I have just felt two steps behind at both home & school ever since the cruise, and it just seems to be getting worse! Actually, I think I am finally on the downhill....
Friends are seriously looking at WDW this Oct., but I did some major budgeting this weekend, and have made some drastic travel changes. NO trip to KC for my bday, but the weekend before is a partyfest! I took Fri. Mar. 17 off to watch NCAA tourney action, and then realized it is also St. Patty's Day! Our fav band is playing Fri/Sat night, and Dan's school is having a faculty trip to the boats in Council Bluffs (casinos!) So Mom has agreed to take the kids for the weekend, and Dan & I are gonna PARTY--basketball, gambling, dancing...maybe a couple of cocktails...actually, it could be BRUTAL! Then the group will go out ON my bday. I am a bit nervous, as 40th bdays have been VERY creative w/ this group. (TPing, decorating lawns, rearranging houses, etc.)
Cannot afford KC this month...w/ ER bills, car taxes, April taxes....
But looks like Vegas in June. I think I can save up by June! And I am thinking of nixing the cruise in Oct. $2K for cruise or $3K for WDW, plus spending...REALLY wanna go, but not this year. I did buy the Passporter...and am thrilled to find that our family of 5 can stay at Dixie Landing/Port Orleans in the Alligator Bayou? rooms for $155/night in regular season (Moderate). The family of 5 thing made things tough! But I think that is better than 2 rooms at the value resorts...at $200 total. Plus will check w/
AAA for discounts. But not until Oct. 2007 or Jan. 2008...or possibly even a year later.
Plus w/ our schedule and airfare availability, we could only be at parks 5 days in Oct., and I really want at least 7....SO we wait....
Well, kids have returned from lunch, so need to wrap up....
Hope you are all doing well...
Happy Bday, Wilson!
