So Disneyland has been a blast, don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed almost every minute of it! That is, until I realized tonight as we were all walking home that I think I may have spent like $400 in 3 days.
$400...
3 DAYS!
Sheesh. Well when I brought this up my mom was like, "wow how'd that happen?" Well, let's see mom. I know you booked this (but really the army did), I know you paid for the tickets (I DID offer to buy my own), I know you paid for the car ride (but, again, if we're being that specific, the army did), I know you gave us $40 a day to spend (with ridiculously strict rules to go with it, by the way). But still, who bought Katie things when she wanted them? Who bought drinks when we needed them. Who JUST bought all the souvenirs for EVERYONE (to include Kate's boyfriend)? ME! I know you did your best, but $40 a day would never cover what it costs just to eat lunch and dinner for 2, let alone drinks or snacks. You tell me how I was supposed to pay for it if it didn't come out of my own account? I know I bought some things on my own, but I'm a big girl. I work for my money and I feel it's ok for ME personally to spend my own money, but when I'm not asked beforehand and then have to pay the extra $46 for dinner (after using what was left of the $40 for that day), that's when it gets frustrating.
Now don't those of you who may, take this the wrong way. I love my mom, always have, always will; in spite of her flaws she's an amazingly strong woman. I just needed an outlet to rant to, and this just happens to be it.
I didn't ever promise everything I wrote would be happy. In fact, I said that some of you may never like what my personal thoughts are. If you feel the need to tell me how bad of a daughter I am, please do so to my face and don't leave it here. I get it. I am a bad daughter. But nobody's perfect. Not even you.
