What am I to do ?

$100,000.00 = First I will pay all my debts, from mortgage to school loan.

$ 50,000.00 = To get a decent vehicle that would last for a good period of time.

$100,000.00 = To pay my dsis mortgage with her condo and pay her tuition for her upcoming nursing program so she can work full time.

$100,000.00 = for my mom and she can do whatever she wants (disclaimer: it has to be something for her, she tend to give away her retirement money to family which basically just uses her.)

$100,000.00 = and of course for dad.

$100,000.00 = for my cousin, mom of my 2 fave nephew

$300,000.00 = for 3 different cd and only use the interest.

$100,000.00 = saved for WDW finances

$50,000.00 = for mcdonald house.

WHat is this Atlanta Traffic all the drivers talk about?? Is it that bad and when should i avoid it? and how long from chicago-area is Atlanta? thanks!

You know...we have never had a problem with Atlanta Traffic. Maybe it's just us. We hop in the HOV lanes and just go. I have never thought it was as bad as Chicago traffic, so I'm always baffled. Maybe we just time it right, we don't intentionally time it that way.

DH was doing Richard Petty driving at the Atlanta Speedway, we stopped at the Puppet Museum on the way, so I know we were down there during a weekday at one time and we still didn't find it horrible.

We stopped North of Atlanta though last year on our way down since we just physically can not pull an allnighter for driving...did that from the Atlanta Motor Speedway and words uttered "Never Again" as soon as we pulled in the drive (considering both DH & I were basically asleep at the wheel, I tried helping out but I wasn't any better than him at that point).

I just know we left at about 3 AM or maybe 4 by the time we got everything done and I think it was around 11 pm or so getting to our hotel in Marietta. I don't remember the exact time but I know we hadn't had dinner & was hoping a pizza place was still open so it was late. (I can't remember if the time change had already taken place or not though. I always get that messed up when traveling.) Of course, we could be slow drivers...we did stop at McDonald's for breakfast around 8 AM and then a picnic lunch & pit stops with 4 kids is not a quick event.

Bunchkin I sure hope Lauren is ok! Life is not treating her very well lately. Oh by the by any time your DH needs more grass to mow send him over.

Good luck with your spy camera your kind of like Secret squirrel and Morroco mole I loved that show too. No if we can figure out how to bring up Dark Shadows my childhood would be complete.

Our family has NOT had the best of luck these past few months have we??

Luckily you have a small yard!! Our yard is huge and the back is a hill!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

BUNCHYYY!!!!!! we just got home! i got your call and we have not floated away!! just went out to do some errands! i don't know what too late is when school is in session so i decded to check out if you were online!

 

[Bunchkin]

Yikes! Well now that weekend is here, hope she gets alot of recoup time ! Lots of mommy kisses and daddy hugs ! Hope all is well with you and the rest of your family! Watch out for flat tire

Thanks for the concern!!

I knew the first week of school couldn't go by without Lauren visiting the new school nurse!! She should just put us on speed dial!!
