Evening Ladies:

Welcome Jenn.

OK Survivor is just getting plane silly...what the heck was J.T. thinking.

Another question...who the heck is Jeff Hardy?...am I just too old, or from the wrong country...never heard of him.

Jenn, should I or do you wanna answer this?

Two words: EYE CANDY!!!

*ahem* Seriously though, Jeff Hardy is a wrestler with TNA (total nonstop action wrestling). He used to work WWE/WWF with his brother and by himself he does a move called the Swanton.

Man oh man he is smexy *gets goo goo eyes* Somebody pinch me!!

DH has family (the SIL who just had the twins) out in CO and he wants to go see them. It's been years. I figured while we are that far, we might has hit DL for a few days just to say we've been there.

And no, I would never plan a trip just to DL from here. That is just too much.

Jenn, night! Hope you stop back tomorrow.

Mary, we always bought gifts for the others when I would have a baby. We would also let them pick out their own little gift to give the baby. I always looked at as a celebration of our family and not just the new baby.

 

[MagiKitty]

JO...are you guys driving out to Colorado?!

I'm not planning a DL trip anytime soon. I do not like California (except for San Diego, but that hardly counts...). I actually am trying to figure out a way to go to Disney Hong Kong or Tokyo. I need to win the lotto first.

 

[JOCAmom]

Oh no! Right now, we are thinking of flying to CA and driving to CO and then flying home from there. I'm trying to plan it out with DH's ex stepmom. It's so strange to try to plan out a vacation with someone you've never really talked to and have only met once.

 

[MagiKitty]

that sounds so much more fun. What a beautiful drive that's going to be. And think how much more comfy you're going to be with her after al this planning!

 

[Pikester]

Have a good night ladies!

 

[JOCAmom]

Night Pikester!

I'm thinking the drive will be nice too. And it will be fun to plan. She's a very nice lady and is looking for those little brochures for us to see what we would like to do out there.

Has BF decided about Hershey?

 

[MagiKitty]

BF is not a definite, so I may have to look to my "bench". Edward from last year and Chris, or maybe my nephews. We'll have to see. It depends on how his grandma is doing.

 

[JOCAmom]

I think they all should come.

How is BF's grandma doing?

 

[MagiKitty]

thanks for asking about her....she's started a new pain med that has made a lot of difference. She's even be able to leave the house, which she hasn't been able to do for a while now. In terms of treatment, her doctor is willing to try a new regiment but its really a treatment of last resort. So really, we don't know but at least her quality of life has improved.

 

[JOCAmom]

That's wonderful about the pain meds and that she's been able to get out. And I'm glad her doctor is willing to try something new. I'll keep her in my prayers.

 

[MagiKitty]

Thank you so much...I really appreciate it. BF's Mom is in his life marginally. Not even birthdays and major holidays. She's going through a midlife crisis, I think. But they've never been close. That's why he's so close to his grandparents. They've always been there for him, even when no one else was.

I know its his mother, but at one point, she asked him to move out, even if he had nowhere else to go. He lived in his car for three months. I find it hard to be kind to her because of it. But since she's never around, its really not an issue. But thinking about him being homeless just breaks my heart. (this was years before we met)

 

[JOCAmom]

I don't even know him and that just breaks my heart too. I guess it was a pretty "get out" type thing. I could never do that except in extreme circumstances (drugs, violence, etc) But to just tell one of my kids to get out, I couldn't even imagine.

DS is moving out when he turns 18 next year. He's already informed us that he's going back his mom's. I am filled with totally mixed feelings about it, honestly. Things never have gotten better and his mom enables his behavior and totally undermines us. We need the break from the constant "drama" but I hate to think of what will become of him there. All I know is it's his decision but our door will be open.

 

[MagiKitty]

oh JO, that's such a tough situation. but it is for the best. You're respecting his decision as a young adult but also letting him know that his age doesn't exclude him from being family. That's really all you can do. You've loved him and you will continue to. I do wish that his other Mom realizes that she needs to help not hinder raising a young man.

BF says that his Mom really had a hard time being a teen mom and him having so many health issues. Its admirable that he still defends her. Its completely foreign to me--literally! My family tends to stick together for everything. She basically just told him to get out without warning. I don't understand it at all. But it has made him an honorable person and he's so good with money because of it. He never wants to go through something like that again.

 

[JOCAmom]

Yeah, it's tough. But it's also a long way off. Things might change; they might not. But that door will always be open if he wants something different. But it is his choice when he's 18.

My family isn't always close but when the chips are down, I couldn't ask for a better family. We have our problems but I know any of them would have my back. I imagine being a teen mom would be immensely hard but it was her choice. And when you make that choice, it's a choice for life IMO.

 

[MagiKitty]

I totally agree and it wasn't like BF chose to have a disability. I don't know, some people are just wacky.

I'm watching the coverage about Haleigh Cummings, the little girl gone missing in Florida last year. Apparently the daddy's GF is pleaing out. Its so sad. There are such monsters out there.

Kiss your little ones for me. They are so precious. I guess blow kisses at DS when he's not looking. I was so impressed with all your children.

 

[JOCAmom]

Thanks MK. We try our best and hope for the best. Though if I tell DS the kiss if from you, he might not be so disagreeable.

I've been trying to follow that case. So sad. That one along with the other one from FL where her mom killed her little girl.....Caylee Anthony. If they are all found guilty, I hope the rot in hell.

Hello All,

Been AWAL for a while. When we're not at work or school we are enjoying this fantastic weather here - 80s during the day and 70s at night. We've been spending every min outside. I am so psyched to get into my garden. However I can't plant much yet cuz it will still get cold and frosty. And we've had snow here as late as May 10th.

DS7 has his birthday and First Communion coming up next week. So we've been trying to get the house in order and get stuffed planned. No big party, just some family. I can't believe my baby is going to be 8.

JOCA - on your son and his decision to leave. Its great that you're keeping the door open cuz I know he will come to realize (some day) that your home is where he belongs.

Welcome to the newbie - Jen!

We're anxiously planning our WDW trip this summer and hoping to do some camping close to home too. Just found out my BIL and SIL won't be coming up in June afterall. So bummed.

DL55 - Have a great trip!!!

Kitty - that's such a heartbreaking story about your BF and his family. Poor guy! Tell him we'd be happy to have him join OUR family here!!!

 

[JOCAmom]

Good morning! The clouds are moving in and it looks like we might get rain today. Hopefully it holds off till later because DD6 is on a field trip to a nature center today. All she has talked about all week is going hiking with her friends.

D&D, it's been kinda nice here but not that nice. I wish it would get warmer.....like in the 90's warmer. I so can't wait for the heat of FL in August.

 

[D&DDisney]

Good Morning,

Just had to share something. I was going through my DS12's homework this morning and found some sentences that he had to write using his spelling words. In one of the sentences he had to use the words forever and because. I got to one that made me cry. It said...

I write sentence becuse I now my mom will luv me forever.


Now to give you a little background on my DS12, he has a language processing disorder which makes it very hard for him to speak in age appropriate language, or express himself in written or oral form. Writing his thoughts on paper can sometimes be a nightmare. He is also the son that has RAD. He's told me he loves me a million times but it is always superficial and usually has some sort of "edge" to it. He has always been stand-offish and not very close to me or anyone else.
To see him express that he knows I will love him forever is HUGE!!!! This is going up on the fridge to remind me on the days when I don't think I will ever get through to him.

And to think this is the same boy who got in trouble for flipping off the teacher a day earlier.
