Consistency


Hoss has a word for 2019.

Bet you cannot guess what it is...
The word is consistency.

It's almost like a new mantra.

He uses it by itself. Saying it slowly as if I might not understand.
Consistency.

He uses it in sentences.

Consistency is our new word, sweetheart.

We must have consistency to make DD work.

Consistency makes the whole house run smoothly.

Maintenance every night is one way to show consistency.

I smile at him.

I also shake my head.

He smiles back.

He means it when he says consistency.

It floats right off his tongue like it's magic or something.

Hoss will say it with a slightly different tone.

In this tone, he's referring to how I should also find consistency.
You need to be consistent.

You need to remember the need for consistency.

I agree.

I need to be more consistent.

I need him to be consistent.

I want him to be consistent.

I thrive on it.

It makes me feel secure.

I also know that when he is consistent, I feel his love.

You know what I also feel?

BERTHA.

That word consistency also has a new meaning.

It means Bertha's going to be consistently biting me in the butt!

Consistently yours,

--Baker

    1. Thanks, Roz,
      Yes, it's a good thing until I ask my butt and than sometimes it doesn't necessarily agree!

  3. I love how you made this one word into a whole post, Baker. It's true and you know it is. I have a post to get up today that will echo this message well. This is how I thrive, too!

  4. Bertha! Love the name. Consistency is good for all the reasons you already listed but Bertha..... maybe a good hand spanking once in awhile.

    1. Oh, Blondie, it's the spankings that he in consistent with and yes, Bertha plays a great part in that, but he uses his hands aplenty too!

  5. Good for Hoss, Baker ... he's focusing in on something that often gets missed ... too bad it also includes the consistent use of Big B :)) ... nj

    1. NJ,
      I think I agree, that it is so great that he is being consistent. But some days Bertha just doesn't sing the tune I want her to!

      That totally counts! I'm glad that the conflicting feelings are mutual.
