A VERY PROUD MUM IS ME X

I can’t tell you everything I did last week…

a) there’s too much to remember, b) I wouldn’t want to bore you… well not too much -and
c) some of it is a complete blur now. Let’s just say… it included high’s, lows, smiles, tears, working out hard, sweating buckets and even some prodding and poking here and there… (errr.. you at the back… please.. keep it clean!).

Today I’m gona beam about my number one (and only) 19 year old Son…

He tells me on Tuesday, he has an interview for a Sales job… not sure whether it was 10 or 20 calls I had from him that morning.. “where’s this, where’s that, what tie goes with what shirt..” point proven, he still needs his mum for SOME things!!

Off he went, and yes, I had every faith in him.. that’s MY boy, ‘course he’s gona get the job.. he’s intelligent (more than me I must say), smart, handsome and very ambitious. Every second after 2:30pm seemed to last a minute – waiting in anticipation for his call and trying to concentrate on my own work.

Then it came… bless him, you should’ve heard his voice.. happy as Larry he was/is…

“Guess who got the job?”…. errr.. the geezer in the car behind, lol!!

Off he went shopping, new shoes, new shirts, new socks… Err hum didn’t see no new underpants though.....?

He had an induction to go to the next day and would be starting FOR REAL on Thursday…

I’m SO HAPPY for him, he’s a hard worker, he’s even going to try and to keep his Bar tender job going and certainly doesn’t want to give up his DJ’ing …... he doesn’t stop - EVER… Hmmm wonder where he gets THAT from?

OK… I’m sure all mums say this… but…. If there’s one good/brilliant/fantastic thing I have achieved in this life.. it’s having my boy and bringing up a wonderful young man… he’s my star and every single day makes me proud.. I love him to bits. He has a big heart and a great character… yes his bedroom is the messiest in the world… but he has a cheeky way about him that enables him to get away with murder where I’m concerned…. And if a messy bedroom is the worst I have to contend with… it aint a bad lot!!!

Any ways – I just want you to know….. 6 days later, my boy is loving his new job…. Getting his teeth into it, and going out in the morning looking “proper dapper”….. OH… and he’s also talking about emigrating to Canada/South Africa any where…. and owning his own business within the next 18 months!!! You gotta love his ambition !!!!
