Journaling:

Had a really nice time at Disneyland ! The boys had a blast although I don't think they cared too much for all the princess/fairy tale stuff , but my 4yo niece absolutely loved it !

My sister P was talking about going again in July. She said hopefully H could join us for that time (if I decide to go again). I think if we do end up going, we should try to stay for a week....3 days is not enough time to see and do everything between the two parks. We spent more than half a day in Tomorrowland alone !

Anyway, as soon as my cellphone was back in range (I have a cheapie plan), H was calling me. He asked about our time and said he was glad to hear that we had fun. Then he asked, "So about how much did you spend?" I estimated about $1000 for everything (three 3-day hopper passes, meals, souvenirs, etc.). H let out a BIG sigh and said, "Oh well....nothing I can do but live with it....well I'm glad you had a good time." He repeated this a few times. Not the same exact words over and over again, but his unhappiness about the money spent.

So I sat there and took it in. Let him rub it in my face some more because that's how it feels. I did tell him thank you and that I appreciated him letting us go. He didn't say anything in response to that.....I don't know, I guess I would've liked to hear something like, "Sure. No problem," but it seems like that was too much to ask for because it is a problem.

Well, H leaves for Chicago later this week, and he'll be gone until the 27th. When he returns, he has his physical to do for Valero. If all continues to go well, he should begin working for them around the end of May.

On the R front, there's nothing. We only talk when we need to (re: kids). In fact, H should be here in an hour or so to pick up S10 and S6. He's taking them to SIL's D2's birthday party. S1 isn't feeling well. I think he might have an ear infection. My mom said he's been running a temperature off and on since Monday, and I just now saw him poking at his ear a little bit. Poor little guy. I had better get off of here and call his doctor now.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Thanks for listening.
