Cranberry or Pineapple??

Hey, who is supposed to get Cosmos next? I lost track.

Cristi,I lost track, too. I use to keep it on the first page of the old thread. If no one has a planned vacation soon maybe Cosmo could go to Alex until a funky monkey vacation. I know he loves him and maybe it could bring him a little cheer with what he is going through with his mom.

This is copied from the first page of the old thread. Maybe Heidi can copy it into her first post on this thread.

Cosmo's itinerary:

Disney Magic: December 14, 2007(Cristi)
October 19 Stephanie and Family Cancun (wedding?)
Dec 29 Selena & Jeff's NYE-cruise on the Fantasy w/ Barbara & Leonard
November 2, 2008 Jeff and Selena Pride Peeps Group Cruise on the Pride-Mexican Rivera
April 24, 2009 Jeff and Selena surprise MacKenzie with her Sweet 16 Birthday cruise

Okay so far from what I know Cosmo's current itinerary is:

Cosmo's itinerary:

August 14th - September 1st, 2008 Heidi and Chris Honeymoon
November 2, 2008 Jeff and Selena Pride Peeps Group Cruise on the Pride-Mexican Rivera
April 24, 2009 Jeff and Selena surprise MacKenzie with her Sweet 16 Birthday cruise

I like the idea of letting Alex watch him for the time no one is doing anything, it may give him a little more comfort, Cosmo is great at that

Jrsy - I would love the see pictures of Alex, I bet he was one cool looking dude. I am glad Tammy got to see it front row, but I am sure it is totally different than seeing it live. Post some picture of Alex or send us an email with the pictures!!!

Selena - Prayers said for Jeff's job. What a scary job market it is today.

Cristi - I hope Brad is feeling better. My boss was diagnosed with pneumonia last weekend.

Stayed home again today but am feeling better, just tired and weak. Chris is picking the girls up now and we are going to have "girl time" with them, my mom, my sister and niece, and me and try on dresses for the wedding tomorrow morning. They are so excited for girl time!!!

Chris called the girls yesterday morning because the girls called and left a message wanting to have chick-n-mini's from Chick-fil-a this weekend and Jen (his ex wife) was crying. I guess Emily has been fighting with her horrible and back talking and being mouthy and doing bad in school. She is not turning in her homework so Chris is going to talk to Emily this weekend alone and she gets to be on restriction this weekend. Should be an interesting weekend!

Chris just called and said Emily called him and lost her tooth today. She asked him if it was true that you get .25 for regular teeth and $1.00 for molars from the tooth fairy. I guess I better go get a dollar bill to slip under her pillow tonight!

Rachel came home from school sick today. She has a fever, her throat hurts and her head hurts. Poor kid....

So, Jrsy, you up for Cosmo at your house? I think it is a great idea to send him your way.

Tammy's mom took pictures during the performance, so I will have to wait to get copies from her. I don't remember if Tammy took pictures with the digital or the disposable before we left last night. If they are on the digital, I will try to get them up this weekend.

Alex gets $2 but I always kid him that the tooth fairy is expecting $1.99 in change. On time I even wrote a note, but made it obvious that it was from me, that said to leave $1.99 in change under his pillow the following night and signed it "The Tooth Fairy."

So, Jrsy, you up for Cosmo at your house? I think it is a great idea to send him your way.

I'll check with Alex and let you know. You'll just have to make sure that he and all of his belongings are germ free or he won't be allowed in the house.

 

[cristit14]

His box with him sitting on top of it have been up in my bedroom since basically just after Christmas. I could lysol everything. Do you think that would work?

 

[Jsme]

You laugh but Tammy's friend's parents did exactly that. They called from in front of the house and asked her to send out her husband, who wasn't sick, to pick up all of the food they'd made for them.

Actually I was not laughing. Way back when, before kids, Jeff and I both had the flu and his mom brought us stuff but would ring the door bell and leave it on our front steps.

Hey that is just my vacations. I do not think that is the list.

 

[Jsme]

I woke up with a weird dream and could not go back to sleep. I am going to go in to wake up Jeff, I left him sleeping, to go to the grocery store. I want it over with!

I want to see pictures too.

