You will only have two games to watch on Sunday though. The Broncos are playing Monday night.

Yeah, I realized that last night when my FIL called to offer me his tickets. Don't know why I thought it was Sunday night...

So are you going to the game Mon night?

So are you going to the game Mon night?

No.
Aside from Tammy having a meeting at Alex's school on Monday night, I actually prefer watching the game from the comfort of my living room. Monday night games are tough when you have to work the next morning. If the Giants were going to be there, however...

I did go to the Giants/Broncos game on Monday night, the first game played at Invesco Field. My favorite Broncos player, Ed McCaffrey, got his leg broken that night, the Giants lost, the next morning terrorists crashed a bunch of airliners and the day after that, the company I was working for showed me the door. Not good memories...

 

[cristit14]

Yeah, I prefer watching at home too. I heard it is supposed to snow tomorrow. That would be good for Mon night football, huh.

I just got back from Race for the Cure. Boy am I tired. There were SO many people down there. My hips are hurting. I really need to work out more.

Wow, snow already? It's 82 degrees here but it's been in the 60s in the morning and I have been cold. I have my long sleeve tshirt on today I bought in St. Thomas. It won't be long and it will be time for me to break out the hot chocolate.

Time to share...

Friday night I was about to go to bed and I got an IM from one of my Mom's friends. She told me that my cousin was at her house and had been wanting to talk to me. Well it's been over a year now since I've seen or talked to my Mom. My cousin told me that they are going on a cruise together next Sunday in Galveston and were passing right though here. She wanted us to meet them for breakfast and I agreed. The bad thing is it's the same day we are having our sushi lunch with Aerial's friends for her birthday, so I doubt we will be eating breakfast but we are going meet them. She told me that she is not telling my Mom and she thought maybe it was a way for us to mend fences. I told her it might make my Mom mad but maybe since she is going on her first cruise she will be excited. I KNOW she will be excited to see Aerial but not sure about me. My Mother is very critical towards me and while she was mad at me she told Aerial how she hopes she doesn't turn out like me. I was so shocked! BTW I'm not a bad person, okay maybe a little stubborn. Anyway, I didn't appreciate her talking about me to my own daughter and other family members so this is why the rift between us. BUT with that all being said I am happy for her to be going on a cruise and I am really excited to see her. I did not go into any details in the least on my problems with my Mom to my cousin, I am sure my MOm has said enough on the issue. While I was talking to my cousin my Mom got online and my cousin asked me if I had to go. Which I thought was pretty weird but I just told her I was not avoiding my Mom and I would not refuse to talk to her if she called me or imd me (she hasn't in a year), I just couldn't take any anger and negative things at this time. I am going through enough right now as it is (I did NOT tell her that part). Anyway, as long as my Mother will be nice I will stay at breakfast, and I AM excited to see her. My cousin told me it must be hard for me and I told her she just didn't know, losing one parent to death and not speaking to the other, not to mention my brother does not talk to anyone in the family and I have no other family here where I live. So, maybe we will make up. Wish me luck, I will keep you up to date.

Marcie I knew you had not spoke to your mom in a while now but I did not realizd she has said things in front of Ariel. I know how hard this is to deal with. My mom told my children in the spring that Jeff is an alcoholic and he is making me into one. My son was very upset. I kept this in for several months then on day she started in with Erik. My mom is the type who has favorites and my daughter is her favorite. Mac is the one who was in trouble that day and my mom laid out my son for Mac's behavior. I had to tell her to leave and not come back. It was a very ugly scene and situtaion. I have spoke to her but I am having to use tough love with her. I can no longer sit back and allow her to say mean and hateful things to my children. Since the spring my life has been so much nicer. I know this may seem mean of me but I just could no longer stand her putting me, Jeff or Erik down. She has many times told my kids in front of me what a mean and awful person I am. I had enough of her and she is no longer allowed to be alone with my children. I have only allowed her to come down to my house a few times and only then because my brother was home in September.

I do hope it works out for you and your mother.

My cruise is fast approaching and I am so mixed on how to feel. I know we are going to have an awesome time. We do have a wonderful group of people who we will be around but then there are those people who have been mean and ugly to me. I do not know how to handle this. I do not care about them and I have no intentions of being around them but ... they have so ruined some of my precruise.

 

[cristit14]

Marcie and Selena, I am so sorry for your troubles with your Moms.
I feel very lucky to have such a great Mom. We really are good friends.


