Angry & Heartbroken

Today I went to pick up my son Johnny, and I call his house but no answer. Then I call his mothers cell phone & she answers & she tells me she thinks my son is not @ home. First of all she doesn't really know where he is @ and that he might be gone to a white wings game. So I went to his grandmothers house to look for him but he was not there. Then I really got mad, but I didn't want this to ruin the evening @ my moms house. All these thoughts are going thru my head and I am wondering what I am doing wrong. He knows it is my weekend to pick him up he is 13 he can pick up the phone & say "Hey dad can I go to the White wings game with my grandpa & uncles. That's all he has to do I am wasting my time looking for him not to mention my gas man I was fuming mad. I keep thinking that I don't see him much I try to be a father to him even though I only see him every other weekend. I want him to know I care for him I love him. I will have a talk with him whenever I pick him up now. He knows I have rules @ my house & that I am the parent & he can't run my house how he does @ his moms house. He is the oldest grandson on his mothers side so he gets whatever he wants it is so frustrating but hey I made this mess huh I can't blame no one but myself. I will just continue praying for him he is a teenager now and he thinks he rules the world, not in my house buddy. I am strict and sometimes mean to my boys but hey I have to. They know I love they do they run to me hug me all the time they can't wait to see me after work or they will call to work just to hear me. I know I am doing something right but I can't handle one of them going astray. That would really tear me up. Just pray for him and me also I am so mad, but hey I just got to get over it an deal with it. I try so hard to teach him how to act proper, but like kids you just pray they behave when you are not around. I am over it know I don't know what I will do next week I probably won't go get him because it is not my weekend all he has to do is call, and let me know what he is going to do instead of me running around looking for him. It is already going to be 1Am so I think I will just go to bed now with Johnny on my heart just praying for him. I love him just like I do my other boys. Just pray for him his mother is lost and doesn't care what he does.

Piano Player & Sidekick

Here is Mike & David @ Mikes piano recital, and he did so good for only taking a couple of lessons. He has been practicing & learning piano for a year now. He does pretty good here at the house, but when he playes @ church he gets nervous & forgets some keys but that is OK. Today I was talking to my wife on the phone I asked he what she was listing to because I heard music in the background. She told me it was mike and he was playing pretty good. I am so proud of him , but I don't want him to get the big head all I can do is encourage him. I want to thank J for giving him the keyboard he had,it really touched our hearts when he did that. Mike loves his keyboard.

Cleaning the Car

Yes it's a Craftsman.Yes he is 3 yrs old. Yes it's a Chevy. 1998 Chevy Prizm pretty old but it is paid for and has been a very dependable car. Has taken us to Louisiana a couple of times to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to San Antonio, TX and to Odem, TX. This car has about 160 to 170 thousand miles on it. When I got this car it had 70,000 we got it about 4 yrs ago. Also takes my friend J to Wallbangers.

David

Here is David being fearless, and jumping off the stairs at church. Today David played his last game of summer league, and I hope he learned something about baseball. To be like that just to do it, just to jump just do it. He saw I was taking pictures, and he said" look at me daddy take a picture of me" so I did. Man I like to take pictures sometimes it bugs people, but I don't care.

wetarted

This is my friend David from work he looks a little slow j/k. He found a helmet that is to small actually it was his wife's, but he still put it on it was funny. I took my sons motorcycle out to his house just for fun so Mike could ride it, it never gets used around our house we live in the city. It was fun that night he cooked out, we had some ribs, chicken ,and corn from the grill it was cool.
