I am always proud of what my children achieve though it may not be much in the eyes of others each little obstacle they overcome is something for me to praise them for,not always openly too much praise can sometimes have adverse effects just as too little can.
My son dropped out of school without taking his exams this was his choice,not one I wanted him to make but he was old enough to make his own decisions. Since then he has had numerous jobs,seems he couldn`t find anything that kept him interested,nothing that satisfied this hunger he seemed to have.
Two years ago he started working at a sports bar/nightclub,within a few months he was bar supervisor,then bar manager. He is now Assistant manager and being trained by the company that owns the venue to eventually take over as manager. A job he already does as the 'Manager' also manages another club.
OK so its not that big a thing,but the Owners of the venue gave my son permission to do a re-launch of the nightclub side. It has been a poor six months or so and takings for the night club haven`t been as good as they could be.
He investigated all sorts of different ideas and came up with the one he wanted to do,they discussed it and the money involved and eventually they gave in and said ok do it.
Tonight is the re-launch,I walked round town today and everyone is talking about the club and my sons name is being mentioned everywhere. Apparently he has hired a club DJ named Danny Bond to do the music tonight. Now I dont have a clue who this guy is,but apparently he is some bigwig club DJ that plays all over the country. And this is the talk of the town,they are expecting maximum capacity crowds tonight.They have hired extra doorstaff and bearing in mind that this venue is over two floors with the nightclub on the top floor and the sports bar on the bottom it is going to be a long night for my son and his staff.
And when I was walking round the town and hearing all these people talking about how Mike must really be something to get Danny Bond I am thinking thats my son they are talking about. And it made me feel good.
I am a very proud mama tonight. But then I always am

Still pouring it down here,and windy.It is really gloomy outside. There were 33 songs named yesterday that had rain in the title. So how about songs that just have references to weather in their titles like.
Dont let the Sun go down on me....Elton John and George Michael.
Storm in a teacup......Thunderclap Newman
The sun aint gonna shine anymore......The Walker Brothers.
Damn I`m stuck again,as with the rain songs I am sure that there are a lot more than that or I thought there was.
