As grown up as CJ has gotten, and as important as this work is he's doing, boy needs to call his mama when things run long like this. Fact.
I could also use some cranky!bloomers. Not particularly right now, but in general.

Allyson, you look good and don't need Botox and lip collagen. I can't imagine why you think differently. I will keep telling you that even without your cleaning my house, because it's true. Cleaning my house would be awesome, though.

God the Dark Knight is so damn good.
It's Emmett's all-time favorite movie.

PETA. Sigh.
My mother now has a FB profile. It says she's "interested in men and women". I have to balance the mummyness against the myfamilyness, that means it's more likely not getting how the things work, versus her thinking it's an appropriate way to announce she's bisexual at 70.
Could it be both?

He may well have no coverage. I spent the last four days in Boulder, at my brother's house in one of the canyons, and the only provider there (only 7 minutes from downtown) with any reliability was Verizon.
I hope you hear from him soon, Suzi.

I'm sure that is a big part of it Consuela. I'm just so blooming tuckered, my patience is not working.
There is one gal on the team who often gives him a ride to and from various ARP things. But she didn't go on this call, so I know I'm his ride home. I'm whining. I'm cranky. I'm sorry.

No, that's hard, Suzi. It's one thing to do that on your own as an adult, but when he's dependent on you for transportation, etc., it's a lot to ask. I would be cranky, too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
How are you going to manage that during the school year, Suzi?
I don't think I'd let Emmett take calls when he has school the next day.
I mean, I totally admire CJ for doing this and think it could be a great path for him. But you can't do that all day and do algebra the next day.

No kidding David...and he has Algebra first period.
Our agreement is that as long as he is pulling As and Bs, then he can go on Sunday calls and the during school emergency calls (lost Alzheimer or autistic person).
The school is well aware of the ARP program and what the kids are doing. They know the kids carry pagers and may need to leave during the day. Those absences are automatically excused. But, like I said, it only works if he puts in that extra effort to keep his grades up.
