Oh my!! Oh my!! Oh my!!!

We got back from Branson yesterday afternoon. UGGGG, I am really tired, and guess what...I need another vacation!! I have so many things going through my head today.
  1. Aleeyah's birthday party is next Saturday, I am trying to get that together.
  2. When I came home yesterday I found out that a teacher I had in school, that I just love has breast cancer. They caught it fast enough that she will be fine, but it is still scary.
  3. Aleeyah starts home schooling on Monday morning. This is exciting for her and her father, but scares me to death. There are so many subjects that I am horrible at, but figure that Kindergarten won't be to bad!! Since I can't afford Christian School, she will be attending Abeka Academy at home. They are wonderful and well worth the money.
  4. This is the thing that is giving me the most nightmares!! My husband has decided that since Motors was not doing so well, and he hit the 30 mark, he should maybe have a career change. I was thinking going to college to work on cars, boats or something like that. I never imagined what came out of his mouth!! He wants to go to college to be a helicopter pilot. Oh my goodness, I fell over. I just don't know if I can support him in this. I know I need to, but I just can't do it! What if he wrecked and it killed him? What if he couldn't do it and had no job? What if I had to relocate to his work? What if, what if, and what if? I just don't know what to think or do. I am praying that this is a "phase" he is going through.

Branson was the best. We are currently making plans to go back in November. They are playing Peter Pan on stage at the Mansion Theatre, and I have to take the girls to see it. They love Peter Pan. We went to Silver Dollar City this time, since mom and dad was with us, and it was great. Sam and myself were able to ride all the rides while mom and dad watched the girls for us. The American Plunge (log ride), was the worse!! They took pictures of Sam and me riding it and I look terrified. I have my eyes closed and I am leaned back, you can tell that I am screaming loudly! I must WARN you all, that if you go on vacation in Branson and see a location that states "Discount show tickets", DON'T DO IT!!! We decided that it was going to cost $150.00 per family to get into SDC, so we needed to try to look for a bargain. We found a place in DT Branson that said "discount show tickets". We decide to try it and we go in. This man tells us that all he needed us to do was go and watch a 5 min movie on a local retreat called Stormy Point Resort. He then explains that the movie and the tour of the homes will total around 49-60 mins, and then we would get our tickets, which saved us a $100.00 per family. Okay, we told him that we would do it and on we went. We get to the location at 11:00 am, our meeting was at 12:00 that day. We meet the man who will be explaining (selling) this vacation home to us. To make a long story short, after 3 1/2 hours and a tour, we were ready to KILL!! The home was gorgeous, and we were going to do it till he broke the news that he wanted $5900.00 right then, and $697.00 a month for 6 years and at the first of every year he wanted $500.00 for a maintenance fee! Uhhhhh, needless to say we walked out. They save the bomb for last, they get your hopes up and BOOMMMMM they blow you up!! So as a fair warning please don't waste your time. Yes, you get a discount but you waste your whole day doing it.
