Annie's Woodshed: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

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

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Oh Geez, I can't believe I have not blogged since Thanksgiving. I can't seem to manage my time and get everything done I want to in a day. Not working outside the home has really thrown me for a loop. Since I don't have a set routine I get distracted easily. Way too easily. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and Santa brought you what you wanted and not what you deserve. LOL.

Things are taking slowly changing around here. We are settling in to a 50's style life style. It is a little odd for me but I am adjusting. The clothes are the exception right now. Since we have just moved from 197ft altitude to over 3000ft altitude I am freezing. I can't seem to put on enough clothes. He said he will cut me some slack this winter but be warned wardrobe style changes are coming. I foresee a red bottom in my future over the wardrobe. I hate dresses, I have ugly legs from too many bicycle wrecks as a kid. Oh so I was a tomboy and all my playmates where guys. I couldn't help it I was the only girl in the neighborhood my age. *sigh* Like I said I foresee a red bottom...ok ok several red bottoms.

He is now Sir and must be addressed accordingly when I am in trouble. I am still allowed to call him honey, darling, and babe except when I am in trouble. Punishment is taking on different forms. Spanking now is just for major infractions. He has decided that he doesn't want my bottom toughen up again. Now when I get a spanking it doesn't take much and I am a pile of mush. He is using different forms of punishment even sex. When I start sassing and trying to be Jafar (from Aladdin - the bad guy) as he calls it he reminds me of who is in charge. I am sent to the corner more and more and line writing has been introduced. He has been reading the website Taken in Hand and is using it as a model. He is becoming more demanding and when I am in a snit (his word not mine) he takes what he wants and I am left to deal with the consequences. However, he has become more attuned to me, he can tell when I am getting in a "snit" and usually puts a stop to it rather quickly. After I am "used and abused" (my words not his and no he does not use me or abuse me it is just how I felt the first time he took me in hand and denied me pleasure) for a couple of days he turns on the charm and sends me to the clouds and all is right with our world again. He reminds me that bad girls are "used and abused" and good girls are treated like queens.When I get "Taken in Hand" I feel out of sorts for days, it really rocks my world. I am not used to be denied pleasure. The evil twin does not visit as often as she used but she pops in every once in a while and havoc follows in her wake.

He is all about rewards now. He said he had rather reward and than punish. I am slowly raising him to the status of "King of the castle" and realize that even though we are "equal" we really are not equal at all. He has put the responsibility for paying bills back in my hands. I hate dealing with finances, I do not like it, no I do not, I do not like it at all. But I will have to say it is not as bad as it was when I worked. Now I have time to deal with it and I remember to write due dates on the calendar. But my goal is to pay them as they come in...now I just have to remember to order checks LOL.

So that is were we are right now. He is still not a big fan of spanking and I doubt he will ever be but he is a big fan of order. And that my friends is what we are striving for in our home, order. Because order brings harmony and harmony brings peace.

Hope you all have a "Spanking" New Year

Glad things are settling in for you.

Boy, I hate to wear dresses too. I hate my legs. I guess long ones would be okay but if I'm wearing a dress (rarely) hubby likes shorter ones. Go figure.

Happy New Year to you.

Interesting post. Started me thinking of how nice it would be if we could afford for Fair Lady to stay at home. She'd love that and so would I. Dresses would be required, but she would like that. Happy New Year!

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)
