I'm glad Father's Day went well. I'm sure he was thrilled with the magnet and it had to bring back some good memories of that day.
I'm sorry about all of the texting. I would have been tempted to ask him if he could refrain from texting until later. After all, he's a teenager and needs to learn some manner along the way as well.
I'm sure your mil was quite surprised to learn that he wasn't going to be around to go camping. She's going to start putting two and two together very soon. It's a shame he can't kick the "TT" habit.
Yes, I can understand your anger. I would have been angry too w/the little lies and how he falls all over himself to tell you what he's doing, etc., when you already know he's off to see the "TT". Me, I would be tempted to go visit the golf course or whereve he says he's going to be and when he returned home and said how the day went, I would have to tell him that I was there and didn't see him...now, that would be a priceless photo op. Sometimes, we have to do 180's and not get in a rut w/our own way of handling things...again this is how I would handle this little "TT" trips. LOL!
TV, you are doing great. I'm sorry he's still out there. I wish I could move the hands on his time clock from Rip's time to the present time for you. I'm glad to see that you have set up an appointment to be pampered. You own it to yourself.
I hope the week is a good one for you.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
