Kylie glowered at Rick, "And I'm your wife," she pointed toward the room where Jason slept, "and that's your son. Your friend is a menace to himself, this family and anyone else he comes in contact with."

Download or read book Their First Teacher is You written by Duncan C. Nutter and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Their First Teacher is You! If You Want to Become a Better Parent, First Become a Better Person. A Loving and Encouraging Memoir for Parents, Written by a Teacher and Father By: Duncan C. Nutter Their First Teacher is You is a memoir and parental advice mash-up. Father of seven children and author Duncan C. Nutter has a unique and varied background not only as a father but as an educator for primary and middle-school students. His primary goal is to make parents more conscious of what they are modeling for their children. This is not a how-to guide but a call to action for parents to begin to acknowledge their accountability in how they live their lives and the best way to model their lifestyle as a positive and nurturing environment for their children. Nutter himself has struggled with being bullied, physical and mental abuse and has turned those challenges into learning experiences, becoming “that teacher,” the one who demands all students are held accountable for their actions through academics and behavior while keeping his own example in check. This is a powerful model for parents as active parent involvement with positive examples speaks volumes over words.

Book excerpt: Joe Noone woke to painful ringing in his ears. His eyes stung and were crazy-glued shut. It felt like a team of surly Swedish furniture makers who lacked both the manual and universal handy tool were slowly rebuilding his mind. They erected shelves at gross angles that eventually came toppling down with a crash. His stomach lurched. Joe groaned and reached out in anguish to find something to hang on to. His hand brushed over the console of his security station. "Oh, God." Suddenly he realized where he was. Work. Drunk. Again Joe Noone is a young, alcoholic security guard entering the fifth year of his mostly exemplary employment at the American headquarters of multinational conglomerate VirCorp. After passing out one night on the job, he wakes to find he's lost a day of his life-and his job. Gathering steam to plead his case before the head of personnel, Joe finds himself a pawn in a sinister plot within the Byzantine world of corporate politics that seeks to upset the balance of power of not only VirCorp, but of society itself. Between employment and enslavement, chases and escapes, unscrupulous executives and crocus plants (affectionately named Dennis), author Scott Walldren's exciting debut novel Human Resources is a comedic portrayal of a world that is quickly evolving.

Download or read book Living to Tell Your Story written by Mikey Graham and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-12-04 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: August 1952, the Korean War was in its second year. Granny stirred the pot on the stove as the image of Andy getting on the bus headed to the army base crossed her mind; she heard a noise then looked toward the front door. Momma looked up as she sat at the table shelling beans, impressed at the two men in uniform as they came in. They paused for a moment as they removed their caps. Her brother Andy was home on leave, bringing along a buddy of his, Clive, to enjoy a home-cooked meal and spend a few days on the Gulf Coast along the Long Branch River. Andy had spun many tales of his time along the river, and Clive was eager to see for himself. Their daddy was at the store working alone; usually they all would work together, allowing his wife and daughter to be at home when they arrived. Clive was immediately attracted to Momma: slim build, long black hair, and hazel-green eyes. Momma was swept off her feet, and she and Clive married nine months later. Daddy had to force Clive to marry and face his responsibilities. Granny never did like him very much because he was much older than her daughter and there was always strife between them, but she was pleased the children would have a daddy. She turned fifteen ten days after giving birth to her firstborn. By 1960, Momma had five children and a husband who was abusive and too interested in other women. Near year’s end, he decided to leave once again, never to return. He left the family car, but Momma could not drive. Granny was living with them since her husband passed, and she could not drive either. They met Allen Stone, who lived in their neighborhood, who agreed to drive them to Machanna, which should have only taken about four hours. Several months later, their kidnapper Allen Stone was arrested along with Momma. They were placed in a foster home until she was cleared of any involvement with him in his crime-ridden trail across the country. She remained there with them working in the foster home until she paid them back for their care and raised enough cash for the trip home. Almost a year later, they made their way to Uncle Andy’s house in Machanna.

So then my mama goes and gets engaged - the woman rediscovered her hoohaw! - and I have to head back home to meet my new stepdaddy and attend her wedding. And she wants me to bring my boyfriend with me. Um...which one? This is where the hypocrisy thing comes in, because I've never told her what's really going on with me and my boyfriends.

That's what I've been telling Trevor and Joe for our entire relationship, and now that the tables are turned on me, what do I do? Break up with them and run back home.
