Thank you, Saturday bum, long term presents

I love me a dainty title, don't I? :)



As you maybe know my 3rd granny has fallen seriously ill. These news brought me completely down and the days till Friday night have not been good. She is meant to stay in hospital for now, but the doctors say that her chances are good. So, finally, after around 50:50 they have become more optimistic and speak about healing her, if …. They say she has to start her chemo almost immediately, but all of us are very hopeful and we are all simply grateful that she has this new chance. You know what, although granny is awfully focused on the months ahead of her, she is finding a way out of her protective shell and is pulling down some of her walls again. I am so happy about that happening! 

And I want to say thank you to all of you who have her in their thoughts, prayed and sent positive energy. I know this helped and I do not even have the words to say how much it means to me that you did that. Thank you, you are wonderful!





No surprise, throughout the last week I was more than tense and not only I was glad that hubby could help out. I got spanked more between Friday to Sunday than I would have imagined. I asked (twice) and hubby obliged gladly, because he would have taken action sooner or later anyway. It was not punishment. Instead I felt so much relief and these moments allowed me to laugh again. It is not I who carries the heavy burden, no, that’s my granny. But to see her suffer is horrible, and to see her retreat is not like her, well, the circumstances are not normal either, are they?  She needs time for herself too, to cope with what’s ahead of her. Still, I don’t want her to feel neglected or alone, and I want her to know that we all love her.
 I think the point is that I want to see her surrounded by love, so that she can take a lot of strength out of it. Well, the days have become better because the docs had all in all better news. We see it in granny and she sees the future brighter again too.

And while granny is showing much more of herself again, I was still not completely at peace with all this. Imagine that, after two intense spankings which I asked for, hubby even added a third one, but that was far less intense and my bum is very grateful for that. We had a wonderful reconnection which was not overshadowed by any negative thoughts. Hmmm, coming to think of it I couldn’t think at all. :)


The Saturday morning bum
Being spanked again is wonderful, well I have whined throughout last year how much I missed it. But suddenly we have to make sure that any marks are more hidden than ever. Especially from Friday to Saturday I get loads of arnica on my bum now, :) because of the baby swimming course on Saturday morning. I have not felt that self-conscious about being in a swimsuit for ages (maybe I have, but that's weight-related and different), I think, but suddenly I am looking for a mirror. We even had a Saturday morning bum review, to make sure no marks can be seen, or maybe only one. It was all ok. I had two big bruises right at the centre of the South Pole, well hidden under the swimsuit and I felt a little naughty in the pool, wondering if anybody could guess.
I have had a few bruises on my bum or legs for years and nobody cared, but that was in pretty big indoor swimming pools. In this tiny therapy pool though, you are suddenly so close to everybody that they can see it all. Imagine a sort of sardine tin filled with water, mommies and babies in it. Thank God the babies are at the centre of attention.
Nevertheless, our new Saturday morning bum control ritual will be there for a long time, I guess. :) 


I'd love to have one of these, the one on the right looks awesome and can cover a bit, too


On a maybe funnier side, I think in one of the last entries I mentioned that I am not the one who is able to keep a poker face. Ooops I did it again. A very close friend’s birthday is this week and we met yesterday … after I had finished her birthday present. We visited her, only a short visit, Tilda and I sat down and it took my friend maybe the time to pour in my tea (! she had the coffee :) ) before she told me that I had made a present for her. :( This sucks, but it was funny too and for the safety of everybody we should be glad that I am not a spy! … 
Since she virtually told me what her present was, I think I can tell here too. I made a new collage with different pictures, moms and babies who are close friends and family. So, the only major difficulty in that was to collect the pictures from all of us secretly. And nobody told her a word, they promised. I denied everything, but my 'Stop asking, it is supposed to be a secret' was either not helpful or far too late.


Christmas is soon - presents finished?
So, if you enjoy collecting things to put them together and arrange them nicely, I can absolutely recommend such a project. One project I have written about before, in some very old entry, was that I had collected funny things that hubby had said. Do that for one full year, carry pen and paper with you all the time (I do, but that’s primarily because of mommy-brain) and write all the little things down. It is hilarious and will make such a wonderful book present full of good memories.
You have to be really sneaky if you write things down, and this works best when you write the quotes down immediately after they were being said. Otherwise you’ll forget or use different words. 


 not mine, but wish I had seen them earlier!



