Empty Nest RIP

It's official.

Today is our cute Co-Ed's last day of her freshman year off at college. And while her campus is really only little more than an hour up the road, it's been of great value when it comes to Mistress and slave's adventures to have her off in her little dorm room, while her slightly younger daughter has been studying overseas.

She's coming home tonight. I'll fix family dinner. And, conveniently, she's leaving tomorrow afternoon for a trip with her grandmother. So we will ahve a brief respite before she returns for the balance of the summer.  Then, in early July the younger one gets back from her Euro-travails, restoring the UCTMW World HQ to its full staffing levels again until late August.

Obviously, there will be some adjustments to make, particularly as it relates to our propensity to galivant around in the nude, vocalize during sex, use various pieces of household furniture, and entertain J, Mistress's "FWB".

We've talked over the weekend about how to accommodate Mistress's desire to see him with the liklihood of children back in the house.

'Well you can always announce you have an overnight trip out of town for work, Mistress."

"True Slave...."

"On those evenings I can order bad food or take them to some action adventure flick."

"I suppose."

"And there might be some late night meetings you have to attend to...."

"I suppose that could work too...."

Clearly, we will need to be a little creative in adjusting to the return of the sullen (and nosy) ones this summer.

Last evening we enjoyed one of those last of the school year empty nest nights here in River City.  We met some friends for dinner downtown after work.... wine at a trendy cafe, followed by spicy designer tacos at a new hipster hang-out in an old city neighborhood.  By the time we were leaving, the skies had opened and we made a mad dash for our car, soaking our feet up to the ankles in monster puddles. 

You had to laugh. It was a goofy way to end an evening out on the town.

On the drive home, Mistress called J to update him on her day and talk about plans for the weekend.

In a cute sort of way, she was asking him out on a date.  Our friends own an art  gallery and  are having a "Cinco de Mayo" event / party.

"So what if the three of us go.... then I go home with you for the night, J.... what do you say?"

J is still adjusting to this rather unusual relationship, but after some thought seemed to give it a thumbs up.

I mean, who can say no to Mistress?

  1. Cinco de Mayo is a lot more civilized in your neck of the woods than here

    Art galleries???

    Street rioting, gun battles and general mayham is the rule around here

    Kind of like a Mexican St. Patty's day Mick:)

    The stays away from Cinco de Mayo,

  2. Seems like you're going to be pretty creative over the next few months; more business trips, early/late meetings, etc. Should keep you on your toes!

    That's so true! She does have that way of wrapping her men round her little finger...

    What may surprise and amuse you is that your kids will assume you have been bereft and that their return has now made your lives complete again. i still remember what a shock it was to come home from college and discover my mother had not actually been holding her breath until i got home. Good for me, but a shock.
