He Kissed Her

Tonight I'm sad. I just found out Dillon kissed Annie.  But why would I be sad about that?  Probably because I took him at his word when he said he would wait until he got married to kiss her.  I really believed him.  I was hopeful that he would wait.  But he didn't.  I suppose I knew he would eventually.  Alright, I guess mothers intuition knew he did already, I was just hoping I was wrong.  I hate it when I'm right!

Well default response is "well I guess it could be worse."  Or "well, I had already done worse by his age."  These stupid responses are just that... STUPID!  I need to figure out what my true feelings are about this and deal with it. I acted like I wasn't shocked by it, very even keeled actually.  Cool as a cucumber.

OH HOW NAIVE COULD I BE!!!!! REALLY!

 GRRR I have a headache.  Im going to bed!

Scouts

Recently I signed Aaron up for Cub Scouts.  He is so excited about this.  We went to a meeting last Thursday, and officially signed him up last night.  He went out tonight to sell popcorn to earn money for his account so he can do things with his den.  As my little bear cub is trying to fall asleep tonight, he's practicing tying the bowline knot on a rope his den leader showed him how to tie last Thursday, at the den meeting.  The event he's most excited about right now is Cub Fun Day, this Sunday.  After we got home from the den meeting last week, Aaron was excitedly telling Ben how much fun he had and that he learned how to tie a bowline knot.  Ben looked at me and said, "Mom, will I get to be a Boy Scout too someday and learn how to tie knots like Aaron?"     


I signed Hannah up for American Heritage Girls last Sunday, it's going to be a lot of fun also!  AHG is like Girl Scouts, but better!  She and I are going to a fund raiser / informational meeting / movie night on November the 5th.  The groups will officially begin meeting in January. We are very much looking forward to making new friends and learning all kinds of wonderful scouting things with AHG.           

Week 7

We're on week 7 of school and things seem to be moving right along.  Hannah and Aaron are finally in a groove.  At last, I feel like I can breathe and get things done around the house besides just school!

Dillon is complying so far, but I do worry about him and college.  I wonder if he's even college material, is that where God wants him? What is Dillon's plan?  It seems like all he is concerned with is Annie.  I hope thats not the case, I hope he's not waisting away his senior year.  He wants to apply to Robert Morris University, I just don't see him being successful at school at all.  But what do I know, God knows better than I do, maybe Dillon will mature enough by then to make it work...who knows!
