Another terrible day at Scouts for the kiddo. He is ready to quit even tho he is a hop and skip away from being an Eagle. He just cant take it anymore! He hates going, hates the activities, hates camping; there is not much possitive things even I can say about it. We have to make a decision soon as this is making our lives miserable.
One thing I will miss about Scouts is the quiet time I was able to spend alone when he was camping overnight, or even at meetings for a couple hours. Perhaps I am being selfish here, but time alone to me is very precious and extremely rare in my life. When I get some time, on occasions I would shop a good sale, buy myself something special or most often, stay home with a good cup of tea and I have a nice quiet relaxing evening.
However, being a Mom mean taking care of the family and family always comes first. Right now life is about him first and me second. When he goes to college in a few years, or even High School next year, I am sure I will get more alone time than I could ever want! So hang in there Mom, things happen for a reason . . .
