Rerun

I love my son dearly.....I should my sons........I love them both dearly. They each have their own personalities and each have a special uniqueness about them. I am happy about this because I basically raised them as twins. They are two years apart and when they were little, they were dressed alike, maybe a slight variation of the color scheme. They shared the same bedroom, played the same games, etc.......But now, they are their own young man/boy. I say boy because even though they want to be treated like men, they are still boyz.

My oldest has REALLY become his own man. He has deviated from his once slight preppy/pretty boy atire to a raging Goth. That was his "girl'z" suggestion....which doesn't delight me in the least, especially the tattoo (only one, thank God) and rediculous piercings. What a waste of time and money. I will talk more about the girl later. She can really get on my last nerve. And, I told her so.......more later.

But he is very sweet natured and tries real hard. He does. And ,he means well. But he has a few character flaws (don't we all?) that can irritate me to hell and back. I am completely aware of how severely he can spin me because he shares a few a his father's character flaws, yes, the same ones, that spun me like a top!

He's late for everything!!!!!!!! A chip off the old block (head). And, it's because of his hair. I mentioned the piercings and tattoo...but not the hair. It's spiked and I am not talking about the prettyboy/short spikes he was sporting in high school. I am talking the Statue of Liberty!!!!! He uses this glue stuff, that whatever he touches in the process, has this slimy, disgusting coating on it. It's just wrong! And, it takes forever, which in turn, causes him to be late..........!!!!!!!! Late for work, late for college, (was dropped from one class semester) all because of his hair!!!! I did mention he is male and NOT female......worse than a girl!

The sad thing is: he doesn't care how his tardiness affects other people. See, I firmly believe that perpetually late people are very self-centered and selfish. They send the message loud and clear that their time is more valuable and important than yours. It's all about them. Tardiness, in my brain, is also a passive/ aggressive, control issue.

Hi father and I always fought about his tardiness. He, like his son, was late for everything...........except one thing.........his band! Kids could be standing in front of school for a half an hour waiting for him, he wouldn't care..........Actually that happened to me outside of college. He was "running" so late that in the process to pick me up, he received a speeding ticket...Idiot, be on time and you won't have to break several traffic laws!

But, I am finding that my oldest shares this same trait and he is causing me to be late for my work. Yes, he works for me on the days he doesn't have class and why take two cars? I get very upset and stressed because, now, I am working twice as hard to make up for lost time. This is why I have named him: RERUN..........just like the guy from the old 70's show. For the life of me, I can not remember the name of the show..........all of the characters, but not the name of the show.

But my son is Rerun (he's not overweight.....we aren't that sterotypical Italian.........) hH's a rerun of his father.

I just hope he doesn't piss me off so bad that I kick his butt out also! Nah, just playing. I won't.
