My husband has gotten better aout me spending money while actually there on vacation. When we went to Disney World I told him I was taking $150, $50 to spend on the grand kids and $100 on myself. He always makes me feel terrible in spending it while he is shopping with me so I took my daughter with me. She totally understands her Dad and wants the best for me. Don't know what I would do without her. So we had a couple of shopping sprees and did quite well. I bought some Mickey Mouse crocs and a Disney Hoodie, those were my big items then some other small things.

The latest on our trip planning to Branson. Iknow that a person can not just up and totally change their anger, they have to work on it and it has to be deliberate. But I also know that I can't expect him on the day before we go on vacation to say "oh, I have to work on my anger!!!'. So it has to be a long process. So this week there has been no change at all just driving around in our city. The smallest thing will tick him off. I mentioned nicely that he needs to start working on this road rage so we can go on vacation. Yeah, I know. So i just finally told him I am no longer doing any planing until I see that he is working on his half of the bargain. So that set him off again. He loves to take our oldest daughter and family which includes a 5 and ten year old on vacation or just anywhere. My daughter doesn't want her kids to even here the word idiot as referring to some one. He is totally able to control himself when we make these long trips with them. Why can't he with just me.
