Parentals

So, I told Mum what exactly the situation was with Mistress and Sir and I.  I had been avoiding the topic of Sir until I got here.  Mistress said I was very brave to do so, but I replied that I was doing it this early in the piece because of her and the discussion we had a couple of days ago, about honesty and such.  And hugged, and had a bit of a crying moment or some such.

I went eek when I saw a reply from Mum - in amongst all the 'we have received your resume' emails from my job searching.  She said that I did seem to like to complicate my life more than necessary, but that I was old enough to make my own decisions, and that she wished me luck.  The only issue she was still wondering about, was how to tell my grandmother, who will be visiting Here next month.

Mistress said that my mother is awesome, and a couple of other friends I shared the news to said she was very cool.  One of the worries I had about admitting this to the parents, was that the whole black hole of discussions between us when it comes to emotion and feelings and relationships would suddenly be opened for full and frank discussion.  Bring out the inner liberals in my parents lol - or even worse, that they had done something similar.  No, too horrendous to contemplate lol.

So yes, that was the good part of yesterday.  The job hunt continues, and it seems to be continuing well at this stage - no word back from any of the applications, but it is just a matter of time with how tight the job market is Here.

And then, the evening.  Both the children had meltdowns, Mistress was stressed, and Sir - well, our general geek out conversations would have just seemed a cop out, if you know what I mean.  One of those nights where I thought discretion the better part of valour.  And even the television refused to cooperate with me.  It felt like the only positive, constructive thing I could do was the dishes.  Mistress and Sir were having one of their discussions, and I retreated to the lounge.

Hopefully today will be a better day.

And that's another thing.  I enjoy spending quality time with Mistress, the cooking, the baking, the glances at each other across the room kind of thing, and I am getting used to the dishes and ironing and such, which I know is a great help and saves time for the others around the house.  But, Mistress has been spanked by Sir twice that I know of since I got here.  I am just wondering when I will have that sort of fun - and I know, it's not something we would want to do when the kids are around, and it is early days in the entire relationship thing, but I bite my lip hard when I see the others doing it.

Hope that didn't sound too whiney...
