It's been a crazy week in Waldoville. I'm talkin' crazy, prozac popping, tequila chasin' crazy!
It all started when I booked our ADR for CRT. As you all know, CRT has to be paid in full at time of booking. Well, I informed the Ducks and the Waldos that I would pay for it and they could pay me back when my CC bill came. I don't know if you recall, but DH is anti-credit card. He's the credit card Nazi.
He doesn't understand credit cards ARE the American way. It's a part of the Constitution, isn't it?
Anyway, so I paid for CRT & Waldo paid the deposits on the package, since he is the
AAA member. So all the bills come and DH is furious.
Why did I put CRT on a credit card? Why didn't I just use the VISA check card? Hello??? Don't you remember what happened last year?
I don't know if I mentioned this before but last year when we got home from WDW, a few days later we received a call from our bank saying there's been some suspicious activity on our bank account and could they verify some information. You see, we used our VISA check card as a credit card when we checked into the Poly. We wanted the advange of being able to use our KTTW cards for purchases, but we didn't want to rack up a credit card bill. We thought it was a smart move until..... now I'm not pointing any fingers, but
someone from the Poly lifted our card and tried to purchase a car with our bank account information! Suckers! Do you really think we have 40K in our checking account???
Not that there's anything wrong with having 40K in your checking account, but we do not.
But, I digress.
Anyway, DH is mad cause I used duh duh duh.... a credit card!
Waldo is mad because the Ducks haven't paid him his $200, The Enabler is mad at Waldo because Donald is his son and can suck up the $200. Everyone is mad and everyone because of what??? Money? It's been a week of "you owe me "X" for "Y" and "Well, I paid for "Z" and that cancels out "X". It's been crazy, I tell you. The final straw was Tuesday night.... The Waldos are going to Ojai the weekend after Easter with another brother, who I'll call Scrooge.
If I never mentioned it, Waldo is an avid golfer. He golfs Wednesdays and Thursdays with a group of old crabby men at his Country Club. Sometimes Fridays, if The Enabler allows.
So, he'll miss golfing with his cronies on the Ojai weekend. Then I remind him that the weekend after Ojai, I have tickets for all of us to go to "A Day With Thomas the Tank Engine", on Saturday. Another day of golfing not to be had. Waldo is highly angered when he hears this.
He tells me that I bought the tickets without asking him if he wanted to go. Uh-uh... not true.
I showed him the Thomas the Train website in November 2006 and he said we should go to that. But we missed the November dates, so I got April dates. Evan is a HUGE fan of Thomas. He's got the train table and about a gazillion Thomas and Friends trains. He just loves trains... all trains... but Thomas the Train is his idol. So this Day out with Thomas is about 3 hours away up in the central part of Cali where they actually have green pastures and stuff. You take a train ride on a huge steam engine painted to look like Thomas... yada yada yada. Anyway, we have this huge blow out and I tell him I'm going to sell his tickets on ebay and that I don't want him to even go with us now.
Long story short
he's going, only because he and Evan are best buddies and he doesn't want to let Evan down. Did I mention to make nice with me, he brought me lunch from the Country Club on Wednesday?
Grrrr.... I swear, if he makes me mad again, I'm gonna throw him right off the Thomas Train!
UPDATE ON THE ENABLER:
Maddie, Evan and I all have nasty allergies to pollen and mold. It's been really bad here for about 5 days. Thankfully, Maddie does not have asthma, like Evan and I do. We have these winds here called Santa Ana winds and they basically blow all the dust from the hills toward the ocean. They suck and the 3 of us get very congested and such. Anyway, The Enabler has not only been suffering from her rib pain, but has been complaining of clogged ears. She says it sounds like she's underwater or something. DH gave her a Claratin, to see if that helped. This time he did tell her it was a Claratin, for allergies.
It helped a little, but she went to the doctor and he gave her a miracle shot. I swear to you, today she is 90% "recovered". She's doing laundry and even wants to do some shopping tomorrow! It's a miracle, I tell you! A miracle.
She miraculously recovered right before her Ojai trip!
I have a cute video I have to post on here. I just have to figure out how to post it!
QUESTION AND ANSWER TIME:
Do you buy a new wardrobe for vacation???
UPNEXT: EVERYTHING IS FINALIZED... OR IS IT??
She always has been even as an infant. Now Evan, that's another story. 
I even bribe him with a box of donuts. 
I'm not even kidding you that it's now Saturday and she is 80% healed.
