This summer a small group of Cub Scouts from my Pack went away to sleepover camp. Four moms joined me as adult leaders. It never occurred to me that a group of women would be noticed, never mind create a stir. One night we had to prepare our own fire then make “foil dinners”. You take meat and vegetables and wrap them in foil then throw them in coals from a fire. We had apples with [...]
Today, in honor of Father’s Day, I have a guest post from my son who just finished 7th grade. His teacher sent his original exam question to us through the U.S. Mail. She included a letter explaining students had to respond to a prompt comparing two texts then added: I have enjoyed reading these essays by my students, but your son’s was so heartfelt I thought you might enjoy reading as well.

It states that he is Single and a Leo. He used a different name “Hugh” but the correct hometown. I don’t think he’s THAT much younger than me but let’s not quibble about that claim. There’s no picture. For those women out there who have myspace accounts, you may know about the propositions. Often they are from men without [...] Truthfully, it’s been a bad couple of weeks for me as a woman in my little town. First I met an old man who was a photographer and he kept letting his camera hit me inappropriately and apologizing with that look on his face. Second, I was out to see my friends’ band and this guy sat between me and the band and kept turning around and outright staring at me. Then he took the [...] |
