La la la, minding my own business, not sneaking up on Mary like a land shark (cue theme from Jaws). “I know those teeth,” Mary said about the ones biting her shoulder, “Those are Daffy’s.” I wasn’t biting her hard or nothing; just my way of getting her attention in a way that might le...
2023-11-12 21:39:32 +0000 UTC View Post“When’s the last time you wore a collared shirt,” Amanda asked as she got Jamie dressed in the new polo shirt Becky bought him.
“Christmas probably,” he replied as she she pulled it over his head.
“Your belly looks almost all better.”
“Almost. How did you convinc...

I couldn’t help but notice, because I’m a good noticer, that while I was forbidden from texting Mary (and wasn’t privy to where my phone was), Sandy was in no way restricted. That’s not enough evidence to conclude they were plotting against me, but literally ev...

“I’m just going to work,” my wife - got that? My wife. - said like that was an answer to my question, which it was but wasn’t for reasons that are obvious if you’re me, which I am, her wife. WIFE!

2023-10-28 19:28:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! Sorry I've been quiet lately. My big annual work project wrapped up, and it was a sprint to the finish! And now I'm about to go on a much needed 2-week vacation. It's a very active vacation, but I do intend to write some new chapters while I'm gone. I wanna know what's happening with D...
2023-10-14 23:49:46 +0000 UTC View PostBecky and Amanda sat down on their couch after getting Jamie tucked into bed. He’d fallen asleep before they got home from the hospital. Becky admonished Kazoo to be quiet, and he was sitting at their feet.
“Remember when we brought him home the first time,” Becky asked Amanda.

2023-10-04 13:18:26 +0000 UTC View PostConsciousness returned first, a soft awareness of being awake. Jamie liked this feeling, this being awake while his body was still asleep. It was warm and restful. He didn’t want to open his eyes, and when he tried anyway, he couldn’t.
He didn’t hear any voices, but he thought there w...
2023-09-27 12:58:08 +0000 UTC View Post“Hi,” Becky said as she stood at the desk in emergency. “My humanologist told us to come here. My little boy is having some severe abdominal pain. Dr. Bowers said he’d call ahead for us.”
“Yes,” the receptionist said as she glanced at her computer. “In fact, they can take yo...
2023-09-24 18:28:39 +0000 UTC View PostI know I haven't been posting as often as any of us would like, and I'll spare you the reasons except to say I'm trying to fix them. Part of that is writing 3-5 chapter Mary and Daphne arcs like their recent vacation and like this gem that I'm excited about. So excited that I'm publishing it befo...
2023-09-17 18:57:31 +0000 UTC View Post“Bath time for filthy bears,” Amanda said as she got Jamie out of bed. “Did you sleep well?”
“Okay.” Obviously not well enough, it seemed to Manda, as he felt limp on her shoulder.
“Did we keep you up too late last night?”
“No.”
“You a...
There is such a thing as scene drop. You do an intense kinky scene, or you go to a kinky party or convention, and the return to normal life is such a let down that it feels like depression. It sucks. If you’re very smart, you prepare fun things for after the scene or party so you ease your way ...
2023-09-03 21:58:03 +0000 UTC View Post“Wake up,” this lady I took on vacation said.
“Ehhhh fubbit,” I grumbled without opening my eyes.
“Time to wake up.”
“Govay.”
“Do I need to tickle you out of bed?”
“What’s even feffeh moog in (snore).” I’m so pretty and coherent in the mor...
2023-08-29 00:44:31 +0000 UTC View Post“Not a big deal, Jamie,” Ella told him for the third time. “It happens to me every once in a while.”
“That’s different.”
“Not that different.” Becky usually gave Jamie a couple hours of naked little time every week to give his skin a chance to air out. He’d forgott...
2023-08-23 00:41:55 +0000 UTC View PostJamie’s trip to Manda’s university to participate in a classroom lecture had become a once-a-semester ritual. He’d gotten to like the professor, Dr. Stern. Every semester, the students had the same questions, more or less, and Jamie and Dr. Stern had a good patter of give and take, not rehe...
2023-08-17 13:26:54 +0000 UTC View Post“You need anything,” Becky asked as she stood over Amanda’s bed.
“No. Thank you.” From where she laid, she could see the top half of Jamie’s head, his forehead creased in concern as he looked down the length of the bed.
“Try to sleep for a while, honey.” Becky put her ...
2023-08-14 22:31:00 +0000 UTC View PostAmanda had started some of her reading to prepare for her first semester of graduate education in human studies. She’d not yet selected which precise field she wanted to pursue, but she had some ideas, and of the reading she’d begun, what had intrigued her most was an article about less-regre...
2023-08-08 01:12:18 +0000 UTC View Post“Mary,” I said to Mary cuz that’s who I was talking to. Not just any Mary either but my Mary.

