I felt like writing a normal blog today, more of an "in the present kind" of blog instead of our journey.
Today was a first for me.
A swatting for something trivial or so I thought (but Thom didn't think so).
For years (seriously years) I have always gotten ready in the bathroom in front of the sink. I dry my hair there and use my straightener there.
I'd have to say about 5 times out of 10 I put away my stuff when I'm done. If the straightener is still hot and I'm in a rush, I leave it in the sink. I unplug it and leave it there as to not burn anything.
This drives Thom NUTS!
He has told me over 100 times to get that out of the sink and put it away ASAP.
So yesterday, he was hanging up a mirror in the upstairs hallway and it slipped out of his hands and ended up cutting his forearm. He rushed into our bathroom and held his arm in the sink and ran water on it.
I think you can guess what was IN the sink.
My straightener!
"Sunny!" he yelled. "Get up here now!"
I came upstairs to find him holding a towel to his arm and him pointing in the sink. There was my straightener with bloody water on it.
"You are getting spanked for that, I've told you a thousand times to put that stuff away and this is exactly a reason why!"
Oh no I though... Oh yes he thought, and over the sink I was put for several swats.
Guess who will be remembering to put their things away from now on. ME!
I can't believe I wrote a post about how we don't use punishments for little things, and how we had only used them for major problems.. I guess that's how these things progress though. I can say our list of rules and such has grown quite a lot over the years.
