I am so sorry to hear about your family. It's tough when everything happens at once (believe me with 3 grandparents in their 90's and another in very bad health, I have some experience in this area this year). I hope you find some stress relief closer to home soon (groupon for massage near you?). Try to be thankful that you had the money to cover the unexpected expense, even if it did dip into your fun money. I am sure that you will be back in the game in no time!!

I am just thankful that I have some gift cards already bought. It may only be $50 but it's a new start. I also have some money sitting in my paypal account that I have decided not to touch. There is roughly $50 there.
I hope that this will pass soon and I can get back on track for next year.

Tanya - So sorry to hear that things didn't work out as planned :/ Can DH watch the kids for a few hours so that you can do a frugal pamper session for stress relief? Yummy smelling body wash/lotion.. mani/pedi... mask ...

I just took the remaining money out of our Disney Fund down to $8. I will start over from there along with the $50 in giftcards that I have tucked away that will bring my new total to only $58. Just hope there will be some awesome packages to come out for next year. We won't have the money to renew our passes this time. Patty- I have a gift certificate that DH gave me for valentines day. I am going to try to make an appointment for later this week during my lunch break.

Oh no Tanya! I hope everyone's health improves, Disney has some great deals for 2012, and you can get a bit of relaxation... It stinks to have to cancel the trip.

It does stink! I am trying to look at this as a blessing in disguise. DH says that since we had to cancel this trip that we may do another 2 week stay like we did at Christmas.

Oooh, a two week stay would rock! Hope the saving goes fast, your family is healthy in no time, and you get a long trip with low crowds, free dining, great weather... and whatever else your heart desires!
