I'm thankful for...MICKEY!!! My Thanksgiving '08 TR!: TR Update, Last Day!

[mkluvsmickey]

Sorry about your DH maybe not coming - you'd still go though, right?
Keep us posted!

I know haven't been on a while (we just got back) but I just wanted to offer you some hugs, hon.

It's a tough choice, I know you'll find what works for you.

Thank you!

Sorry to hear that your dh won't be joining you

Thanks for the hug!

I'm ABSOLUTELY still going! There are very few things that could stop me from going!

I will definitely keep you posted.

Uh oh.

I did ask DH to consider doing Thanksgiving and Christmas with his family one week before each holiday. I THINK he's considering it.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see what he decides...

Maybe he will be able to arrange to do that during the weeks before. A lot of people have to do that as they juggle multiple families and in-laws and such. I've done that with Jill and John so that they could be at John's parents on the day of whichever holiday, because that seems to be a really big deal to John's mom. I'm okay with just being together whenever it works out best for everyone. Hopefully, that will work out, but if not, you do still have your friends going, too, right?

I wish I could go the weekend before Christmas. I would love to do each park for one day all day and soak up all the Christmas decor, shows, parades, etc. and take a zillion pictures. I know we won't be able to get in all the Christmas stuff I want to do when we go for Thanksgiving, and I have the time off of school at Christmas. I don't have the money, but I have the time.

I am so sorry that your DH won't be able to make it to Disney!

I also hope you sell your house quickly and are able to get one in Chicago without any problems!

 

[mrsksomeday]

Aww, I am so sorry that he might not go. Maybe he will change his mind and do what you said about celebrating a week early. Sending you pixie dust hoping he changes his mind .

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, no! I hope he decides to go after all!!!

I agree...just being together is the important thing. I'm not too hung up on celebrating holidays on the day of. Hopefully, DH's fam will be the same!

My parents, my bro, and my bro's wife are absolutely in for the trip. And my friend and her DH and DS are maybes. So I guess I can't complain too much...

Let's figure out how to grow money trees!

Thanks.

We are going to list the house at a VERY competitive price, so hopefully that will help it sell!

Thanks, Tracy.

I hope the pixie dust works!

Oh, no! I hope he decides to go after all!!!

Thanks. I hope so too!

How can you convert your hater without a hater to convert It might be a reaction to all the stress - he might change his mind if you can work out the holiday thing.

I can't wait to see your pics of your fixed up house!

I'll be leaving for Mexico in 2 days - I'll post a TR on the Community board when I get back - I'll check in with the link then - I think you asked about the resort??? Lots of people have, so I'm starting to get confused about who wants to know! Hope you have sold your house when i get back!

 

[MeMom]

Let's figure out how to grow money trees!

If I could grow money like I grow pears, I'd be well off! I've got two pear trees in the backyard that are putting out about eleven thousand pears a day, it seems like!

There's an old black and white movie about a couple who discovered a money tree growing in their backyard. It was great at first, but it ended up causing a lot of problems. I need to find that and watch it again to remind myself that I should stop wishing for a money tree, because I find myself doing that occasionally.

I'm glad you still get to go in November, even if hubby doesn't, and that you'll have plenty of good company.

 

[JaxJags08]

Oh no - I'm sorry to hear that your DH might not go! I hope everything works out so that he does decide to go. If not, at least you'll have your family and friends. Then you'll have to make DH promise, promise, promise to go back with you really soon and you can plan another trip. Yeah, I know, that probably doesn't make you feel too much better...

Okay, let's just grow a tree that grows Disney dollars!

Oh, to plan another trip....

After some major discussions, DH and I decided that it would be fine to invite his family to our house for weekends surrounding the holidays. That means that he's coming to Disney World again!!!! I am SOOOO happy! It will be so much more fun and romantic with him! Oh, and he's the only one of the group who will completely go along with my commando plans, so I need him there!

On the house front, our house isn't listed yet, but there has been a sign in the yard for a week, just to "generate interest." Well, the realtor has received some calls and we have someone coming over for a showing Sunday!!! And she's "very interested." We have LOTS of work to do before Sunday. Fortunately, DH's mom is coming into town this weekend to help us!

 

[JaxJags08]

Woo-hoo! That's great news!

Good luck with the showing this weekend. That's great that you already have someone that's "very interested". It's not much fun to have to keep a house looking like it's not lived in for 6 months - I know!

That is my worst fear! I don't think I could keep up the charade for months and months! I don't know how you did that!

I have a hard enough time cleaning my house once a week!

I have a hard enough time cleaning my house once a week!

When I did it, I just blocked off certain rooms of the house and no one was allowed to go in them. I asked the realtor to give me at least 1 hour notice before bringing anyone so I could tidy up and pick up DD's toys. But one time I got a call saying they were in my subdivision and wanted to stop by in 5 minutes! DD's toys were scattered all over the living room and I told the realtor I needed more time to pick up and she said ok. But then she called back a few seconds later and the people said they didn't care about buying the toys, but buying the house. To make a long story short, I threw all her toys in baskets as they were pulling up. And they didn't even buy the house. Aargghh...it still makes me mad.

Hey - I'm a stay-at-home mom and I have a hard time cleaning once a week! I mean, I pick up and stuff so it's not a pigsty. But the real cleaning is a once a week occurrence for me.

 

[luvfigment]

YAY!!! You DH is going to Disney still! I am glad that is working out for you. Good luck on Sunday and getting the house ready!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I am so glad that DH is going again!!!

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Glad to hear your husband decided to come along on the trip!

And good luck Sunday with the house!

Oh no! It stinks that you only had 5 minutes! And then they didn't even buy it! I have a feeling we're in for a whole bunch of that.

With us, it's going to be the dogs that are the problem. Whenever we have showings, we're going to have to get them out ASAP!

YAY!!! You DH is going to Disney still! I am glad that is working out for you. Good luck on Sunday and getting the house ready!

Yay! I'm am so excited!

Thank you!

I am so glad that DH is going again!!!

Me too! Yay!

Glad to hear your husband decided to come along on the trip!

And good luck Sunday with the house!

Me too!

Thank you!
