Dh just said I CANT go!!!!
But then he just woke up... So maybe if I give him a few days to adjust to it... Do you think he would notice if I told him I was going to visit my sister for a few days? I should have started off with that!!!!
Ooooohhh... I think i will tell him that instead.
Okay, don't panic or get mad. If he just woke up then that probably had alot to do with it. I know my DH is a grouch when he first wakes up. Heck, so am I.
Don't press the issue. We have time. We don't even have a date yet so it's not like we have to make reservations tomorrow, kwim?
For some guys, they worry about how their wives taking off will effect them. A valid point. What you do is reassure him that you will take care of everything before you leave. And you will. Let's face it, we're women. It's instinct whether we like it or not.
Last year when I went away, before I left I picked out clothes for the kids (well, the younger two, the older ones dress themselves). I put them in bags and labeled who it was for and for what day. So no worries there.
I did all the laundry before I left so everyone had clean clothes. I grocery shopped and I cooked different easy to reheat meals, and baked some cookies as a treat. Food always makes them happy.
I don't know what your child care situation is, but alot of the ladies made arrangements for their moms or a neighbor or other family member to come and help out with the kids.
Basically, the point is to make it as easy on them as possible. LOL So they don't panic thinking it's all going to fall apart once you leave.
Another concern might be money. Not sure if that's true in your case, but if so, there are ways to do this so it doesn't have to cost a fortune. I posted some earlier in another post, but we can stay at a hotel that doesn't cost alot, and then if you get a roomie, even better. If it has a free breakfast, that's one less meal to pay for.
You can say your not going to buy alot of souvenirs. Oh, and if your really desperate, Mother's Day is in May you know. You could always say that you want this as part of or all of your Mother's Day present. That might work too.
Plus we have time to save up for it.
Remind him that taking this time for you will only have you coming back home relaxed, refreshed and ready to be back with your family.
And finally, some men just worry that their wives might go off and act all crazy. I mean, really, it's Disney, not Vegas. Nothing bad will happen. You can reassure him of that. (and don't mention the strippers that come to the hotel room.....
)
Tell him you plan to spend the whole time window shopping. Men hate that.
Also if he's at all concerned over safety, or you meeting with "strangers", remind him we have 6 months before the trip. Last year, I talked with the ladies who went on the trip almost daily online, and by the time the trip came, I felt like I knew them.
We talked about our kids, and families, our daily lives, etc. So it's not like you meet someone online and then take off the next day to meet up alone. kwim?
If all else fails, bring out the thong and hot shoes and see if you can convince him in other ways. That usually works.
If it still doesn't work, then all bets are off and we'll just come and kidnap you.
Right now it's between the end of April and the beginning of May. 
I just mentioned it to dh. I hope he is cool with it. 
No stabbing!!!!
I was checking plane tickets, ouch.
