Sons and Girlfriends

A while back I posted about my Son and his new found freedom  Teenagers...let the worrying begin! and said that I would write at a later date about his new girlfriend.  

I had planned on writing about how in some ways I'm just like Bobby Boucher's (pronounced "Boo-SHAY") Mama from the waterboy.  Because at this point I think that any girl is the "Devil" and I can totally see my son and I having this conversation:

Mama Boucher: You gonna lose all your fancy "fools' balls" games! And your gonna fail your big exam! Because school is? 

Bobby Boucher: The devil? [Mama gasps] 

Bobby Boucher: Everything is the devil to you, Mama! Well, I like school, and I like football! And I'm gonna keep doin' them both because they make me feel good!

 Bobby Boucher: [Bobby runs out, slamming the door, then comes back in] And by the way, Mama. "Alligators" are ornery 'cause of their "Medula Oblongata"! 

 Bobby Boucher: [Bobby runs back out, then back in again] And I like Vicki, and she like me back! And she showed me her boobies and I like them too! [slams door on Mama] 

and of course: My son Loves his Mama!





The minute I found out that my son was in a relationship I saw Tweeder from Varsity Blues walking around caring that Baseball Bat singing "She broke my heart, so I broke her Jaw" but the quote that runs through my head is "She Broke his Heart, So I Broke Her Jaw!" and believe me I so would do it! Nobody hurts my baby and gets away with it!!!

In another previous blog post, I wrote about my Future Daughter-in-Law worries.... and how I have the most perfect son and how I was totally worried that some day I would no longer be #1.  Well I no longer worry about that. My son reads my blog and jokes with me on occasion how everyone in the world knows now much I love him, and he's right- well at least everyone that reads my blog knows now much I love him and I shouldn't be worried about being replaced because he will never replace me. I am his mom and only his mom. I'm not the girlfriend or future wife and I will always have a place in his life. I joked with him telling him that "Girls would come and go, but his mama would always be in his life, no matter what!" Not that he wanted to here that but on the other hand he needed to here it.  I know now that there is no need to worry about being replaced. I will always have a place in his life.

Not that I don't worry about him having a girlfriend, or finding "Mrs. Right" or if I will like her or not. Tyler is a great young man and has his head on straight for the most part and will pick the girl that is right for him-not the one that is right for mom. That girl will be the luckiest woman in the world and I will love her with all my heart because he loves her with all of his.  "BUTT" girlfriends beware~if you Break my Babies Heart...you'd better DUCK because when I swing I won't miss!

Teenagers...let the worrying begin!

I knew it wouldn't belong before my son would start to experiment with his new found 16 year old freedom and quite frankly am happy that he waited as long as he has before he put his no curfew limit to the test.  


Last night I woke up at Midnight and realized that my son was not yet home.  For the last few months he has been pretty good at getting in by midnight.  I went to my cell phone to check to see if he had sent me a text but there was nothing there, so the panic started to set in.  Was he ok, was he still at a girls house, was he in the ditch somewhere, was he out in a field at a party, had he been in an accident? These are the thoughts that run through my head and I was immediately awake.  So what do I do? Do I text him to see if he is ok, or do I just wait because I don't want him to think that I'm checking up on him or don't trust him? UGG! a Mother Dilemma! On one hand I wanted to know that he was ok and on the other hand I had to trust that he was ok.  I forced myself to go back to bed and I went without my cell phone and trusted that he was ok.  I thought, well he is just having fun and lost track of time and then my mind started to wonder again, oh my he is at a girls house, with a girl that he likes and what are they doing, I know what I was doing at age 16 and then the panic set in! AUGH!!! My hair turned completely grey!!!


I tossed and turned and listened for the garage door to open.  I must have fallen asleep and then was awakened by the light in the basement! I saw him walk by the living-room-he didn't see me but my heart started to beat regularly now. My baby boy was home, safe and sound and alright.  All was well and everyone was safe and sound!


The next morning I woke up and went to my computer as normal, looked at my email and went to Facebook to see what went on while I was asleep to find this on my son's profile 

 in my news feeds !!!! We'll save the new Girlfriend for another post!
