I think it's Superman.
Anyway. I will NOT get to go to Six Flags tomorrow. While preparing clothes and getting ready for the 4 hour trip, I thought I'd check the website to see if we could bring food into the park. While waiting for it to load, I noticed a note in the bottom corner saying the park was closed on Sunday. Someone/something bought out the park for tomorrow. ??? I checked a while back for weekends the park was open. Saturdays and Sundays wide open. My ticket says Valid through the 28th. I called. The woman sighed at me and told me that I couldn't go.
But, but, but....my ticket says I can.
Well, you can't.
Then why does my ticket say I can?
It was printed before someone rented out the park.
Can I not exchange the ticket for a different expiration date since you aren't able to honor the date on my ticket?
No.
I wish I could say my last sentence was spoken with righteous indignation. No. I was sniffling and crying. My family has been looking forward to this! They were.....well, they were dishonorable!
Can you imagine if we had driven all that way???
I hung up and just cried. (hormones are in play at the moment) I kept thinking - if dh had followed my instinct and gone to St. Louis TODAY I could have met my fun friends and had dd's birthday party after church on Sunday. Instead, we scurried for a party that was difficult for friends to attend because of the date picked. It turned out well, but was a lot of stress to get there. I cussed while preparing for that party. I NEVER cuss. But I CUSSED. Dh thought it was adorable. I want to wash out my own mouth.
When I explained it to my poor kids, they had to listen to me stuttering my way through an explanation that was peppered with a lecture about growing up to be men of integrity and honoring their word. lol.
I'm adjusted now. What's done is done. There is no benefit to dissing dh. He made the decision he felt was best for all of us and he was quite likely right. So, tomorrow, our plan is to skip church (we already had s.s. subs) and just be together as a family. No internet, no t.v., no distractions. Bike ride, board games, maybe visit family. It'll be fun and all will be well.
