I am glad to know I am not boring you all I totally forget to take food porn I will try my best to remember before everyone is halfway through there meals.

I was up at 4am decided I was sick of being awake in the middle of the night and I would Tay p well that worked now it's 1am and Im awake instead but hopefully that means I will be able to go back to sleep.

Today I drove to Houston found out I have really good brakes on the car and we are very grateful to be still here though ds11 is not to happy about the sore tummy from the seatbelt truck deciding to change lanes is all I need to say it took everything in me to not pull over and throw up I was shaking for half an hour and I knew if I pulled over I would not be able to continue driving so I was very to arrive

We went to our friends for a few hours then to the hotel and today we were very boring and e microwaved hot pockets and Corn dogs from Krogers for tea I also got $1000 of Disney gift cards and I got a new Kroger card it gave me $2 a gallon of fuel so I am thinking I will use that to pre pay my tips and buy my Photopass and go get some more today I also thinking I will get a
Some Nike store cards and I better get a Walmart gift card with $ that high I am also going to call the hotels we haven't paid and ask them to charge us I am not going to trust the $ to stay up

There are red velvet cupcakes in the fridge and everyone is asleep I wonder if the kids will otice one missing

I LOVED the Oakley shop at the outlets. I bought 2 pairs of sunnies, jacket & shorts. Half price or even more. Gee I LOVe those outlets.

 

[Caroline NZ]

Ohh, your braking incident sounds scary. Good on you for carrying on.
Loving your updates

 

[Ms. Shuttergirl]

That truck situation sounds frightening. Glad you got through it and you sound like you were extremely brave by soldiering on.

Good idea to be paying for all of your hotels now. I'm thinking about doing the same.

The oakleys ds11 got were $100 cheaper at Sunglass Hut than the Oakley store and I love the fact they put in your Aussie address for the warranty.

Thanks my insides still quiver thinking about it

Thank you it was most certainly one of those I can't believe we're still alive times.
I haven't paid the hotels yet but will do it over the weekend I can't believe how much the $ is fluctuating.

Today was a great day the kids went to our friends I napped for 2 hours being awake from 1am is not a good idea
Then us girls went to a wonderful bra shop oh my gosh I am never buying them anywhere else and they will post to me 6 bras 4 4 me 2 4 dd13 $380 and the comfort no underwires and things sitting in the right places not at your belly button
Ok that's enough about that we then went to Sears dd got a couple of things then we went to Lane Bryant when we walked in the store the lady said do you know we are having a sale between 5-9 50% of everything Lane Bryant magic words for a lady who only packed 2 pairs of clothes so she had to go shopping
$630 and 2 1/2 hours later I walked out with 3 bags of clothes and I have filled a suitcase of things for myself for the first time ever and I'm not finished yet

Then we went to a Mexican place For tea with the boys and went to Keema to watch the fireworks I must say they were amazing even without the castle in the background

Glad you arrived safely and Ds too!

After the drive you had today red velvet cupcake away.

Stay safe and keep having a wonderful time.

Thanks and we had the cupcakes at 4 in the morning everyone was starving
It was a relief to have ds16 arrive but the peace we had for 2 days disappeared

 

[Minnie Sue Oz]

Loving all your updates so far!

And shopping, oh I love shopping! I will actually get to do some serious shopping on our next trip as DH, as much as I love him, is not a shopper. And when I say not a shopper, I mean NOT a shopper! So, it will be wonderful to not have to worry about him not enjoying himself while DD and I shop. I do think I am going to spend up big though as he wont be there to monitor me!
Great idea re the gift cards. I have just stocked up myself and had them sent to the Ho Jo with the rest of goodies that I bought in their sale. Gotta love T-Shirts for $9.00!!!

Have fun...........looking forward to the next instalment!

 

[Minniemum]

I'm also along for the ride. Loving the updates.

I am feeling like a bad parent it's 2 in the morning my 2 youngest are awake they can't sleep cause there we came back to the hotel early last night because I felt like a migraine coming on on the way back to the hotel I just had a yucky feeling in my tummy thought it was the headache we walked in the lobby there was "a person" speaking to the front desk obviously there girlfriend I saw what they were wearing as we entered whispered to the kids don't say anything keep walking dd13 didnt hear me she asked me what was wrong the front desk lady said hello how are we and I was forced to answer the persons head snapped around and the look on his face freaked us out.
I should of called my friend and asked them to come and get us nothing has happened but we do not feel safe I have 2 kids awake and scared and I have an 11 year old who keeps waking up shaking this is and I should of trusted my instinct and called my friend in the daylight. I feel like an idiot

 

[Kangarucci]

Are you ok? Have things settled?

 

[WAMUMOF4]

Are you ok? Have things settled?

We're fine the kids are just scared and jump at evey noise I guess we just feel vulnerable but we are checking out in the morning the kids want to go now I told them there is no way we are leaving in the dark I just feel silly and can't believe that someone looking at us that way could freak us out so much
I know my friends would come and get us in a heartbeat and I know they are Going to tell me off in the morning or not calling them but I just feel like an idiot for stressing
