Yeah, we have had some unexpected expenses too in the past couple months and I am a little nervous about them. I planned to have all paid and done with BEFORE our trip and it is looking like it won't be. We are also bummed that no bonuses have come through for DH. It still could-so we have a little hope, BUT not counting on it. He hasn't even been told if a raise would happen yet. Usually he finds these things out by mid December for the bonus and by mid Jan for the raise. So maybe some hope for a raise. If it doesn't happen though, I know he will be upset, b/c he started a new job for the same company he has been with for 14 years-they don't pump up your salary for new jobs if hired from w/in until the new year(kind'a stupid b/c if you start a new job in January that would pay , say, $10,000 more per year, a person hired from INSIDE the company will not be paid that $10,000 till the NEXT year!!! BUT if you are hired from outside the company, you'll get it straight off). Not much incentive for staying if you ask me. DH does love his job and that is what counts most. We all know those men base thier mood upon thier job and sports-well, at least mine does
. Yeah, we DO factor in thier somewhere, and I have a good guy!!
O well, still hoping to have it all paid by the time we pull out of the driveway!! It would be nice to be able to vacation without that in the way back of my mind!! B/c in Disney, the worry about it WILL be WAY back there!!!
15 days for us!!!!

Yikes!! I only paid $600 for the 3 of us from LAX... Try searching multiple airlines, depart Delta return United.
. The kids are doing a project on Singapore for our homeschool associations Mega Fest that is every March. So, she can match her sister and wear it there!
Yesterday was my last check prior to our trip. I get paid the day we arrive, Love direct deposit. Made sure all the bills are paid before so my whole pay check 
(Well maybe not the whole check, I hadn't planned on saving anything from this paycheck but might) will be for souvies and booze and whatever my kids little hearts desire!
LOL