I didn’t get to be the best babysitter in town by dismissing my charges when they say something nutty (some of them are toddlers – they pretty much only say nutty stuff). This wasn’t nutty though. This was that whole other category of nonsense that comes not from...
2023-07-22 22:17:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe way back always seems shorter than the way to somewhere, unless you’re getting taken back to the changing booths at the boardwalk of a public beach to get scolded, probably spanked, and changed into a diaper. You hold your partner’s hand like they told you to – warned, in fact, that if ...
2023-07-16 00:43:21 +0000 UTC View PostI showered, had a small snack, drank some gatorade myself, and made another bottle to leave on Gordy’s nightstand before I went to bed. I couldn’t resist (it’s why I’m the best babysitter) and slid my hand under the covers to check his diaper; I could feel he was wet, but I thought he ha...
2023-07-09 18:37:28 +0000 UTC View PostMatt offered to help, but I politely turned him down after thanking him again and apologizing on Gordy’s behalf. I felt the need to once again say, “He doesn’t normally drink; I think he just didn’t realize how much he had. He’s a really nice guy.” Matt assured me he understood and to...
2023-07-04 17:08:04 +0000 UTC View PostYou’re on vacation. You’re supposed to be relaxed, having fun, enjoying your partner’s company and the break from your everyday. But you’re not relaxed or having fun. Your partner is annoying you even though you know they’re not doing anything annoying. They’ve been patient and indulg...
2023-07-02 19:00:55 +0000 UTC View PostJamie stumbled out of his nursery an hour later with his hair sticking up, bleary eyed, and smelling like he’d been curled up with a dog. Amanda looked him over with a look that said, Good thing I love you.
“How you feeling, buddy,” she asked. She detected more than just the ...
2023-06-29 13:58:05 +0000 UTC View PostEvery time I travel overseas, when I wake up there after my first night’s sleep, I never remember where I am. It’s that kinda waking up where your mind is alert before your body, and you know you’re awake but your eyes aren’t open, and you have no clue what time it is or where you are. Wh...

I know I do most of the talking in my diary with Mary a close second, but that was the gate agent. Or as I like to call them, the agent of the gate. Agent Of The Gate. Sounds like someone who guards a castle or the ...
2023-06-21 23:54:49 +0000 UTC View PostOnce, when I was just a good babysitter and had a ways to go before becoming the best in town, I took one of my kiddos to their friend’s birthday party. Had I been the best babysitter back then, or even a merely great one, I probably would’ve done a better job monitoring their cake, candy, an...
2023-06-18 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostGood on us for not talking about what we’d been talking about on our drive over. Instead, I talked about my friends who were going to be there. You know how hard it is to get someone excited to meet your friends, especially when the someone is as introverted as Gordy? I don’t think I piqued h...
2023-06-16 15:05:12 +0000 UTC View PostHow is it that someone can be pitiable and adorable at the same time? How can those two things go hand in hand, and what does it say about me that the two are definitely connected in my attraction to Gordy? Or at least the idea of attraction to Gordy.

2023-06-14 23:54:08 +0000 UTC View PostIt was so nice of your new neighbors to host the neighborhood block party for Memorial Day. They’d only moved in a month ago, and they’d generously offered to combine their house warming with the block party as a chance to get to know everyone. You hadn’t met them yet; in fact, y...

“Um, Mary,” I said to Mary in such a way that the ‘um’ didn’t betray any nervousness which I wasn’t even feeling. “I, um, made you, um, a uh, card … for, um, Mother’s Day. Just cuz, uh, I thought it would be, um, sorta sweet and funny … mostly ...
