Planet Bones

I'm not on this weekend as I'm out of town. I do have things to blog about, but just not the time... I mean, look at the timestamp. I just finished packing.

I have some ugly business to handle this weekend in an organization I'm in, and I strongly suspect I'm on the losing side. I'm up for the fight, but... we'll see.

As for the Variety Show that was tonight, let me just say that Bones is absolutely one of the funniest kids around and it was confirmed tonight. I was laughing so hard at times I was crying, people behind me were laughing, by the end, Bones would get on stage and people would break out in laughter with his just standing there.

That is truly all it took. Bones gets on the stage and Bwhahahahahaha!

I had many many people say to me, "I want to take him home..." to which I replied, "No you don't."

And it's not that I don't love my son. Good Lord knows I love him with all my heart and as with the other two, I would die for him.

But Bones is a lot of work. There are nights I go to bed so thoroughly exhausted I want to cry. God Love Him. He tries, but sometimes... it is just tough being in Bones' skin.

Fortunately, he doesn't seem to realize it. Which is hysterical in itself.

Anyway, as funny as he is, with his swagger, his self assurance, his high energy, his facial expressions, it is exhausting, but fortunately, there are far more blessings to Bones being Bones.

I am sitting here laughing remembering some of the things he did and his song Getalong Cindy. What a frickin' riot. One minute he had the swagger, moving his hair, looking tough and controlled and mischievous, and the next minute he was standing there looking like a frickin' choir boy singing high as he could, with the most angelic expression that made everyone laugh.

An older woman behind me said, "Is that your son?" I answered yes and she said, "He's going somewhere. I'm telling you now, watch that boy."

My goal is to keep the places he'll go as a positive! Only good places!!!

Mr. T's first Jazz solo went very well! He needs to play louder, but I was proud, this his 2nd year playing.

Ringo helped keep the 6th grade rock band on tempo. He came back for the show just to help them out. Young bass players are tough to find and he fills their billet, he plays bass and he can keep them together with his additional years of experience.

There was loads of talent, some amazing singers... some girls with voices so sweet, on pitch, that it melted my heart. The boys seem to have some excellent comedic timing. It was good to laugh so much.

I bought the CD. I'll laugh again.

So I'm off for now.

Play nice...
