(Wish I knew who painted this as it looks suspiciously similar to me...hmmm.)
Life has been rather hectic lately. I have had my now four year old's birthday party to tend to. That was frustrating because zero family members showed up and my roommate's boss decided it would be fun to make him work extra late that evening. Either way, my little guy had a great time watching his favorite show, eating cupcakes and Alfredo pasta, opening gifts and being fussed over. I guess that is all that matters, right?
We got a notice to renew our lease, which could be good or bad. On the one hand, our vow renewal is 2 weeks after our lease is up and if we stay, I won't have the stress of moving on top of the stress of the renewal. On the other hand, if we move we will have an extra room for the boys to sleep in and a room to ourselves. I will roll with it either way it plays out.
As for our vow renewal, we still have to get the rest of the decor together, finish Sir's outfit and the children's outfits, get the decorations into a safe space, reserve chairs and get all of the music together on a permanent play list. Not to mention pricing out food! Sound like a lot? It is. Though it will be worth it in the end. At least I finally got my Mother to confirm that she will be there with my two oldest children, so that I can have all of my children there to share a happy day with me.(My mother took custody of my 2 oldest unfairly 4 years ago. We've been engaged in a battle ever since. Long, heartbreaking story, but at least we manage to be civil and I can still visit with my babies. This is why some think I only have 2 children, instead of 4: 3 sons and 1 daughter.)
Sir and I have been working on my emotional aversions to backdoor loving. I managed to allow Him entry, but couldn't allow Him to actually finish that way. He was very loving about it, as He is trying to change the mental association with anal sex as one of love and not violence. It was my fault for not using my safe word sooner. I still dissolved into a puddle of shivering tears when it was over. Sir just held me tightly to Him, murmuring that He loves me and would never hurt me and that He has faith that I will be able to push past this. I know eventually, I will be okay with it. I may never get pleasure out of it physically, but I will get pleasure out of pleasing Sir. Maybe someday I will see it simply as another way to love Him.

In the meantime, He had me pick out a plug that I found aesthetically pleasing to wear every so often during sex. I picked a stainless steel one that has a large green jewel at the flare so that even if I couldn't bring myself to allow anal sex, He would at least have something pretty to look at. Kind of like hunting for treasure*chuckles*.
For now, with the unusually cool weather we've been experiencing here today, I'm going to gather up my little ones under a blanket and veg out in front of the T.V.. I think we deserve a lazy day!
