A day in the life of..

The Thursday after we went to Disney Vicky and the fam came here to stay with us. We went to the beach that day and because there were so many of us we had to take 2 cars. Me and Tyler rode in my car. I was just driving along to the beach and remember it is Spring Break so traffic was just horrible! When you get to Clearwater Beach there is a round-about. They put it in years ago to help with traffic but what a bad idea that was because NOBODY knows how to drive around it! The purpose is the just keep traffic going and everyone is supposed to yield into it. Anyway, I am driving and getting more frustrated by the minute because these people are taking so darn long to get through this thing. Finally the car in front of me had me at my breaking point! It totally stopped and was waiting for who knows what until it would go! I was getting mad so I beeped my horn. Still nothing. I could just imagine the person in the car sitting there going "Am I supposed to go? Maybe I should wait until every single car is gone - then it will be safe!" I honk again. Nothing. Finally I am laying on my horn and yelling like nobody's business. He finally went and I went right behind him and passed him and I am sorry to say flicked him my middle finger. I was beyond mad. Finally we got to the beach and I told Tyler I was sorry about that. I buried him in the sand and he played in the water with Vicky, we had a great day.

A couple days later we were in the car with Pete and Tyler says something about someone at school told him that if you point your middle finger to the ground it is OK because you are saying a bad word to the devil. So I said, "No, buddy I don't think that is a good idea. It is never a good idea to put out your middle finger." His reply, "So why did you do it to that man at the beach?!" Then he proceeds to tell me that when all that was happening, "I was thinking to my self that poor man. my mom just said every bad word to him." Great! Can you imagine Tyler in the back seat feeling sorry for that guy? This kid is just too cute! (Tyler thinks that flipping your middle finger means every bad word.)

Last Wednesday we went to Disney. Tyler skipped school and off we went. It was me, Tyler and Deborah. And we met Vicky, her dad - Joe B, her sister Maria and her sister's baby Alexa there. It was weird because the park was packed since it was spring break but the lines were really not that long. I was a little nervous going because I thought Tyler wouldn't want to do the same things the baby did and we would have to keep splitting up and things like that but I was shocked to find we spent the whole day together and Tyler was quite the trooper! He never cares about the characters, but this time he did! He loved seeing them all and getting his picture taken - it was funny! I have quite a few pictures of him with characters and he even got kissed by Minnie Mouse!! He thought that was pretty funny. We rode all the rides he wanted. He even rode Space Mountain again and LOVED it! He had a huge smile on his face at the end of that ride. He was so cute. Overall we had a great time and I know he did too. He was awesome with Alexa and kept her entertained in the lines. He really liked her! She kept hitting his head and he thought it was funny.
