Teenwolf has gone off to South Africa. Yup far away on another continent for 2 whole weeks. Calm? Well not calm more resigned. It is a rugby tour and that is the part that gives me the clenches. <\/p>\n
Huge South African rugby monsters bearing down on my wee Teenwolf gives me the shivers. For Gods sake Mum! is the expression that can be heard cannoning round the walls of our home as I come out with another of my tips and statements.<\/p>\n
\u2018Don\u2019t get squashed, dragged or broken\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018The Police have guns.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Drink lots of water but not the water from the tap. But don\u2019t get dehydrated\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Check the bus looks safe\u2019 <\/p>\n
And so it goes on. The paranoia and inability to \u2018back off\u2019 is in evidence I realise this. So I bit my tongue. My reward? I was allowed to hug him before her went \u2013 though not outside the house and certainly not at the airport. Our farewell had to take place inside in the hall. So all I said with my grin in place \u2013 albeit shaky at the edges \u2013 was \u2018Keep in touch\u2019.<\/p>\n
Girding myself for a phone call half way through his trip when he runs out of clean knickers my heart soared as a text pinged in from him. Oh he\u2019s realised that not seeing me for 2 weeks may have an impact on his life. It read \u2018Did I leave my ipod charging in the kitchen?\u2019<\/p>\n
On investigation the ipod has been found on the passenger seat of the long suffering husbands car – the one who was permitted to drop him at the airport. I texted back. We are currently in radio silence. He is flying to London as I write. Without me. Yes I know he is 16 but\u2026.but\u2026..but\u2026.I am his mother.<\/p>\n
So having spent the past 6 months building up a massive collection of music on his Ipod \u2013 for psyching themselves for matches etc. this is hideous blow. I understand completely. If I had had to go anywhere without my \u2013 count the years – \u2018Sony Walkman \u2013 yes the cassette player with giant headphones and my Sister Sledge and Iggy Pop medley \u2013 I would have been gutted too. So much as my sympathy is with him \u2013 with a courier quoting \u00a345 to deliver it \u2013 it seems he will have to take up Yoga and get on with it.<\/p>\n
Yup I am all heart.<\/p>\n
Clenched but realising I have two weeks of not cooking 53 stone of food every 3 hours. What can I get up to? No let\u2019s see\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
