Fast forward to today, he's almost 700 miles away from me and on a trip that I've spent 6 months paying for. I'd like to know how he's doing, is he having fun, how was the drive, is there a tornado about to touch down, is he still alive, you know, silly things like that. I've gotten one text from him and it was to ask me where I packed something. When I text him, I get one word responses...yep, nope, fine. At least I know he is healthy enough to text back 3 to 4 letter responses.
So, if you're keeping score: Concerned Mom, 1 point Stalker, 0 points (yay!)
But we can't just leave it there can we? No.
That is where Facebook and 15 year old girls come into play. You see, I'm Facebook friends with a girl in the band who is also on the trip. This girl is awesome. I've known her most of her life, and I enjoy being Facebook friends with her.
One huge difference between 15 year old boys and 15 year old girls is that boys text their moms one word updates, whereas girls post pictures, check ins, and LOTS of comments on Facebook. I know everything that Son #1 is doing, but only because I am
So, keep the one word texts coming kiddo, so I know your still alive. And keep the Facebook post coming, sweet girl, looks like a fabulous trip so far.
Concerned mom: 1 point Stalker: 1 point

I tell my child, if I seem obsessed to always know where you've been, it is because my DNA will be found at the scene. ~Robert Brault

Well, since I'm already a crazy stalker mom, I guess I will talk to myself.
I wonder if anyone else is reading this at all? I guess someone is b/c the counter keeps increasing.
I really shouldn't talk to myself at 12:30 at night, I tend to ramble and not make much sense.
My TV is broken, so I can't watch Chopped like I planned, bummer. I already have 2 dead TVs in this room, I guess this is the place TVs go to die. I'm a serial TV killer!!
