So, I am a single mom. I have 3 children, a 20 year old daughter, a 17 year old daughter, and a 14 year old son. We have had a very 'girl' home for some years now. This spring both of my girls will be away at college, which will mean it will just be my son and me, and my little boy dog. I guess I will be outnumbered and then it will be a very 'boy' home.
In preparation for that day, I have decided that it's not enough to just start burping and farting and scratching, so I am in the process of joining the local rod and gun club. But I don't have enough money to do that, so I am working off my club fees.
This past week I went out to do my first 4 hours of manual labor. It was a very hot and humid night. I mean HOT. I had come home from work, quickly changed into my nasties, and went out. I had to trim hedges for a while, and then wash down some double doors and then tape and paint it with oil paint. It was hot, I had begun sweating during the hedge trimming, and once I start, I can not stop. So I'm standing at the front door of the lodge, taping and painting. Turns out there was some type of meeting going on that night. So, all the men were coming for the meeting. And there I was...let me paint you the picture. I was in nasty clothing and they were soak and wet from sweat. My hair was totally soaked, I mean, plastered to my head and sweat dripping off of it and running down my face, which caused my makeup to run down my cheeks. My face was bright red from being overheated....I was a sight, and I was meeting all these men for the first time.
One of them went inside and came out with a fan. I asked, "Oh, do you want me to use that to try to dry the oil paint faster?" He said, "No, it's for you."
And I thought I looked sexy....
