...I said 'son, you need to get a job....I love you and I'm telling you this for your own good...you need to get a job quickly.'...

...he said 'I know I do, but why quickly?'...

...I said 'son, you're starting to sound like a crazy cat woman!'...

My son playing with Mia through the breakfast room window...


...he said 'what do you mean?'...

...I said 'this last week, there have been a few times I've heard you talking and I ask you 'what'?, and you say 'nothing, I was talking to the cat'---'now y'all have always made fun of me because I say that all the time, well its happening to you too son...and you need to get a job before it takes over!'...

...he laughed...

...I heard him talking to the cat again...I'm worried...

My son & his buddy, Mia...

Thanks, yeah I'm not discouraging him from being a cat lover that's for sure...the more cat-loving men there are in this world, the better place it'll be for all of us!...just trying to 'gently' encourage him to find another job!

Lord willing, he'll be 20 in April!

Thank y'all! I appreciate it! Yep, he's a cutsie I think...and a really good hearted person.

His hair is kinda pouffy in that pic though...here's one where he's got it all wet and combed back...



Awww, my handsome sweetie pie!

Thanks for the vibes y'all...he's been unemployed for almost 2 months now...needs to get back out there!

Not only that...he plays acoustic & electric guitar...composes his own music but can play by ear Clapton, Santana, G&R for starters. He also refinishes furniture, upholsters furniture...he draws in charcoal...he's wonderful with his hands...I don't think there's anything he can't do! He's great in the kitchen as well...usually swaggers in there while I'm cooking, grabs the spoon, takes a taste and adds whatever he thinks it needs...oh yeah...he knows his way around the kitchen for sure! See, I homeschooled him since he was in 9th grade, so he got to spend lots & lots of time with me...learned more than just ABC's. He also makes some really respectful mashed potatoes! My daughter puts it like this: 'mom, your mashed potatoes are great...but when Alex makes them, there aren't any leftovers!!!'.....

Fixin' last night's mashed potatoes...

Your son is wonderful! You are obviously an amazing mom. I left home the day after I graduated high school and never looked back. To me, it says a lot that your kids want to stick around!

OMG I love his hair. My husband had long, thick, wavy hair when I married him. Women used to swoon over his hair!


You son's a cutie; no doubt someday you are going to have some beautiful grandbabies!

Thanks for the offer in SD Bonnie...the Black Hills sound wonderful...I'll let him know!

Funny you should mention grandbabies SwampWitch...I had a dream a couple of years ago...it was very brief, very colourful and very beautiful. My son was in a sitting position wearing what appeared to be pink hospital scrubs, holding a newborn in his arms. The baby had a headful dark, dark hair like his. I was standing behind him, looking over his shoulder and I said ''she's beautiful Alex''...and that was it. So I know in my heart that he'll have a daughter someday.

Another thing I forgot to mention aside from his refinishing furniture (I know I'll stop talking about him at some point y'all...
). Since he loves guitars, he bought one at a pawn shop and another from a friend a while ago...he didn't like that colours of either one of them so he decided he'd try & refinish them. He was able to take off the factory finish of each one and redid them both. The one I love the best is the one he got from his friend. Its a Fender with a bright red body and a white 'face' (I know its called something else but I can't remember right now what the proper term is.) Anyway, he didn't care for the red so he stripped off layers & layers of factory finish. When he was done with that, he sanded it smooth. He gave it a dark walnut stain and a high gloss finish. He put a black 'face' on it and restrung it with new, better strings. OMGoodness!!! it is a thing of beauty! I'll try and take a pic of it sometime to show y'all...I don't have a pic of it when it was red but its a very basic red Fender colour. Anyway...its gorgeous and sounds great!
