A mother knows these things..

Since the Kheather lives within spittin' distance and we talk several times a day I pretty much know what, where and whom shes doing something with. Not so with the son. Granted he's 30yo, has a live in girlfriend, he lives in south Florida and can take care of himself but, he should still follow ET's lead and "phone home"!

We hadn't heard from him in over 2 weeks. I e-mailed, left voice mail last week then 2 this weekend. I tried to leave voice mail on her phone but her box was full. Now this is a girl who who speaks with her mom, who lives up north 4-5 times a day. Why the hell is her voice mail full?
After no call backs I'm picturing the worst but, not panicking.

Car in ditch that can't be seen from the road, their poor mangled bodies begging for their mommies and no one knows their there (for 2 weeks God bless 'em they are hanging on for us). They are victims of a home invasion and are duck taped to their chairs begging for their mommies and water and a pee break, (again for 2 weeks). Since he travels by airplane quite a bit there has been an awful plane crash, (that didn't make the news of course, for 2 weeks) and know one will tell me because they are worried I couldn't take it. He has been kidnapped and his girlfriend is desperately trying to get the money together to save him but she is afraid to tell anyone because of what the kidnappers said! (patient kidnappers, they have waited 2 weeks)
You know, a mother knows these things. I said something to husband, he will call his dad to ask or get an opinion since they both deal in financing.

"Have you heard from son"?
"No"
"Not at all for 2 weeks"!?
"No, honey that's what I said".
"Are you worried, have you tried to call him"?
"No and no I haven't tried to call him, why"?
"He could be hurt or dead".
"Somebody would have told us".
"Why"?
"Honey he will call, just leave him a message to call you that you're worried, he will call".
"Easy for you to say"! (T-totally PO'd that he is not seeing this as clearly as I am, a mother knows these things)

Call daughter
"You heard from your brother"?
"No, why"?
"I haven't either, I'm worried".
"So, just call him, I'm working in the yard I'll call you back".
(shes' going back to work in the yard!!!! That's her brother!!! OMG she's calling her dad to see if they should tell me the "bad news!)

10 minutes later the phone rings, my heart nearly jumps thru my chest...its' her, she talked to her dad and .....
"Ma, just call him and tell him to call by 5 or your having the sheriff's office do a well being check".
"No, that will upset him".
"I'm worried about you, just call him he will call you, bye ma".

He phoned home. He wasn't laying in a ditch crying out my name, not duct taped to a chair crying out my name, not in a plane crash and not kidnapped, just plain ass-hole to alligators busy trying to get ready to move and meet corporate deadlines. He laughed when I told him I was worried. "Come on mom, somebody would have called you if something happened, g-friend would be the first". Yeah I hear him...... a mother knows these things!
