I'm a single mom and live in a small apartment with my only son. I am active at my church with the sports programs and coach both a 10 to 12 girls team and use to help coach a 10 to 12 boys team. I had all the boys uniforms in boxes in the corner of my bed room for lack of space elsewhere. I was sick and came home from work one afternoon around 1pm never thinking about the uniforms. When I got home I showered took some asprin and got into bed naked which I seldom do. I knew my son was going out with his father and wouldn't be home til about 7 or 8pm. What I didn't know was my son gave our neighbor Brian the key to our apartment. Brian is 11, the same age as my son, and I am very good friends with his parents. My son gave him the key, without my knowledge, so the boys could pick up their uniforms after school that day. I normally don't get home until 5:30 or 6pm. Hence, the most embarrasing and humiliating situation I've ever been in. I remember stirring and hearing noises and maybe even someone talking but didn't pay much attention to it. I know I was on my back at first but soon rolled over facing the door. I heard laughter from the living room and when I finally was able to wake up there were six or eight of the boys looking at me from the doorway. As soon as they saw I was awake they ran into the living room. I jumped up and put on my robe right away but knew it was to late. It was 3:30 and because it was so warm I had no cover on me in bed. I knew they saw me naked and was almost in tears. When I went into the living room three of the boys were still there, Brian and the other two started to apoligize telling me they didn't know I was home. I was so embarrassed I don't remember what I said to them and was just anxious for them to leave. When my head cleared I checked the boxes and found that 12 of the boys got their uniforms that day. All of them must have seen me naked and I called Brians mother right away to tell her what happened. I don't really know who she or the boys told but within a day or so everyone knew about it. Nobody was really mad at me except my son and many of the parents even laughed about it which didn't deminish my embarrassment. I had to stop helping with the boys team and am mortified every time I see any of them and especially the ones I know saw me like that. Its been over a month now since this took place but I am still embarrassed every time I see any of the boys. My son still asks me why I had to be naked and I don't have an explanation for it except I was tired and sick. Its a terrible situation to be in and if my son isn't home and one of his friends knocks for him I don't even answer the door and pretend I'm out. If his friend or friends come to our apartment I stay in my bedroom the entire time. I was always out going with all the girls and boys before but feel so awful about it now. I still coach the girls team but am to ashamed to be around the boys. Some of the men in the sports program tease me at times and ask if they can come over and pick up their uniform. I know they are just joking with me but even that is embarrassing. My son even told my X-husband what happened and he thinks its funny also. I wish I could see the humor in it and maybe someday I will. Right now it bothers me everyday.
