Why do I love Tuesday nights? Because that is when I have a some individual time with my 15 year old. We started watching the tv show "The Mentalist" together. Ever since that first episode, Tuesdays from 9-10 has been our time. No matter what he is doing, he stops and comes to join me. He is usually the one reminding me that "it's our night mom". How cool is that!? I know it doesn't sound like much but it's nice to have something in common with a 15 year old boy. We chat about life during the commercials and try to solve the crime before the other one does. To my surprise, one week he had a friend over and they both came down to join me watching the show, the show was not on that night but they stayed for the hour anyway and just chatted and laughed with me. That was pretty neat. Call me selfish but I hope "The Mentalist" is on for years to come. You all should watch it and tell your friends to watch it also. We need the ratings to stay up so it will stay on the air. I hope you all find a special time with your loved ones...no matter how silly it seems. Don't get me wrong, we all spend a lot of time together as a family, and I love it. But with teenagers, they start to close down and spend more time in their room, with friends, playing sports, and whatever else, so it's nice when they make special time just for you. Thanks Anthony...I love you!
