Struck by a Shoe

It's been a very long time since I have written any posts on here and I have been contemplating a new post for some time, yet had been unsure and uninspired as to what to write....until yesterday. I had an experience as I sat in the waiting room at the Mental Health Clinic waiting for my to finish her session with her psychologist. A mother and her aged roughly 19 years entered the waiting room. It was clear the has some sort of mental illness. She came over to me and said a friendly "hi", to which I responded "hi". I was a bit shocked at first when she would start randomly screaming at the top of her lungs and pretended to be busy looking at my blackberry when she came back over and said 'hi' a second, third, and fourth time. At one point, she took off her sneakers and hurled one at my head from across the room, narrowly missing my face. As I sat there, feeling sorry for the girl's frustrated mother, who was for lack of a better word, defeated, another woman entered the waiting room. She sat down and the young girl went over and gave her usual greeting, "hi". This new woman replied, "hello there, and how are you today?" The girl said "good". It was clear that the girl's language skills were somewhat limited, but this woman carried on a friendly conversation with the troubled girl for a few minutes. She was unconcerned when the girl did her random bouts of screeching, was just as unconcerned when the girl took her shoe off and aimed it at her head. She just spoke to her like she was any other 'normal' person. As I sat there, wondering what the hell was taking them so long to call in this troubled girl and feeling unsafe and perturbed, this woman, single-handedly and in the swell of one or two simple sentences made me take a long, hard look at myself. Here was a giant flaw of my own made so apparent to me that the girl may as well have struck me in the face with that shoe after all. Maybe it would have knocked some sense into me! I admired this woman and her openly loving attitude towards ALL people, tears literally filled my eyes as I sat there and realized how much I wished I could be like her, how much so many of us should be more like her. This woman is clearly what the world needs more of. Now perhaps this woman has had mentally challenged people in her life and understands them better than I do, perhaps she doesn't. Perhaps she is just a special person. One who is accepting, and openly loving and who does not judge what circumstances life has thrown at them. I know I am not perfect, FAR from it! But in the back of my mind, I felt superior knowing that my 10 year old , who is struggling with her own mental health issues right now, is still pretty darn normal. And I realized just how lucky I am to have who are not challenged in ways like this young girl was. I walked out of that waiting room yesterday with a new sense of awareness....aware that my own struggles I have been having with my (and what struggles they have been for a year now) couldnt possibly be as difficult as what that mother faces every single day. I left that waiting room aware that I am flawed, yet aware that my flaws are something that I need to work on. I WANT to be that woman, I WANT to be accepting and non-judgemental. I want to be able to pass it on to my daughters so that one day when they are grown and perhaps find themselves sitting in a room waiting for their own daughters when a 19 year old hurls a shoe at their head, that they will not look at her like I did, with fear and unacceptance, but will be the ones who will talk to her with the respect that she deserves, the very same respect and love that every single one of us deserve.

Well, like the last blog I posted...it has been an awesome week!! Both hubby and I have been very highly sexually driven! I am thinking that it is partly in anticipation of the weekend....we will be attending our first Freddy party and will be meeting lots of new people and seeing some others who we haven't seen in quite a while!! Yesterday, being the Mr's only day off of the week, we had LOTS of running around to do...so I hopped in the shower early to get ready to go out. After my shower, I was in our bedroom drying off and getting dressed. Well no sooner had I put the clothes on my body when hubby came into the room and stripped me right back down again!! I scolded him saying that we didn't have enough time to start fooling around with all the things we had to do, plus, our 5 year old was just downstairs! Well needless to say, he had it all planned out. He had put a movie in to entertain our , locked the door and told me that he was NOT going to take no for an answer! He told me how much he loves the taste of my sweet pussy and we weren't going anywhere till he got a taste of it. So, several orgasms later...and after yet another shower, we finally got out to do our errands! Then, while we were out...every now and then he would casually grope me in public and steal a kiss that would linger just a little bit....It definitely made what would have been a day of boring running around much more exciting!!!
