Bossy’s Favorite Things

Watching TV with her two kids. Or doing just about anything with her two kids.

As a few readers have pointed out in the comment section, Bossy’s son has been scarce the past bit of time, owing to his full time summer job, which ended this past Wednesday. Now the countdown to sophomore year begins, a scant number of days remaining before he’s driven back up the turnpike to Columbia University.

Send tissues.

   Ah, this looks like the scene at my house, substituting a cat for Stella, and deleting me because I have to work away from the house.
   My boy heads back to Morningside Heights next Friday, to staff freshman orientation. He’s picked skirt steak for dinner tonight: his last Friday night at home. I am suprised to feel a bit sad, as we have been pushing each other’s buttons all summer.
   Take care, p.j.
   p.s. Remember to try the G.W. bridge & come down the West Side Highway to 125th. Awesome views.

   Along with some tissues, Grandma J thinks she’ll tell Santa to send the Bossy family a nice cushy sectional couch for the family room.

   Who has the longest legs, Bossy’s Daughter, Bossy’s Son, or Stella?

   Bossy you are so lucky! My son doesn’t come home for the summer because he has a job he likes where he is going to college. Please share your tissues with me!

   Hey, they’re hanging out in my guest bedroom! I assumed it would have been cordoned off with velvet ropes by now. Hmph.

   Nice to see Bossy Son for a brief cameo again.

   My gonna-be-a-junior nephew is doing a count-down on facebook til he goes back to college. (His mom doesn’t see his facebook stuff. She’s prob still aware.)

    Bossy’s children have really long legs (even the four-legged one).

    *sniffle* I miss him already too. Even though he sometimes hates being photographed, we all love seeing him in the Bossy abode.

    I see that Bossy’s Son’s large Columbia brain requires a good amount of padding to support it! What a sweet scene with both of the kids lovin’ absentmindedly on Stella, and with you no doubt stealing loving gazes at them all.
