with:

Doing something around the house that he would like done but hasn't asked me to do.

Making him a wonderful snack for when he comes home.

Send him a sweet text.

Rub his shoulders when he gets home.

Sit in front of his chair on a pillow on the floor while we watch tv. (He's never asked me to do this, but I love to.  He always rests his hand on my neck or shoulders.

Fix his plate first for dinner ( I usually do this anyway when we are eating at someone else's house or are not eating at the table but tonight I will even while we are at the table.



I have a few others but didn't want to share anything too graphic ;-)

So any suggestions???? 

You've Got A Friend...

Over the past year or so and especially recently, I have made so many wonderful friends here in blogland, we email, comment and post it's been really wonderful...but that's always as far as it has gone...until yesterday.  I finally got to hear the beautiful voice of a friend, not just any friend...another dd wife. 

Scarlet, from Scarlet and Clarks world and I have been emailing for a while and eventually it led to texting and finally yesterday, we got to hear each other's voice for the first time.  At first I was a tad bit anxious, what if she couldn't understand my southern dialect very well, what if we didn't have anything to "talk" about, what if, what if?

Then the moment came...my phone rings, it's her...
Crap, my hands are wet from doing dishes and I can't get to my phone...
So I dry my hands, Get the kiddos occupied for an hour and head outside to call her back...
I dial, it rings
"Hello"

"Is this Scarlet?"

"Yes."

All anxiety melted away, we talked about everything, just like old friends.  We laughed and we even had time to talk about "Dd matters".  It was wonderful!! I thank God for my new "phone-a-friend" lol, and for all of the wonderful ladies I have met through this blog. 

Scarlet, thanks for a great conversation and I look forward to many, many more.
So for Scarlet and all of my friends here in blogland, this is for you I also threw in a link to a favorite country song of mine:

 

I'm Jealous!!

I'm so jealous!!!

The past 3 weeks have been so very trying for me and an emotional roller coaster.  There were many times I wanted to just pick up the phone and call my best girlfriend and share everything that was going on, but I couldn't. :( She really wouldn't understand and the last thing I need right now is judgement.  I couldn't post because we were busy away from the computer, on vacation and just dealing with the "busyness" of life.

So here I am, jealous...
wishing I had an "IRL" dd friend.
I know we all do. I just hate that I can't talk about dd things and emotions with my real life friends and family, and I can't go into too much detail in my blog posts, so.... here I am jealous!!

If you have a face to face friend that you can confide in or talk with hug them today because there are those of us that would love to have that.
