Maintenance and a 'tax free' trip!

     Maintenance was moved to Tuesday this week. So i guess it was M/T day,,,just doesn't have the same ring as M/M.

   I went to Master this morning, thinking it would be good to get it over with....i was in for a surprise.  We did the usual, kneeling and claiming time, then over His knee for a hand warm-up, then a hard paddling....it seemed to last a long time...at least from my perspective! He slowed down for the last 20, and made sure I would remember them.  Just as I am thinking, glad that is over, Master announces, you will be getting that same spanking every day this week.

  I look at Him to see if maybe He is laughing at His little joke...he is not.  He adds, I am sure they will be cumulative and the ache will last a while. So while you are away, you will remember that you are not missing maintenance, it just happened early. I am sure you will be thinking of me on your drive Saturday.

    Yes, i am getting ready to go on an extended trip.  As those of you who have been reading here for a while know, I am 'taxed' on my trips  lasting longer than a week.  My grandchildren are in 2 different states, and i had developed the habit of visiting them for 2/3 weeks at a time.  Master understood the need for my 'grandma time', but he also knew that I returned, less submissive, my head in a totally different place....there were even times, i totally gave up on most of my rules. It was not good for us.

    So Master decided that i would get 1 week (10 days actually) tax free, the second week there would be a tax of 3 swats for every day i was gone...5 swats a day for the third week, if there ever was a fourth week 10 a day.  I was not all that pleased, but i did trust that He was doing it for us.

    Since the imposition of the tax, I have had to pay up only once, and i believe it was 15 swats.  I have stayed withing the trip minimum, and honestly it has worked out fine.

     This year has been one of those years ...i had to cancel 2 trips to see my mom because of family emergencies, i had unexpected surgery in April and another second surgery planned for the beginning of September.  

      My sister and I have been planning on a 'sister only' trip for the beginning of August for  a year now.  We did one 3 years ago for my birthday and it was terrific. This one is for her birthday and she wants to go to Atlantic City....the trip is a go, and we will be there for 4 days next week.  We are so excited, i have several surprises planned for  her,  It is a special blessing to have a sister who is also a best friend

     I was thinking and wanted to stop and see my son on my way home...and that i really also should spend some time with my mom after that. The third week is August is the yearly 4 generation time at the beach. So when i talked over my plans with Master, He understood my reasoning...that is when I asked for it to be a tax free trip. 

      He agreed BUT....i expected some kind of but...i had to be sure to keep up with all of my rules and His expectations EVERY SINGLE DAY....if i do not, the trip will be taxed at the regular rate. Knowing that He only wants what is best for us, i agreed.  

     All of this to explain why Master has decided that i will be getting a maintenance spanking every day this week.  I am not excited at the prospect, it will be a first, spankings 4 days in a row.....so stay tuned....i will keep you posted on how me and my bottom are faring.
