You didn't let me have a sleep over.

Yesterday while I was driving down to pick up the boys for the weekend my phone rang. It was my 11 year old calling form his mom's cell. He asked if he could sleep over at his best friend's house. I told him he knew how I felt about that because I only get to see him every other weekend; couldn't you do it a weekend you are at your mom's house? He begged, I said no unless you can give me a good reason. He hung up dejected. Ten minutes later my phone rang again. So up go the windows, down goes the volume on my radio and I answer. It's my son again who tries to give me two reason, neither of which were valid. He then hands the phone to his best friend who tries to convince me that since his parents are divorced as well that both reasons are valid. I disagree with both again. They hang up still dejected. I call the husband and ask him about a proprosal I am going to make and he agrees. I call my son back and tell him he is more than welcome to have his friend sleep over up in Hoboken which I get a quick, curt no thank you to.

I expected him to decline. First off he is 11 and getting to that stage were parents aren't cool. Added to that is then his friend would meet the husband and I am pretty sure my son still has yet to expand the circle of his friends who know dad is a big, old homo. I will not force him to tell anyone and will never embarrass him but I do look forward to the day some time far off in the future when my orientation will not be an issue for him.

I have to play chauffer again this weekend. Thankfully today's game is in the afternoon so the four of us had a nice breakfast and didn't have to rush out of here first thing in the morning. We have to be there early today since it is team picture day. The weather forecast on MSN said it was supposed to rain and thunder storm this afternoon but so far it is clear blues skies.

So, the other day I got a message on a social networking site I am a member of. I was asked if I would like to do porn. While truly flattered I kindly explained to the gentleman that I have a full time job, don't think my husband would be all that thrilled and what would I do if, God forbid, my sons ever found out? Seriously, in this day and age if you put it on the web you will get found out. Social networking sites I have no problem with but all out porn? So not happening.
