Wow!

I had no idea it has been all summer since I've visited blogger! 

I have popped in a time or two to read, quickly, but I don't think I've commented or anything in quite some time. I thought that I had posted sometime over the summer, but apparently it's been since May! Time really does fly, doesn't it? 

As always, we are busy. All 3 kids are at school for the majority of the week. My little preschooler doesn't go every single day, so we still get to spend some one-on-one time together. It's great.  I'm not one of those moms who relishes when school season begins again. I dread it. I dread it with everything in me. It's nice to have a few minutes to myself to watch something *I* want to watch- which almost never happens, lol. But, after a few minutes, that gets boring and it's too quiet here.  

Even now, all I hear is the clicking of the keys. Booooorrrriiinnnggggggg.  

I can't wait for the day when Fireman can make impromptu trips home for lunch. We will be living a little closer to his work, so maybe we can work that out. Nothing like a house to yourselves during the day ;) 

Please, please, please update me about all of you in my comments. I'll try to go back and read some today too, so I can try to catch up, but I'm afraid I will miss something.  Please let me know how you've all been doing!! 

To update on Fireman and myself.. we are doing well.  Nothing extraordinary.. except some extraordinary sex here and there.  I don't know how, but almost every time is better than the time before. I know some of you will know exactly what I mean. -- At least I hope you're all having that mind-blowing kind that we have ;) 

There is no ttwd, though.  And that kind of sucks.  Not kind of.  It does suck.  We've talked several times since the beginning of the year about bringing it back.... but we are so damn flaky that it never happens.  We are working on not being flaky though.  We have had a couple volunteer-ish opportunities that have bounced into our lives and reluctantly we took them, lol.  I think I have more than FM, but he has in at least one account that I can think of at the moment.  

I have really stepped it up into volunteering at the kids' schools.  That includes meeting new people.. which blech, I hate, but I'm doing it anyway.  Where did I leave my comfort zone, anyway? 

Lately, I've been craving some submissiveness, but we've been so busy, by 10pm, I'm almost completely worthless.  We had a dry spell a few weeks ago... that lasted WAY longer than it should've.  We did make up for it though with a 3-days-in-a-row thing happening, but that was a few days ago.  

I don't want to ask him to be dominant.  I think that kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? I've written several times about that.. so I don't really need to go into it in depth.  I wish he would be though. Maybe I'll subtly initiate a convo about it in the near future. We all know we text better than talking, lol.  

How do you hang on to it? That's the million dollar question.  We can grasp it for a little bit.. but then the flakiness comes back.  

I hope everyone is great!!!!! And I hope to try to get back here more than twice a year, lol. =)
