So why am I not HAPPY?

....off-topic, but can you say a prayer for my DS, who needs an emergency procedure done on his heart? If he doesn't get it done, it could be life-threatening.....

Prayers being said!!! Please keep up posted on how he is doing!!!

....he went for his physical a couple of weeks ago to try to become a NYC P.O. and FAILED HIS PHYSICAL!!! Upon further testing this arythmia was found - it can be quite serious - in fact, it is life-threatening:

Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome (WPW) is one of several disorders of the conduction system of the heart that are commonly referred to as pre-excitation syndromes. While the majority of individuals with WPW remain asymptomatic throughout their entire lives, there is a risk of sudden cardiac death associated with the syndrome...

...well, it's all but official....I simply cannot justify spending one thin dime on a Disney vacay when I can barely make ends meet....this has really been a tough year financially.....thank goodness I am finally getting a paycheck again, but it's gonna take a while to catch up.....


....but more important than a siilly Disney vacay is that my DS is on the mend and he's feeling ALOT better! Can't put a price on good health.....

 

[usnuzuloose]

Kim, your son is more important! Disney will always be there. You would rather go when your finances are better. You can add to your money while your at it. I am glad your son is better!

....I've dealt with disappointment all my life, but I'm a big girl - I can handle it....besides, I know there's always tomorrow....actually, I've kinda made up my mind, and haven't really even discussed it with my DH, but I think he really is doing it for me anyway....

Health is definitely more important than anything else!


Sorry you won't make a Disney vacay this year.....but there is always early October in 2013.


Thanks for letting us know.

....we've been to WDW during different times of the year, but never in April....I'd kinda like to go then, since my brother and his family will be going too....

Flower and Garden is lovely. It is a very good time to go.

.....soooo, my DH has made mention [several times now] that he would like to go to WDW for the Christmas Holidays. Great, right? And, for my birthday last Sunday, he included in the card a Disney gift card for, let's just say, 'quite a substantial amount'....Mind you, I still have a Disney gift card for $150 from last year's Mother's Day. And, he has almost another 500 points on his Disney Visa which will eventually be transferred to his Rewards card. I also have about $140 (give or take) on mine, so you're talking more than $1,000 to go towards our vacay.

Our last WDW visit was 2 summers ago (Aug 2010), in which we stayed with friends at their timeshare (off-site) and before that was Dec 2007, at which time we stayed at the Dolphin, with the teachers' discount. My point is, the last time we actually stayed at a Disney resort was quite a while ago....anyhoo, I researched to see if I could come up with room codes or any package deals. Trouble is, between airfare (we'd be flying from the NYC area)and what it's gonna cost for 3 of us, it'll still be a small fortune! I'm afraid this is going to leave a bad taste in my DH's mouth and he'll be likely to change his mind about going. Anyone who knows of his antics, fully know of what I am speaking.....I wanna get all psyched about this possible trip - I mean, after all, the planning is HALF THE FUN of a WDW vacay! I'm already a 'Debbie Downer' before I've even called CRO or done one single thing.....

....I just had a revelation - I suddenly realized why I WASN'T happy about my DH's decision to want to go to WDW for Christmas....I really knew deep-down that financially it just didn't make sense to go, even with the Disney Rewards points and the gift cards....

You would have allot of pictures for us that have never been at that time of the year.

...true, true...

You just know when the time is right for something and when it is not. It has taken us a long time to be finacially stable to start doing things. I know at some point I need to go back to work, but it isn't time yet.

You need to do what's right. I remember when Fran and I were desperate to get our properties rented and we took tenants we probably didn't want. Luckily things have improved so that we can right the situation and I hope your situation improves too. But the bottom line is that you need to do what's right for you and what you know is right. We didn't and it might end up costing us a bit to fix that.

It's good you figured out what was going on with you and your DH and financial situation. Hopefully you will save up for a WDW trip and be able to take it without regrets!

Always trust that deep down feeling in your stomach.....especially now your avatar has 4 of them.

That was a low blow!
