Can I just tell everyone how much I am sooooo looking forward to this trip?!!! We leave in 11 days and it can't come fast enough after these last few months. The drama of dealing with a short sale purchase of our dream home (we are now 9 months in and still no closing in sight), now preparing our current home to go on the market, having MIL live with us for past 2 months while she finds a house (which she has now but still hasn't moved out because she wants to fix her place up first??) and the recent passing of my FIL - DH is only child and parent's divorced when he was young so he was left to deal with all the arrangements and estate stuff. I really tried not to wish the summer away but I'm so looking forward to this trip that I couldn't help myself.
Now I find myself wishing / okay praying that we secretly get upgraded to a 2BR suite because we always bring my MIL with us (we pay for everything in exchange for having an extra set of helping hands for the kiddos), but after having her live with us for the past 2 months, the thought of sleeping literally right next to her for a week in a single hotel room is kind of bumming me out. We like to plan trips for late August / early September because both kids' birthdays are in August as well as our Anniversary. This year we are celebrating #15 and it would really be nice to have our own room!!! I actually went online and was looking at pictures of the suites and dreaming how awesome it would be to have our own bedroom
Don't get wrong I have a really good relationship with my MIL - especially compared to some horror stories I hear from friends' but I've just had a little too much quality time with her lately.
Okay I will stop complaining now because I'm going back to my happy place. Thanks for letting me vent. Let's bring on the countdown! Even sharing living space with MIL is better in Disney World!!
