I deserved it.
In full mommy-melt-down-mode I was yelling at everybody. Nobody could do anything right in my eyes. Fault finding was my mission.
I can't remember what was really wrong. Sometimes I don't even know. Dragon will recognize it sometimes or one of the older kids will point out what is wrong but I can't see it. I was on a full out rampage. I declared it to be family night and my family was NOT having fun.
Dragon sat down to just relax. He worked all day and didn't have a good day at all. He wanted to sit back and enjoy the quiet presence of his family. In his way he took care of the problem.
He looked over at me with that look in his eyes. I can't describe it. It is that look that tells to straiten up right now.
Would he have spanked me if I kept it up? Probably and it wouldn't have been fun.
Boy was that a close one.
"That look" is the most precious one of all. It tells you that he cares for and about you, more than anyone else ever can. It is the type of look that holds a world of love.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a better look to get.
Just remember, invariably these looks are backed up with actions.....
Hugs

The only reason he didn't act was his state of mind. He came home from work late. He was tired and frustrated already. I have a good man. He didn't want to spank me because he knew that he might take it too far. However, if I kept pushing, I know he would have back up that look with action. Action that would have made my backside very uncomfortable.
DeleteI need a picture of that look. I want to practise before the mirror!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen Grumpy Cat on Facebook? That look.
DeleteGlad the look brought you back to yourself.
ReplyDeleteI stuck my nose in a book. Can't read and fuss at the same time. Lol. It worked
DeleteA book is always a good idea. Sometimes I just go to sleep! I am so happy the look helped!
ReplyDeleteThe Tardar Sauce face? Yikes! That there is one sour face, lol.
ReplyDelete"Grumpy Cat" LOL. -Hope the week is better for you all.-Belle L.
ReplyDeleteHope the weekend gets better
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how just a look can do the trick? Sometimes that's all it takes. I admit I've used "the look" a time or two before as well.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well in your world, Dragon's Rose.