PS.Did you see my new tag?

 

[ImMarcik]

Awesome tags Cristi!!!!

 

[Jrsy Boy]

I just got back from Race for the Cure. Boy am I tired. There were SO many people down there.

Tammy was one of them, not that you'd have recognized her even if you had seen her, since you have never met.

Did you get your new tag from the thread you posted for us to read? Why did your old tag get added to?

 

[cristit14]

Yes, I got the new one from that thread. The add on came from a different thread. The thread was why do people beg for a tag. I just piped in to say that it was a nice surprise. I should have stopped at that because then I went on to say that I liked the color of my tag, but Dorky Wafflebrains was getting old. I swear within about 15 minutes of that post I had the "older" added to the tag. The new tag came later that same day. She was really busy on the community board that day.

Hi guys, I had the day off yesterday so I am back posting today.

Guess what.....Chris and I bought a new computer this weekend!!! (no, it's not the same one as my parent's computer!!!!) We get high speed internet this Thursday. Once I get everything figured out, I can scan pictures and finish my trip report!!!

Cristi - love your new tag...lol Race for the Cure was packed. I wanted to go, we were planning a team at work to go but the only people replied they wanted to go where 2 other ladies....they hate me because I didn't refer them to the selecting official for one of the jobs they applied to. What they don't realize is that it wasn't me that was the deciding factor, but how low they scored. We have certain rules we have to follow and you can't be referred if you score below a 90.....they BOTH scored below 80 and they know there scores......so I didn't want to deal with that.

Marcie - I hope your mom is good to you when you meet up. That is very Big of you to meet them for breakfast. You are a better person than me because I don't think I would be that nice if that happened to me.

Selena - I'm sorry about your cruise. I just got very disappointed about my next cruise that we booked. I was looking at the cruise meet thread for that cruise and noticed the guy that stalked me on the ship 2 years ago will be on there as well, he just booked. The stalker almost ruined my relationship with Chris and the ship is not that big. I may cancel now even though my parent's and sister and her family are going. I just don't want to deal with it.

My mom's computer is still being fixed. It was fixed and they were supose to pick it up this weekend and then yesterday...but something was wrong and now they are sending it back to headquarters AGAIN to be fixed.

 

[cristit14]

Tammy was one of them, not that you'd have recognized her even if you had seen her, since you have never met.

Maybe I saw her...... was she wearing pink?

 

[cristit14]

Heidi, Congrats on the new computer! (sorry about your mom's). We had 6 of us from work on a team. I think we actually had 9 sign up to go to the race and then another 3 or 4 do the sleep in for the cure. It was a lot of fun. I will do it again next year as long as I am not working. I am sore though. I really need to get back in shape and stop eating cake.

That's too bad about stalker guy. Do you think he knows you are going on that one or is it just a coincidence? He hasn't still been bothering you has he?

 

[ImMarcik]

The pumpkin smilies are just showing as x's to me so i can't copy and paste yet in my signature. Maybe it will work at home.

Congrats on the computer Heidi!!! Can't wait to read more of your trip report.

Keep trying, Marcie, it has taken some other people a few tries to get it to work. I went ahead and put the bouncing mickey in my photobucket album and re-linked to that if you want to try using my link instead of the one I sent you. Or copy the image to your own photobucket album and try linking from there.

Hi guys,

I just have to give a little hug to Marcie and Selena. I am sorry about the rifts in the family. I was very fortunate to have a perfect mom and that is why losing her last October was hard. My dad was very difficult and caused a lot of problems. I have three other brothers and sisters. My dad's death divided us. My brother and I are very close. VERY close. My other sisters come and go in my life. I hope you all can find ways to mend.

Selena, I can understand your feeling about your next cruise. As you well know, I had the cruise with a group of people that weren't very nice to us. That is where Heidi's stalker came from. I remember that they spoiled our precruise excitement but once onboard it was ok. We just laughed at them from a distance. I pray everything will work out that way for you. Don't pay them any attention. Don't let them know they "have" you!! I haven't forgotten to send Cosmo.

Heidi, I hope with your new computer that you can post some cute pics of Cosmo for everyone.

Heidi just got some bad news. She won't be able to access the boards at work. Now she will have to wait until she gets home. BIG adjustment for her that is for sure.

I keep waiting for that day when they block the boards here. I usually worry on days when I know I am spending too much time here.
