I know I have been hardly been around much Gnomies....this working full-time, Mommy-ing full-time, and Wife-ing full time is kicking my butt!!!! I feel like I barely have a moment in my day to myself, so please accept my apologies in being MIA! I am SO looking forward to Christmas break!!! We actually have a snow day today, so if we do go in tomorrow, just that day and I will be done for two weeks!!!! I AM TOO EXCITED to have all that time off!!! Now, I do have my cards made, but have not received them yet to mail.....so it might be after Christmas before they get out....but OH WELL!!!
Thanks to all the Gnomies whose cards I have already received....they have brightened up my days to get a little Gnomie love through the mail!
I hope Jess has a great little trip....how fun to have a quick trip pop up like that!!! I keep hoping Tom whisks us away---we were thinking at one point about heading down the week after Christmas, but his boss's wife has had some very serious life threatening health issues pop up, so he has had to pick up the slack at the office to help him out. So no December Magic for us! BUT......we there has been talking about our next trip. I have been so quiet about it though, because I am not exactly "happy" about it yet. WHY? Well, for a few reasons.......
We were originally thinking about heading down in June with our good friends Allen and Nicole from Kansas City and their niece Laila. BUT Nicole is taking some summer courses for another college degree that she is working on, so we have had to push this back to mid-late July or beginning of August. We would have much preferred the crowds and weather of the early June trip we were planning, but even the thought of going in the heat and crowds of July didn't completely damper my mood about the trip. Tom even said he wanted to definitely stay at one of the monorail resorts to offset any transportation issues we would have......this actually got me quite excited!!!!
BUT, then I found out that Allen and Nicole were actually planning on booking a 2 bedroom suite at an outside resort with their Hilton Points..............so then I started getting worried....down right nervous even about going in July, staying off-site, and dealing with the transportation problems. Then I really started to become uneasy when I started thinking that there could easily be days that we might be blocked out of the park not being resort guests. THEN I realized we would NOT be able to do the dining plan!!!!!!!!!!! SO now, I am just confused....I want to convince them to stay on-site, but how do I do that when they probably won't have to put any money out on the room if they just use their points?
Sorry to complain and vent about a possible WDW trip, but don't we get a little used to the ease and convenience of staying there at the resort....another case of how some people just don't "get it" like we do. I will keep you all posted about the details......wishing for some pixie dust!
I just told him I was declaring tonight a reading night.
