Although it happened in a way I wouldn't have imagined, my husband has shown me that he has definitely been thinking about a domestic discipline relationship. Last Friday I was in a very bad mood-you know, one of "those" days! I was really being bitchy to my husband and my child. Finally, hubby had had enough. He grabbed me by the arm and dragged me into the kitchen, away from our child. Before I could say anything, he turned me around and gave me several hard swats on my rear. Needless to say, I was shocked. He then told me to go to my room, and I did. later, we talked about it, and he confessed that he felt guilty about it. I let him know that I thought he had absolutely done the right thing. For the first time in a long time, our fight didn't escalate to the point of no return. I was able to cool off and so was my sweety. I really think he is getting it now. And, I couldn't be more thrilled!

Hopefully?

An interesting thing happened tonight. My husband I and were in the kitchen both lamenting about the stress of our work week. With our little daughter still up, one obvious form of stress relief was just not possible. So, I said, pouting, that I needed some tension relief. The next thing I know, my dear husband slaps me on the rear. He said, "There, it was playful and not painful, but I think it's our first breakthrough." After getting over the shock, I hugged him and told him that was just what I needed, and I meant it. He's trying, and that's all I can ask for right now. I see many delightful evenings in our future, though-after our daughter is in bed, of course!

New Year, New Thoughts?

Thank you so much to all the bloggers that I follow! I've found so many good things about domestic discipline to show my husband. And, he's slowly catching on to the idea. After reading yet another carefully chosen articles, he finally said ,"O.K., maybe I will spank you." Truly, that's music to a spanko's ears!

I want to be patient and let him decide for himself that this is right for us. Patience is so hard though when you've waited so long to admit this need already. I definitely don't want to push him away or cause any problems with our marriage. But, I feel much more hopeful now. Instead of weeks or months, maybe I've only got days to wait now. And I intend to show my husband how truly grateful I am that he is a man confident enough with his life that he isn't afraid to try something out of his comfort zone.

Starting the New Year with a bang!

Since I am still fairly new at this spanking thing, I am beginning to realize that I've learned a few things the hard way. I started 2009 with a spanking for discipline-I knew that wasn't going to be fun! But I had really let myself down in a couple of areas, one in particular, that needed to be addressed quickly. Well, I now understand the benefits of a warm up. Because this was strictly for punishment, I was paddled with no warm up. I had no idea how much that would hurt! The belt came out for the first time too. I've never had a particular aversion to the belt, but it's a whole different story when you hear that belt snap in someone's hand and know it will soon be snapping on your bottom. I will say, I still think the wooden paddle hurt much worse.

Disciplinary spankings do work for me; I'm more focused and less stressed. I know what not to do in the future, and, more importantly, what will happen if I do.