As for Cosmo I would love to have him for the Pride Cruise and for Mac's birthday. However, her birthday cruise is no longer a surprise. With all of the switching of ships, she caught wind of it and wound up picking her own room!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Selena, I don't think it would be a problem to get Cosmo to you for the Pride and Mac's birthday. Cosmo will have some fun!

Had a fun filled day with Heidi. Got the Jr bridesmaid dresses and the Flower girl dress ordered. Did some shopping, had some lunch. By the way Heidi, thanks for lunch!!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Here are some pictures of our "girl day" We ordered the dresses in pink. The girls loved the dresses and begged to keep them on.

First up...Joey:

Second up....Amanda:

Last, but not least....Emily:

All 3 girls:

 

[ImMarcik]

Joey looks precious and the girls look beautiful. I don't remember what the other bridesmaid dresses look like at the moment.

 

[Jsme]

Heidi those are great pcitures. The girls look wonderful. I bet they felt like princesses. It looks like you guys had a good time.

Emily, Amanda and Joey are all beautiful girls. I can see Chris in the girls.

I have not asked lately but how is your nephew doing?

 

[Jsme]

MacKenzie and I are going to the movies in a little while. I thought about taking her to the Grand but now I think we are just going to go to the $2.50 movies. I balanced my checkbook and it was not as nice and plump as I like. lol

I have to say MacKenzie has really been trying to do better. She is not as hateful as she was being. She is learning to control her mouth. I gave her back her cell phone Friday and she had it taken back from her in an hour. lol She talked back to me so I took it away. She knows she has it on a daily basis and I will not hestiate to take it away. However, I noticed with taking her to the movies last weekend, taking her to have her hair done and to dinner really has helped her a lot. I am trying hard to spend quality time with her.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday!!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

We ended up taking the girls to see Chronicles of Spiderwick last night, ya we left not even half way through!! The girls were terrified in the movie so we left.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Selena, it's good that Mac knows that you will be consistant with the cell phone. It is so hard for that age. I know that quality time is so important. You are a good mom! Little Tyler is doing soooo good. It has been a few weeks now since his last seizure.

Ted and I spent the day shopping for new carpet for the "other" house. Not in a big hurry to put it on the market with the way it is in today's world. But tired of the snow shoveling!!

 

[Jsme]

I gave Mac the choice of Sweeney Todd and Enchanted. We went to see ST. EEkk, I knew what Sweeney Todd was about, BUT dang I was surprised at how graphic it was being a Musical. I think I thought they would gloss over the murders. Did I say I am not a fan of blood?

We did have a good time.

Thank you Sandy. I feel like a complete failure as a mom most days. My children are good kids but it is so hard trying to teach them to quit fighting with each other, to be nice and not talk back!!!

 

[ImMarcik]

Selena, I think most good parents feel like a failure at times. We all want to be the best for our children. You know what, I think the normal feelings of feeling like a failure helps us to be better parents, like keeping us in check with ourselves.

Aerial has told me a lot lately that I am a much better Mother now then I was the last few years of my marriage. I do know that I was in a very bad situation, I was miserable and didn't know what to do. But, if I think about it long enough, I feel very guilty for Aerial. All I know how to do now is try to be the best I can, keep communication open and go on.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

I actually made it to work today!!! Only to find out I have training from 8:30-11:30 today, guess I won't get anything done today.

Thanks Marcie. I know I am not a terrible parent(although I do feel like it a lot) but I always feel so incrediblity guilty when I have to yell or discipline them.

I really hate having to discipline my children and you know what? Jeff does not help me any. lol I took Erik's XBox play away from him for today due to his negative behavior last night. I mean he was down right nasty at times last night. Today Jeff was begging me to allow Erik to play the Xbox with him. I could not believe he actually asked this in front of Erik. Erik was being all sweet and pouty. Of course I did not allow him the Xbox. The whole reason I took the XBox away from him was to teach him a lesson. Now tell me if I had given in to him today would he have learned anything? He would have learned he can be as nasty and negative as he wants then get punished and then just beg the next day for his priviledges back. So once again I am the mean parent.

I just cannot imagine not punishing my children when they do wrong. I want them to be good adults.

Thanks guys you really do make me feel much better!
