Before I get into Disneyland, I just have to say please do not assume too much about people and what they are writing in their blogs. Just reminds me once in another blog I posted about a fight with dh, and there were many whisperings and rumors of divorce among our friends/family. LOL. My mom finally told me and I Was like - what??? I just posted about 1 stupid fight on my blog. Come on! One fight does not a divorce make... One rant or financial decision posted on a blog - don't think you have me all figured out - LOL. I feel like I Can defend myself all day, but I have better things to do. I am sure we have felt the same, in real life, or in our blog comments. We have all felt misunderstood. Just stop and think sometimes before you comment. Come sit in my shoes for a day and then we can talk. ; )

I think it is that last preschool comment that bugged me. But there is no way I Can get across how beneficial this has been to my family, and I guess I don't have to get it across. My life, my decision. & then I was thinking back to BA's comments about my hubby. I think he has him read really wrong. IT didn't really bother me at the time, because I know my dh has electronic issues - LOL. But all the same you have no idea what you are talking about. Buying a $1500 camera when we had no kids, and a six figure income, and saved 30% of our income. Eh. Does not a wild spender make.

I feel like I am making progress, just bugs me I guess when people are nitpicking on things that I am unwilling to compromise on. I own my decisions and I will work it out. Now give me some praise for my progress dammit. ; ) I really feel confident that we will be doing very well next year. We are making a lot of progress. One step at a time...

End of rant.

Disneyland Story:

I just wanted to say it was funny because I do not know how many people have asked about our Disneyland trip this weekend and said, "How long are you going? What? Just ONE day????" I am trying to think back and I only ever remember going one day. In fact, I thought we were splurging, because with the toddler we figure we better stay 2 nights. Drive up, sleep, 1 day at DL, sleep, and all day Sunday to drive home. IT's about all we can squeeze in. & then the whole, with gas so insane, "Isn't it cheaper to fly????" I budgeted $60 for gas and that will do. Get me 3 airline tickets for $60 and you got me sold, I live down the street from the airport - LOL. & I think 1 day in DL is about all my son can handle. I know he will be EXHAUSTED. Even flying is such an ordeal I don't think it would save much time. We could fly down Friday afternoon, sleep, go to DL one day, and fly back Sunday. Doesn't really lend to more time at DL.

Granted, in all my one day trips to DL, we have never been to CA Adventure, or Legoland, or any of the new parks. Maybe sometime down the road - in years - we'll make a week of it with the kids. For now 1 day at DL is more than enough to entertain the 3 of us. & yeah I think we are going more for us than the kid - LOL. Baby gets to stay home with grandma. Phew...
