My dh and I had such a great time on our first trip to WDW last year. And he knows that I am hoping to go back. He has always said that we will not go back until after the dog is dead (she's a 10yo beagle, his baby). But lately things have been said that make me wonder if he is planning something.
For one thing, he said something about knowing that I want to plan my next trip for November before Thanksgiving or early February. I didn't even think he paid any attention to what I'd said about that.
Youngest dd commented that she is planning her son's birthday party early (his bd is Nov. 15) and when I asked why, she sort of stumbled around for an excuse. She said her sil always seems to plan something that conflicts with his bd. Always? The boy is just turning 2 in November, how can there be an "always"?
Today dh asked me if I have enough fall clothes. He has never, in 31 years of marriage, asked me about my clothing supply. He told me he thought I ought to buy some new clothes for the fall. This is totally unlike him.
When I sat down a week or so ago playing around with trip dates at the Disney site, I came up with the same length-of-stay trip at the same resort (including tickets and dining) as we did last year for $500 less. When I mentioned it to him, he went overboard about how it was not feasible for us to go this year. His reaction seemed way too exaggerated.
And when I was showing Disney pictures on the computer to my dgd last week, my sil said to me, "So, you really don't think you'll be going back any time soon?" Almost as if he were testing me to see if I knew anything.
I've been helping my youngest dd since she had twins in March (along with a 3 1/2 yo and 1 3/4 yo) and recently I started helping another young mom in our church who doesn't have any family around. Dh has said a few times that I need to consider taking a break. Maybe I should ask him if he has any particular kind of break in mind . . .
Ok, so maybe I am jumping to conclusions and setting myself up for a big disappointment. But a girl can dream, can't she? And if a girl can, then this old lady can! And I just had to tell somebody and I can't say anything to any one around here.
Oh, and my birthday is in October. He knows that I am a planner, so I don't think he would do the "pack your bags" routine. I do think he would give me a month's notice.
