Don't just just love it when a conversation turns unexpectedly to a Disney conversation?
Well that happened today!
Skips brother, the one I had said worked for him ,but wasn't all that great and was going to quit (not the partener in the farm brother). Well he quit awhile back and has been going from job to job. Basically he can't keep up with any of these jobs and has been let go.
MIL has been bugging Skip to hire him back, but "Sam" (made up name for BIL) has never said he wants to come back. To make a really long story short, MIL told me the other night that she knew he was going to lose his latest job from what she was hearing from him, and she was mad at Skip for not taking him back (again, Sam hasn't asked to come back), and now it's her problem to take care of him...which is alot of his problem in life...he's alway had someone taking care of him.
Skipping over the stupid family drama, MIL told Skip that Sam did indeed get let go last night.
Skip said that he and Dave talked it over and had MIL call Sam up and told him to stop over. Not sure if he will or not. (when he left he said he was going to Dance on Skips grave when he died
)
Skip told me about his plans for hiring him back at lunch today. I wasn't too happy. I reminded him about the pain in the butt he is, etc. But Skip was happy with his new plan and told me I should be too, because that would make my chances of going on "that vacation" I want to go on 10% greater! Wait!...What? ..... What did you say? I quickly came back with, so up 10% from what? 90%? LOL!
So I quickly started with more Disney talk. I reminded him how Claire and I really want to go for her b-day. I also told him that there were good sales going on, but a decison would have to be made by mid Oct.....his reply to that.....I don't care about sales....I like paying full price! LOL!
I then told him how if he was still hurting he could spend as much time as he wanted in the room or where ever, and we would do whatever to be sure he wasn't in pain. His response..."Why don't you just tie me to a pull, that way I won't be in the way"...I told you he can be a baby. Of course we did laugh about it some, and I did say if he needed a wheelchair I would push him or do whatever needed......and thats when the man mind came into play....he told me I can up the chances more by getting more "activity out of that room"...as he pointed to the bedroom...and then he had the nerve to say I had to actually look like I was enjoying it too!
Boy, he wants the world on a platter. 
He said he would either have to take us if I fulfilled my promise, or he would make me so sick of him and discourage me so much that I would give up the trip.
So, I must say I was in good spirits today. At least we kind of broke the silenece about the trip that has been going on lately. He knows we want to go, and we hint all the time, but I haven't said it directly too him lately with all his pain issues.

So much for the diet coke I was drinking...half of it went on the computer screen!
