Needless to say I’ve been busy. My abscence says it all. I’d blog all day every day , if I could but I have lots of other responsibilites.
Things are constantly running around here and I have ato run to keep up.
The newest and biggest change is that J has started taking classes so that he can become a certified preacher, minister, clergy man , whatever you choose to call it. I bet you’re wondering why I’m telling you this… LOL well that’s one more thing on our plate. And the classes require extra curricular activities…. so as it stands after working 40 hrs. a week he comes home for about 20 min.
and on :
mondays- about 2-3 hrs of ministry work
tuesdays- 3 hrs. of classes
wednesdays- 2 hrs. of church for the family
thursdays- 1-1/2 -2 1/2 hrs of work for class
fridays he has home with us
saturday- mornings and evenings he has prayer meetings and more ministry work
and sunday we have church in the morning and evenings…
so as you can see the only time I’m going to have with my darling husband is friday nights , saturday and sunday afternoons.
This is going to kill me, but it’s important to him so we’re going for it.
Since I don’t have that much time with him we’ve got to make every minute count. He’s probably not going to like this part too much but I’ve been thinking about things that get in the way of quality time and we’re just going to have to cut out some of the tv time because it just zaps all our time away.
and for me I really should have dinners ready when he gets home so we don’t have to spend time doing that and the children should be bathed and ready for bed.
It’s requiring a bit of a shift in our schedules but it can be done. it’s got to be done.
classes have been going for a few weeks now and Ive been really good but You know when you get in one of those moods where you just need some attention. Anything would do. I need a reconnect and I seriously was bordering on bratting just to get his attention but I find it far better to just talk to him. The other night I mentioned a date night and he was all over that. So I know he’s been feeling it too. I want the time to be the best it can be but I’m afraid I’ve been let go too long that I wont have the right mind set and I’ll end up being punished.
After much thought I think I’m going to ask him to spank me tonight. Kind of a preemptive spanking or something just to clear the air so I we can be ready for real and true intimacy and deep conversation with nothing between us. ……if I don’t chicken out….LOL
I don’t tihnk I will because I feel the need coming on and I just think we need to make the time count and I guess I’m looking for suggestions too of some things we could do to remove obstacles or just things we could do together that would make me feel that constant connect even though we don’t have the time I wish we did.
