It’s Monday and it’s -28 degrees C. outside. \u00a0What a winter we are having! \u00a0Brrrr\u2026. I feel like the house can’t quite get warm enough this morning. \u00a0The weekend was busier than usual. \u00a0Saturday Sanj was off to Simcoe, his hometown, with his parents for a funeral of a friend of theirs. \u00a0I’m sure it was nice for his family to be together and see folks that they haven’t seen in forever.<\/p>\n
Me, I was busy being in denial. \u00a0Sunday was a wedding show that I had signed up to be in. \u00a0Yet, I didn’t really know what I was going to serve and felt frustrated and overwhelmed with this looming in front of me. \u00a0Of course, as usual, life happens whether you’re ready or not and it was all good. \u00a0I had some of the boys with me. \u00a0My little appetizers I had were a hit\u2026 phew. \u00a0It was a long day and for me boredom sets in probably too easy. \u00a0Interesting people walked by. \u00a0Is there such a thing as normal? \u00a0I remember growing up, all I wanted was a normal family. \u00a0What is that? Normalness? (I realize that it may not be a real word as it came up on spell check- it’s what Sanj calls Reema-isms).<\/p>\n
While at the bride show, there were lots of young girls and teens that were there as models. \u00a0As they were walking around after the show, I couldn’t help but notice with alarm, the length of their “dresses.” \u00a0I mean at one point I was worried this girl’s bottom was going to peek out if she moved another inch. \u00a0I mean at the risk of sounding like my mom- I was appalled at the length of their outfits.<\/p>\n
As a mom of 6 boys I am constantly trying to teach my boys that women are to be respected. \u00a0Here’s the thing, when girls (not all) are walking around wearing nothing to the imagination, how can they be upset when they are treated like an object? \u00a0Is this classy? \u00a0Is this attractive? \u00a0I really don’t think so. I’m feeling so old.\u00a0 Yet even when I was younger, I felt embarrassed for girls that dressed leaving nothing to the imagination.\u00a0 I also wonder, where are their parents?\u00a0 Do they not care?<\/p>\n
