Annie's Woodshed: Superman is on the mend

A True Wife

"A true wife makes a man's life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love 'turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.' While she clings to him in holy confidence and loving dependence she brings out in him whatever is nobles and richest in his being. She inspires him with her courage and earnestness. She beautifies his life. She softens whatever is rude and harsh in his habits or his spirit. She clothes him with the gentler graces of refined and cultured manhood. While she yields to him and never disregards his lightest wish, she is really his queen, ruling his whole life and leading him onward and upward in every proper path. -JR Miller

Superman is on the mend

Well hubby is feeling better and I am not sure that is such a good thing. We work at the same university and usually I bring our lunch and we eat in my office it saves $$ plus we get about an hour of no kids. Well yesterday he dropped the bomb on me. I was hugging him before he left and I told him after Mother Nature left (I am 48 shouldn’t these visits be over by now) I wanted to have a spanking session and wiggled my eyebrows at him. I thought I was being cute.

He looked at me and said oh we are going to have a spanking session alright I owe you a few. My heart stopped. I had worked extra hard this week to be good because I knew he was sick and didn’t feel good. After I picked my jaw up off the floor I asked him why what had I done. It seems I have sassed him and was disrespectful in front of one of the boys (I am not AD...oh look pretty butterfly- I honestly don’t remember sassing him.) I used the debit card without telling him (hey in my defense the car needed gas and I laid the receipt on the computer desk), he said there were more but his didn’t have his list with him. (Thanks Leo he got this idea from you. Judy I think we need to have a post-it note burning party.) Great now I am trying to figure out just what all I have done.

This morning on the way to work I was informed that we are not going straight home after work that we are going to Lowe’s. He wanted to price a solid door for our bedroom and he had a few other items to pick up and gave me a very long hard look. Yes I knew what that look meant. He wants a dowel and to get the supplies for a Loopy Johnny. Here I was worried that he didn’t want this life style, but …NOOOO! He is just worried about the kids hearing and about hurting me.

Not just our kids. You have to understand our boys are college students and they live at home to avoid dorm cost and well we really should just install a revolving door instead of a regular front door. I never know who is in our house. I walked through the other evening and there was someone knew in there and I stopped and turned around and said “you’re new” they all laughed. I was surprised this morning to find no one asleep on the couch or in the middle of the living room floor; although finals are over and everyone is leaving to go home for the holidays. We live about 1 ½ miles from campus and the boys’ friends and girlfriends see our house as an escape from the dorm. We LOVE having them here don’t get me wrong, but it sure does “cramp” ones style sometimes. Hubby keeps reminding me just two more years and they will all be gone and then we will miss all of this. He says this is our reward for talking to the boys about any and everything. It is a nice feeling knowing they feel comfortable enough to bring their friends to our house. It really is a blessing, how many parents can say they get to share this time of life with their kids?

Well at least I know there will be no bare bottom spanking this weekend. That is something we agreed on when we started this journey, no bare bottom spanks during that time of month. Plus it is our baby’s 21^st birthday so dad will take him out and buy him his first “legal” beer. Mom is not stupid she is not even going to pretend that she doesn’t know he has a drink before. Besides he is a Marine reservist and has spent the summer in Morocco where there is no drinking age. I don’t even want to think about what he did over there!

I had to chuckle when you so confidently stated that in just two years they will be gone, and you can have the house to yourself then. They may leave, but they come back. Every parent I have spoken to that has kids that moved out, has agreed with me. They come back. Eventually they do leave. Right now, we have a moment of no kids, but I fully expect that some time in the future, that one of them will come back. (Humming "the cat came back, we thought he was a goner, but the cat came back....)

Colossians 3:18-25

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality. Colossians 3:18-25 ESV

1Peter 3:1-7

Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. 1Peter 3:1-7

Proverbs 31: 10-31

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet. She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31: 10-31 (ESV)