Wishing you all a wonderful and most awesome second half of this week!

  1. Oh Nina, you make me laugh with the swimming costume thing! I am so glad that your 3rd granny has a chance. I wish her lots of luck with her treatments.

    1. Hi Jan, looking best in a swimming costume is serious business in general, but with a spanked bum it is even more so. I loved hubby check on me and it was a fun activity done the other way round. I started naked and dressed in front of him. :) Doesn't usually happen that way round. :)

      We are so relieved that granny has a real chance. We know that this will not be easy, but she is strong and is not one who gives up easily either, so I am much more confident than before that she'll make it. She has new plans again now too, so she has found hope just like we have. If possible she wants to visit a sort of fair or market in the countryside with us at the end of May, so she really makes new plans and that's wonderful. Thank you for wishing her lots of luck, I appreciate this a lot. From what I saw in past years treatments will not be easy, but her determination is back there, so she'll make it.

      hugs

      Nina

  2. You Mommy brain? Not based on the thoughtful, and um, lengthy *wink* comments you leave on my posts! LOL

    NOW about the swimsuits with the skirts...nix. The skirts float up. No good!

    Happy to hear there is more than a chance now for your granny. Future plans are the best sign that her mind and heart are both deciding to fight !

    love

    1. Hi willie, I forget so much, parts of me only function because I take notes all the time. I am the queen of post its, :) but it is different from last year, because now I am only forgetting where I put things or what to buy .... or where I parked the car. Last year was worse, because I did not even know I went to certain places or did things at all. :)

      Is lengthy good or bad? Uhm, hey. wait, you wrote the original entry that went down so deep into your inner self. ... Try to be short about a topic that touches your soul! Impossible...for me...and you. :D

      Good point about the swimsuits with the skirts, they look cute, but are no good in the water. Too bad, because I like that they conceal the problem spots nicely. :(

      I cannot express how much relief the better news have brought to all of us. And granny's plans are definitely not because she is running out of time, no, this is making plans for the future and also for the joy she has found again. We are happy about that and support her in fighting this illness. Cuddling Tilda is something she enjoys a lot. I love these moments for her, because I can see that she is feeling better then. Too bad that cuddling cute babies is not a therapy to defeat cancer. But it helps giving granny strength, so Tilda is excellent medicine. :)

      love

    1. Hi Cat, thank you for your prayers and healing energy, I appreciate that so much and I know this helps us here. :) I think they have helped all the time and I am grateful that you do that for us.
      I love the swim dresses too, they are much better than many of the too skimpy ones that reveal more than they cover. :)

      hugs

  4. Hi Nina, so glad to hear there is some positive news for your 3rd Granny and agree with Willie about her making future plans. Continuing to send positive thoughts and prayers.

    Your Saturday morning bum check made me laugh. Seriously, I'm so glad your husband has been there for you and that he has been giving you what you need.

    1. Hi Roz, thank you for your positive thoughts and prayers, I appreciate that and I think that we see them work here. She is feeling better and we also think that her making plans is a good sign.
      The spankings I got were marvelous. They have helped me so much more than anything else and afterwards I felt so much better, not only at peace, but very relaxed. Hubby had spanked away the sorrows and now I can cope much better with them. I am so happy hubby is there for me. :)

      hugs

  5. Hi Nina, glad to read that the news is better for 3rd granny. Hope is so important with cancer, it aids the healing and the fight.
    Occasionally I have to warn P, you can't spank me hard tonight, I've got an appointment with the doctor, just in case .... It's always fun feeling a little naughty, walking around with a sore bum and a grin on the face.
    hugs

    1. Hi DF, we are so glad about the better news too. Her hope has helped everybody around and we are much more positive than before. Yep, we do the pre – doctor check occasionally too, depending on who I have to see, :) but I do love having this little secret that nobody can know about, definitely naughty!

      hugs

  6. So good to hear more positive news.
    On the swimming front, we don't go that often but one school holiday last year I had to take the boys and sit and watch from the side. There was no swimming suit that was going to cover it well enough! One of the advantages (?) of having older children!

    1. Hi Janey, we are also so glad about the better news. :) Uh oh, too many bruises showing in the wrong moment can be really embarrassing. But you are not staying out of the water because of them, are you?
      I only hope that all marks are covered when we go swimming. I’d like both, swimming and marks, the ones that make me feel naughty, that is. :)

      hugs
