I'm sooo frustrated! I had planned a quick trip to the world during the Food & Wine Festival early in November. Apparently no small thing to get the room as I see many posts on the board complaining that they can't get BWV in November.
Anyway, fourth quarter of the year is real tough on our family work-wise. Hubby teaches tax seminars to accountants fourth quarter and it is grueling. He teaches in Missouri for 6 days - which means teach from 8 am to 5 pm, pack up and drive anywhere from 1 to 3 hours to another town and do it again. About 3 days home, then it starts again in Oklahoma - Mon & Tues out, home Tues nite for laundry, out Wed evening to another town for Thurs & Friday seminar. For 10 weeks! He doesn't teach those full days, about half, but it's still a killer schedule. It's my busy season, also, so we barely see each other.
When we coordinated calendars, I realized that for this year there was actually a week between the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next. I knew the break would be great, so I hit the phone and booked 3 days at Epcot. We've wanted to go to the Food & Wine Fest ever since it began, but the timing has always been wrong because of his schedule. Oh boy, Food & Wine fest, hubby and me ALONE(DS away at college next fall)and a well-deserved break. Wow, practically a 2nd honeymoon!
So, of course one of the organizations has called and says they just HAVE to move the seminar schedule by a week! I am so bummed! If they insist of course he has to change it, but I did suggest he tell them that things were NOT happy at home over it!! Rats, rats, RATS!!!
