Well my boss let me have the vacation time, so I don't have to use my family leave, which means I'll have that for winter when I'm sure kiddo will be sick. And also means I now don't go back to work until Monday, phew! Kiddo is at school today, I called to find out who his teacher will be, and he was happy. I'm not sure all his friends will be in his class but his best frenemy will not be in his class. This is a little boy who we have had issues with from day 1, they love each other but are just so bad when they are together. So it's good. But hopefully he'll have a friend or two in his class! Of course now he missed the first day so he will have whatever desk is left, and cubby, and all that stuff. Oh well... he'll survive and hopefully tell me all about it when he gets home.
Man do I ever want to plan a trip. But I am waiting for a new contract at work which will come with about 3 years of back pay, and a raise. Then I have to decide, be responsible and pay stuff off or go on a trip, cruise or Disney. I know what I should do... but what do I want lol. Considering it will come with a chunk of money that could be the down payment on a house as well, I should pay stuff off so I can buy a house. But oh my do I want a trip! Any way.
I get the tight finances for sure. I have to plan down to the penny what I'm spending, and it sucks. I know this time last year I was worrying about my trip, ended up cancelling my
Disney cruise and going Carnival instead (it was about 1/3 the price!) and it was pretty awesome any way. We did spend two nights at Disney before the cruise and that was pretty amazing, now we can't wait to go again, Disney and more cruises. I'd love to do a Disney cruise, but having started with Carnival and knowing it was pretty nice (we really enjoyed the ports, and he loved the kids club, it was smaller than I imagine Disney's and relatively quiet so he got a lot of attention from the workers), I am not sure I can justify the cost. Any way! I hope you are able to keep your trip and that things look up for you soon.
