Well, DWifey just informed me that she booked another Christmas cruise for us next year...!!!!!!!

Now that is some good news! Will it just be the two of you or the whole family? Either way it will be a fun time for you.

I have bad news, my cold has gotten worse and I couldn't make any Christmas Cutout cookies as a result.

Yuck, colds are the poops. Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry.

We had about 40 degrees today. And most of our white stuff is gone.

There’s a lot of spelling mistakes.. but here’s T’s assignment from earlier. He’s been on near perfect behavior since. Even volunteered to help with the dishes. I think he does realize how wrong he was. I just hope it really sunk in.

Good questions you posed for him and he wrote good answers. Keep it and if he acts up again he can read it as he sits on the sidelines.

Good for you. So much better to have him write an essay about his behavior instead of just grounding him.

I will! Hopefully will never have to do it though!

Thanks. I’ve been doing a version of this since he was 2 or 3.. but back then it was a time out chair, and he had to tell me why his behavior was wrong before he got up, now it’s writing.
I’ve always wanted him to truly think and understand what is wrong, and then maybe lessen the chance of it happening again, because he won’t want to do it again.. not because of impending punishment, but because of wanting to act right, not wrong. If that makes sense.
Today is the first time in his life that I’ve been completely disappointed and embarrassed by his actions. I’m hoping it was just a blip. He’s not a mean kid at all, which makes it that much more disappointing.

I'd love to see Fantasmic get the DL treatment. Still love the show, the music, and the story, but it could use some updates.

Spoiler: Don't hate me

Maybe a Frozen sequence on the mountain.

Yes

He's human. Not perfect. Wish I had a nickel for every stupid thing I've done in my life. What's important here is that he'll learn from his mistake, just the same as the rest of us. I don't think that you have anything to worry about with him at all. You've got a really good kid there.

I wouldn't have wished yesterday's weather on anybody, ok maybe one or 2 people but nobody here, ok maybe one somebody Even with all the salting the road in front of my house still looks iffy. We made it through with power going off for only a minute or 2 several times before heading off to bed so of course once I was asleep it went off and the heat with it nothing is as much fun as getting up resetting the heat, putting on several more layers and having to remove them over the span of a few hours. Not that it was all bad, I got a couple of days of cooking done, watched a few movies and put a dent in Mount Laundry I'll have time for a nap this morning and this afternoon with the guys
