I always seem to get in some sort of dispute with other shoppers in Walmart lol. I don't know what it is! I don't know how the ones on Texas are but up here they're just so dirty and rundown. I'm sure that both options would have been a nightmare though.
That's why I only go to newer Wal Marts. Some of the old ones are funky!! I just wish there was a Target close enough, that I could just go there.
wookie I've wanted to go to Red Lobster for years but none in the immediate area same thing with Outback![]()
I haven't been to an Outback in years. I think I was in high school, or just graduated, the last time I ate at one. We have a steakhouse, called Salt Grass, that we go to when we want a steakhouse. The DH can't eat steak, but they have an amazing bake potato soup, and Range Rattlers (a battered and fried jalapeno stuffed with a whole shrimp and cheese) that he eats instead of a steak. Then he steals some of my roasted mushrooms.
Saga of Bob update......so he never took his alarm wake up call (5am) off his phone since he retired well last week when I was using it I took it off. Guess what he is sleeping later now (8-9am) even if he has a hard time getting to sleep good right?
Nope now his new complaint is he slept too late and is too tired to get up and out to do or go any place
He has 2 Dr Appt on 9/16 and he better go, he threw out one of his meds after reading about the bad side effects, it was the one that made him walk around like a zombie sometimes but that was his fault since it said take 4x a day which I told him was once every 6 hours but he would take them as he wanted popping one two three or all four at once
I give up the man is hopeless, he does the same thing with another med he takes same directions but he takes 2 in the am and 2 in the PM instead of spacing them out.
And he wonders why he feels bad
Ok vent over![]()

I am sorry I have been completely MIA since returning from WDW. I've been reading when I get a chance, but no time to comment or update. And I've just been in a funk as well considering everything going on here as well as no trips to plan for right now (not that I'd have the time, but it'd be a welcome diversion at least).
The day after we returned from Disney, my DH took my MIL to Prompt Care because she had a lump on her side and her back was really bothering her. To make a long story short, after an ultrasound, cat scan, and MRI, she's been diagnosed with cancer (probably stage 4, but they never really said). 22cm mass on her right kidney, 7.5cm mass in her colon, and many small lesions in/on her abs. The mass on her kidney is basically so large that it's pushing her other organs (liver and diaphragm). Did a biopsy and found it to be a sarcoma (which is one of the rarest kinds of cancers I guess). Now we're just waiting to hear whether the plan is to cut out as much as they can first, then chemo and radiation or chemo and radiation to shrink and kill as much as possible, then surgery, then more chemo and radiation. She's the strongest woman I know and the most stubborn, so she's ready and willing to fight at this point. Prognosis is at least a bit better of survival rate compared to what we were originally thinking, but I think we're well aware that time is limited even so...they can do a lot with the combination of surgery and chemo and radiation, but it's obviously not curable...
Couple that with a new job for me and the stress levels in the house have been hard to take...
*hugs*

We have made some changes to our August trip. Good ones, I think. First, we added a night. So now we are 9 nights, from 8/16/14 - 8/25/14!!!
You might recall that we are normally 10 night peeps but it was a touch too long last time. Well, the kids told us that the next time we go, we should stay 12 nights!!!!so.....thinking that would be a bit much, but still scared of the scene we experienced this past trip we think 9 nights might be perfect! We shall see.....
On top of that, we switched to AKL CL!!!!!
This is one of those resorts that everyone really wants to stay at, but we just haven't because there are always more "appealing" options....but, adding a night at AKL still cut $700 off the cost from the Sugarloaf plans. Plus, well be able to do the sunrise safari, which my girls and DH will LOVE!
Given that the POLY is the only monorail resort that we absolutely WANT to stay at, and we can leave or take GF and CR, it seems like a good chance to knock AKL off the list!
It also didn't help that we have very good friends down there right now that are constantly texting me gorgeous photos from there....
Will it stick?? Stay tuned.....
But I really want an AKL ticker....![]()
WOO HOO AKL!! I can't wait for our stay there!!
In 14 days, I will be sitting there. Can't wait!!
Wookie-Now we are all going to have to clean out our cars.![]()
I still have to do mine, but I have until Tuesday to get it done. Nothing like waiting until the last moment to get something done. Well, I was going to do it today, but my fil's mom and one of his sister's came over which meant that I couldn't clean the car out.
The 8 miles from AKL to MK is way better than the 1,355.49 miles that MK is from my house....I think we'll live.
It's all about perspective.![]()
I love your thinking. If it's eight miles from the AKL to the MK, then from our house to the MK it's 1,190 miles.
Well today didn't turn out to be as terrible as my mil and I had feared it was going to be, and that is thanks to my mil being sneaky. The fil's mom and sister's wanted to come over and talk to him about something serious with his mother's health and about his father's will. Well only one sister came and they left the will at home. Then they never talked about what they wanted to talk about. Probably part of the reason they didn't is that my mil had my DH put in a John Pinette DVD for them to watch. Then by the time it was over, since they came over so late, it was getting close to 9 PM. They left without talking to the fil about whatever this serious matter was. I'm pretty sure the mil did this because she knew that by the time it was done, it would be so late they would want to leave.
Tomorrow I start full time with my friend's in home day care. I have to call the boys schools tomorrow and see if I can pick up their schedules. Then the DSs just have to make it through 7 days of school and we are on our way to WDW!!
