I miss Disneyland!!! I used to live 15 minutes away from there and had season passes. Sometimes we would just take the kids there in the evening to watch a parde!

Thanks all! It was a blast of course. Went on space mountain like 4 times, pirates a good 5. Hit up Thunder Mtn RR a few times, once at night. I don't remember ever doing it at night before and it was a blast!

Unfortunately all the parades and fireworks were cancelled due to rain and wind. But we went on all the rides one more time instead after the park cleared out lol.

I have never been to Disneyworld. I think that needs to be on my bucket list!

Glad you had a good time. Islands of Adventure is my favorite all time park now that I am older. Disney World is good but I have had a hard time with my kids age ranges finding something for all of them at once.

So you never did "it' at night??? LOL Sorry I couldn't resist.

No news is sorta good news?

Been SO busy. I ran my unit's annual qualification range last month. Plus I attended the language conference on behalf of my company commander. Now the Army has dropped an exercise in Florida on my lap on less than two weeks notice.

My civilian boss is pissed, I'm pissed, my boyfriend is pissed.

This last minute, drop-everything is getting old, especially for an exercise which has been planned for months so there's no excuse for the lack of communication.

I already bought my light rail monthly pass for April, which I won't be using half of. I paid for a 6 week intermediate training class with the dog that I'll be missing two weeks of. Not to mention missing her first birthday, my sister and brother's birthdays, and I have to get the taxes done before I leave.

The 10k in Napa this weekend went well, other than the rain. It was pretty fun, and I finished in 1:01:10-ish. Official times haven't been posted yet.

And I have a massage scheduled for the state holiday on Thursday. But I'll apparently be using the rest of the day to try and get last-minute stuff done and pack.

Official time posted at 1:01:02!!!!

Had a $h!tty conversation with my company commander last night. Not only am I stuck going on this exercise, he made it sound like it's my fault. Told me I need to manage my career better. Um, how am I supposed to manage it when you don't tell me?!? I ain't a mind reader. I asked to be put on the list for the local training course at the end of May, I planned around attending that course in May, I AM on the list to attend that course in May. How am I supposed to ask to be removed from a list that I don't know I'm even on?!? Then he tells me it probably could have been changed if I had asked earlier...again, how can I ask if I don't know!?!?!?!

Then found out that I'm not the only one who magically appeared on the list for this exercise. And one in particular is having problems with the last minute notice. One of my poor specialists is having a hard time arranging childcare and he threatened her with an Article 15 for missing movement. F'ing a$$.

Then to top it off, he told me that even though he said I could have Saturday May 14th off to attend SIL's wedding, he hadn't signed my leave request form yet, and now he's not going to. He's taking it back because the battalion executive officer said a wedding was not a good enough excuse, someone has to die. Best part is, the battalion executive officer has no real say over this. My company commander is the only one who needed to approve the request, and he'd already done so verbally. So all he had to say was, sorry sir, it's already been approved. But no, he rolled over and threw me under the bus. I have no respect left for him. He's just a pushover who's so interested in brown-nosing his own career he'll throw all those under his command to the wolves.

My first sergeant is livid. She said she's going to talk to him and probably the battalion sergeant major as well.

I am SO looking forward to his deployment now. If only because first sergeant and I will be in charge and we will put a stop to all this BS!!!
