Yes, of course, that’s why I have a freakin’ blog. Nice title duckass.
*ahem* sorry ’bout that.
I’m actually doing this mostly to see if my crossposting works, but also I have to vomit my thoughts about our next trip.
My parents own a condo in San José del Cabo in Mexico, a beautiful apartment a short block from the ocean. With this serious perk to being their only daughter, I get free room and board and because they adore my kids, they pay for their flights to go down. How can we possibly say no to that?
I have a cheap husband, that’s how. He is the thriftiest person, next to his mom, and micro-manages money right down to the penny. He knows we have awesome access to cheap vacations, but still manages to put off actually paying for it.
Then he comes home with a whopper and screws up my whole ideal of him. Bugger.
Yesterday he walks in the door with a shit-eating grin spread across his face. He then asks what I would think about hitting Disneyland on the way to Mexico next spring. After I picked my jaw up off of the floor, I jumped on it of course.
I’m the kind of laid back, relaxed person when it comes to money. It is just money and I wasn’t put on earth to make sure future generations of mine have a ton of it. I’m spending it while I’m here. So I was laughing inside at him when he was crunching the numbers with me, because I don’t care about money enough to crunch numbers. It’s true I’m desperate to gain some in order to buy land in my vicinity, but not -I’m-going-to-prostitute-my-way-to-richness desperate.
So it seems we’re likely headed to Disneyland next February. Of course that has put a fire under my ass to get Buddy’s passport going. Ever tried to get a passport for a 2 y/o? Yeah, not an easy chore my friend. And then there’s the packing for 3 weeks for 3 kids thing that I’m not looking forward to.
Disneyland, here I come?
