Okay, so the above quotes apply in a lot of ways right now. It kinda reflects where I am about the whole submission thing. Going from a married couple to parents was scary, and going from married parents to Master and slave WHILE parenting has really been challenging. I'm glad we began the journey, but it's been hard and getting this far has taken a lot of faith and courage.

It kinda reflects the situation with having Halder and his slave live with us. For all of us, joining households, at least for a little while, is nerve-wracking. So much of everything has to find new homes, be reorganized, sorted out. I really feel for Mylie...She will always be her Master's first girl, but it's not quite the same when you move into an established household.

It kinda reflects the state of the bathroom. Having gotten through a LOT of projects in this house, Beloved and I both knew the bathroom was going to be a pain in the ass. It should NOT have been started on a Sunday, and not the first day that our roommates where here...but...well, it was, and it will be finished all the sooner for that, and it will be sooooooo much better than it was! *soft sigh* It's small solace for the fact that such things are never the "one-day jobs" you plan them to be, though.

It's late...everyone else has washed up and gone to bed. It's my turn to use the bath and hope that I can relax enough to sleep...
