Rob is back to Work-We Agree to Disagree

With Rob back to work we need to plan our vacations wisely. We definitely agree on the Jan 12 vacation to my birthplace Madeira Portugal but beyond that we are t odds!

Rob's idea of vacation is season tickets to Bush Gardens, Disney and Universal as I want to head to Europe, Canada and Mexico and maybe venture to Australia to see my family and South America.

Somehow we need to have a balance and this is where we are! He wants both. But both require lots of money and time. Time I have money we don't!

Then there is the struggle of time away from my family here and the balance of keeping in touch with my kids in the New England area. All of this stresses me out!

I wish It would all just fall in place but it's a struggle and sometimes very verbally so as to what we do next. I am sure this will all work out but I just have to remember I will always no matter what have a child, like partner I am in love with that will somehow win as I become the photographer since my disability does not allow me to go on most of the park rides.

Yes as we move on I start living my life while watching him live it. Can't say it's bad, but dam I do love London, Spain and though I don’t smoke it Amsterdam would be nice.

A government shut down- You asked for it!

Do you realize when the government shuts down it pays its people back to the day it shut down! So let's see they shut down the government, millions of government workers stay home and go shoe shopping and when the battle is over these workers, who did nothing, get their pay retroactive to that day!

I JUST LOVE GOVERMENT! I supported it for the last 10 years of my career. I needed it to live now being disabled and realizing that my check along with others may not arrive next month angers me. So many areas of government are out of control, that it should shut down and begin brand new with private contracts monitored by government workers who are qualified to monitor.

We are the best democratic nation, but there is little to be liked about how it works just be dealing with Medicaid. It is so out of control, lacking common sense with unqualified staff that one can only get something done properly if escalated to management. It's like the first line of defense should all be fired.

So shut it down and create it from scratch with a profit in mind and not a burden on tax payers. It's an idea, amazes me why this idea is not implemented!
