Appreciation
It's nice to be appreciated, and to get recognition for stuff. I've been thanked twice in three days by DH for stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with the events of this year. :)
1) On Friday night, Mavis came home well before curfew and asked if Jubal could spend the night in Rupert's room. His mother had called him on his cell phone and told him not to come home, he was officially disowned. We'd been asleep for an hour already, so instead of jumping up and prying into the poor boy's private life, I just said "yes." DH turned to me and said, "thank you."
"For what?"
"For never introducing that kind of drama into our lives."
(Don't really know what all is going on with Jubal yet, he only spent the one night, but he's eating over here pretty regularly, and he spends a lot of his time just hanging out with our kids. He also helps do chores and still has plans to help me finish the kitchen project, so he's pulling his weight.)
2) On Sunday night, we were watching "That 70's Show" because there was literally nothing else worth watching. Donna was considering threatening to withhold sex from Eric. DH said, "thank you." This time I knew he meant for never using sex as a weapon. I personally just can't grasp the concept of sex as a commodity. I see other people using it that way, and sometimes I even wish I could do it too, but it's not for me. Sex is just something you do because you want to do it, and doing it will be enjoyable. Hmm. Maybe this is why I don't really grok the D/s thing. Maybe the power exchange is too closely tied to a commodity exchange for me.
