Sorry about the rude customer. I worked in customer service for years in my twenties while I was going to school. I always ended up with the problem customers cause I was usually the only MOD. It SUCKED!!!! I think that everyone should have to do some sort of customer/food service in their lives so maybe they would think about the big picture before they go crazy on people just trying to do their jobs!!! Now I work at a hospital and though people can still be rude, it is usually because they are SICK, so it's easier to give them a pass!!! (plus we sedate them.....so it's usually short lived!! ) Anyhow, rant over. Thanks
I completely understand whirlwind stops on a longer trip - my husband and I had one of those during an Easter weekend when we drove from college (approximately 5 hours south of Chicago), saw a matinee performance of Wicked, went to his Mom's to stay the night, went to his Grandma's about 2 hours north in Wisconsin for Easter brunch, then drove from his Grandma's to my parents, which was another 5 hour drive in time for dinner, then had an hour and a half drive back to school.
And even if your schedule allowed for more time to visit more people in each place I'm not certain if my schedule would allow it - my oldest has spring break the week after your girls.
And since I've only been actively participating on the DIS for about 6 months I wouldn't want to butt in to plans with longtime friends.

The alternator went in my car this week- all the lights were flashing and then the whole thing just shut down. Lots of fun, but all better now!
Safe travels!

And I'm only about 3 hours away...... This could turn into something epic if it happen.s
D~ Have a wonderful weekend with your Dad!
Need to know when your coming!!! need a clean house AND time off of work!
Glad the road trip is a go! I love a good road trip, DH is not quite so fond of them, and we haven't pushed the girls past the 2.5 hours to Orlando yet - they are difficult enough on the short trip.
Charlotte and I slept in the spare bedroom again last night. I got her down slightly earlier and she slept through the night again. She was funny this morning - she asked for a bottle and I said "What? We don't have those anymore." She said, "We gave the to the babies!" She's getting it I just need to find a way to get her down at night that will result in us sleeping in our own beds.
Enjoy your time with your dad! Hope you have a productive day and a safe trip.
have a great time with your Dad this weekend! We are leaving early in the am tomorrow. I will post periodically on FB and I am taking my Kindle, so I should be able to post here too.
Made my ADRs today!
The road trip sounds like fun.
Great news that your doctor appointment went so well and that your blood work is normal.
I can't wait to hear how V's blood work went.
The customer with the laptop at Target sounds like a pain in the ***.
And we will - it should be a fun trip. Trust me - after 17 hours + in the car with him each way... We will have pleanty of time to reconnect (read: annoy each other).
This just cracked me up!!!
I hope you had a safe trip to your Dad's and that your visit is wonderful.
Have fun with your dad!!
Good Weekend Everyone

aaaaaw, I love a road trip!!!! Greg flips cars for a living so we routinely have to go pick up a car, well, he does anyways...I tag along when I can!!
I LOVE that so many people have shown your dad some love!!! I'm gonna send you a pm for his address. The girls love a reason to use my scrapbooking supplies. Birthday card, here we come!!!
LOL!
I worked in customer service way too long! Even when I was middle management in an insurance company, I was the one they sent irate customers to... I think it helped that I had 3 teenagers at the time....I knew how to deal with childish behavior and not let it bother me... My mother worked in Food Service her whole life and I started there at 15 washing dishes...I learned from her to try and figure out why they were being jerks...and then to find a way to show them just how jerky they were... my mom could get the most irate person to apologize to her...still not sure how she did it!
But I like your solution better....sedate them!
I concur that everyone should do at least one season in customer service. Might make people at least thank their server/cashier/etc, which is an amazing thing.
I'll PM you to send something to your Dad, D. My mom's B'day is the 23rd and she's going to be 80!
