This economy Stinks!! Since my dear hubby is self-employed, in the construction field none the less, we aren't necessarily rollin' in the dough right now. Any one who's been in this line of work can understand the feast or famine life we live. We are grateful to be "making it" and paying our bills, but we would definitely like to be back where we were 2 years ago. I am not complaining, don't get me wrong, I am extremely blessed and have more than I could ask for, but darn it, I am supposed to be at my favorite place on earth right this very minute, and instead I am screaming at my children and freakin out about my house that looks like a bomb went off in. UEA is an awesome time to get a mini vacation and give one last hurrah for decent weather, instead I am blogging for enjoyment and no travel is planned for the next long while. Nothing (almost nothing) makes me happier than DISNEYLAND!!
I have been there so many times I could never count them. Jourden has been 8 times- he's 2. It is definitely an addiction that runs rampant through my family. Just as alcoholism can be hereditary, this is for my family. My parents often visit without any children, and they and all four of my siblings, and their spouses and kids have annual passes- and we all live here, and whenever any of us have an extra 10 dollars we head to Anaheim. Call us crazy-Geoff certainly does, but it is our veins. My awesome hubby (who is not the biggest fan) is so great to let me frequent the parks (I love them both) way more than he would like. He complains every time I mention the next time we should go, but ends up taking us anyway. He even flew there last trip and surprised us because he didn't go down with us. (He is a closet Disneyland fan!) I know of several people there right now and I am not jealous of the masses of crowds that UEA (Utah Enters Anaheim-not the real term, but fits better) brings, but I am still jealous no matter how crowded it is. HalloweenTime is so dang fun there. We went to Mickeys Halloween Treat last year and had so much fun. My kids literally filled an entire suitcase with candy from trick-or-treating in the park, and we still have some of that candy from a year ago! I bet it weighed 40 pounds and I am not exaggerating! 
I guess I will just have to dream, until a few more people dare brave the crap economy and build a house or two, COME ON PEOPLE, I need my Fix!!

I know how you feel. I have been trying to get to Disneyland for the last two years. I haven't been there since I was eight! Thats 20 yrs. for me. I'm hoping next year is my year!
I know about your addiction, but the first step to conquering it, is to admit you have a problem.
Oh, wait, you don't want to give it up. Okay, I guess you're not ready for a 12-step program, especially since your entire family enables your weakness.
I guess it isn't nice to tell you that I'm heading to Orlando, Florida, and a quick stop by Disney World. I do have you to thank for my costume idea. I'll post pictures when I get back.
ok, I just wrote a huge comment and then got kicked off - oh well. I love your blogs - they are to the point! One day I will get brave and rave about our crappy economy too! I stress about another possible "great depression" and we're not even in the construction industry. You have a husband who is the food storage guru and not a picky eater (haha)! Don't stress - the economy is like a rollercoaster - it goes down, but eventually it HAS to come back up!
You're a great mom too!
Dang economy! Hang in there, you'll get back there soon. Cute post, I love it.
I am shocked! We went to Disneyland for my first time last new years. It was horrible. We could barely walk down the street it was so crowded. We were lucky to be able to ride 4 or 5 rides all day, and that was from sun up till midnight.
There is something about it however, we are planning our next trip. It will be at a slower time of the year however.
My kids keep begging to go to Disneyland also. Also I love your quote you have posted on your sidebar. Somehow it totally fits your perspective that is always funny and true at the same time.
