I love the Holiday Season!

OK, if Rye saw that I just typed this out he would be mocking me because going in to Christmas, I am a wreck. But now that it is over….whew.. gald it’s over! But what I do adore, is that it makes a certain son of mine crawl out of the woodwork!

Yeah..got a call from the Max!

Which was really funny as I had just finished replying to Caitlyn who was notifing me that she had texted him to check his Email since I sent the article link..once again, I thought, gee.. fast work! But, no, he was just calling on his own, sans girlfriend prodding!

Anyhoo.. lovely conversation. Talked about what the crazy siblings are up to, the glory of my busted arm, the benefits of community colleges vs. annoying dorm life. I was glad to hear that his semester off worked out good for him and he is going back to school.. whew! And somehow, knowing that what annoys him about college… the intensity of party on college life…is what drove him away. not the love of education, is a good thing. I can so totally relate, and I did.. heck, that was one of my reasons for not wanting to be in NYC ..too much pressure to be doing-doing-doing all the time.
We talked about Garin’s band achievements and shows.. Max’s band too…Scarlett told him about her loose teeth…Tristan acted very excited to say Hi as well.. and then, the good bnews was given: The boy has achieved wheels again.. and is promising to give us all a visit!! In fact, we tentativly talked him getting down here for Garin’s next show on Jan. 6th!
<—–smiling!
AND.. very cool.. and worth a later discussion.. we are toying with writing a “he said, she said” article together. How cool is that? He writes, I write…and it would be excellent. And what is nice too…he brought it up….That he would be interested in sharing his perspective as an adoptee.
I am just so happy to hear from him…and then I can just pinch myself! It’s like..yeah, sniff sniff..I still get called Mom..yeah..sniff sniff..he wants to visit again big time..yeah..sniff sniff ..he ended with him asking me to tell everyone that he loves them and will see them soon.

Somehow, that’s all I needed for Christmas, though I am doublely pleased as sneaky Rye got me my four peas in a pod necklace! I adore it! 🙂

And then an added Xmas bonus.. My interview with Northeastern Public Radio is being aired tonight as part of a news segment…So, I think you can hear the stream of it here. At least for now, with the part two getting aired tomorrow..which you can get to here. I haven’t heard it yet..
I think I kind of sound wacky. It was much more of a conversational, gabby interview.. and it was like an hour of Claud babble..cut and turned into a five minute news piece..so..I don’t know. But the facts are decent until the dork at the end who seems to be totally in the dark about things.
