And we're back

Thank you for your patience during my long absence.  It was a long difficult time but that's behind me now and I'm back.  I will be checking in on everyone's blogs and catching up (tho it might take me a few days to get to everyone's).  


Summer is in full swing, though I'd never know it by our weather and I should be used to it by now, and enjoying it because I know eventually the temps will shoot upward and I'll be whining that it's too hot to anything.  Yesterday was the 4th of July, which ironically or not is one of O's favorite holidays.  We had a house full of people and did the usual barbecue and fireworks.  Omega LOVES playing with fireworks and cracked me up several times especially when he lit one off kinda too close to his brother.  Of course the dog was totally freaked out so we medicated him heavily and I stayed with him while the firework action went on outside. 


It was really a lot of fun, despite having to spend a couple days cleaning the house up for it.  


In the evening I joined Omega in the hot-tub, and we just talked for a long time about everything that's been going on.  


I'm so grateful for all the comments, emails and everything sent to me during my time away.  I will be catching up soon on everyone's blogs!  Really I will.  I really can't say thank you to everyone enough.  


I also want to thank Omega for not holding on to me tighter during that time of awful stress but instead actually letting a lot of stuff go, so I could focus on what I needed to do.  Stress is the worst thing, and I think the knee jerk response is to tighten things up.   But O really did the opposite while my stress was unbearable.  He didn't care if the house was clean, or if the meals were perfect, he just let it slide.  He didn't worry about what he wanted, or even my maintenance which we just returned to doing recently. He helped me during that time and didn't get pouty or selfish.  It's really not easy being the one in charge for everything.  But I really think a hallmark of a good dom is knowing when to put things aside for the greater good.  


Thank you Omega for helping me through that time.  Being my flashlight in the darkness and never once complaining about dinner being late, the house being a mess, or saying you felt neglected.  You put up with me when I was at my craziest (well maybe not quite my craziest but you get the idea).
