So, I have some pretty craptastic news to share with my DIS friends.

DH got laid off on Tuesday.

We talked a lot about what to do with the trip. Do we cancel? Do we go? We decided that we would lose too much money if we canceled so we are going to go. While I am excited about this, I am mega depressed that I had to change a few things.

First, no 2 TS meals so that we can stretch the dining plan.

Second, and this REALLY bums me out big time........NO CRUISE and NO CAKE!!!!!!!!!! I just cannot justify spending the money right now.

So, I am in a deep Disney depression right now. I know that I should be happy but I have been fortunate all these nears to not have to do Disney on a budget....until now.

I guess I should be happy that we are still able to go. I'm having quite the difficult time getting back into my planning so to speak. I guess I am just worried about the unknown right now.

On bright note...DH applied for a few jobs today and has had a response from one of them already. I am crossing my fingers.

I will finish my May TR this weekend and then try and get back into my planning for this PTR.

I feel like a stick in the mud right now.

Oh Sophia, how horrible! Sadly it's so common nowadays, but fingers crossed he will find something soon!

I know it's a shame to think you need to cut back, but you've still got a lot of really lovely meals and days planned. And you can still have a blast at WDW on a budget - our first onsite holiday in 2006 was on a budget, and we had a great time!

Sending good thoughts!!!

Thanks Di. We did get to keep all but 2 ADR's.

Good news though.......Joe has an interview ALREADY! He has been out of work since Tuesday and he has an interview already. I am crossing my fingers.

 

[Dr_Finkelstein]

Fingers crossed for Joe!

That is great, I wish it was that easy for me to get an interview!

Thanks Di. We're hoping that he goes back to work soon.

The job is around an hour a way but we figure it's better than not working. Keep trying...I am sure you will find something.

I have gotten over DH"s layoff and realized that we're lucky that we can keep our trip and that we don't have to cancel. We're going to keep the photo shoot as well since I alreaedy pre-paid for the photopass CD.

There are two ADR's that for right now, we don't think that we will keep. They are CRT and HDDMR. They each take 2 credits and we figured we could stretch the dining plan further if we didn't do them. I am bummed though because one is for John's birthday and we really wanted to celebrate with Jenn, John and the kids. I am hoping that our situation changes and that we will be able to keep them.

I am really, really hoping that I can keep the Wishes cruise surprise for our anniversary. If DH goes back to work, it is a go. I have to check the cancellation policy to see how long I have to cancel. I think it's two days but I will know for sure before we even leave.

I may work on our shirts this weekend. I have everything to do them and it's just a matter of dragging the stuff out and getting it done. I need a bit of motivation!

I'd rather see you keep your cruise than do dinners! I am sad you can't make john's dinner, but we will be ok, and HDDMR is going to be his bday dinner from now on, so at some point you will be able to make it!

I am crossing my fingers that we don't have to cancel any of it. Joe's got some prospects for work so it's looking good. I just don't want to get to excited about it.

Can't wait for 2010!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

My mom and I got together today and made the first batch of our shirts. We have to get more though because there are a couple more shirts that we want to make.

One piece of advice.......the dark transfers are AWFUL to deal with. NEVER again. We had to finally get Joe to help us.

So, what do you think? I got most of these from the DISign thread and tweaked some of them myself.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Before I forget....... Beka asked me about the sweatshirt that I got in May. I LOVE this thing. Sorry about the craptastic picture but you get the drift.........

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

So my one cat just came home from surgery when I took this. I thought that the other cat was so cute .... he was being a nice big brother...

 

[Beka]

Cute sweatshirt!

I have to know how you convinced your DH to paint your room red & yellow & decorate in Disney. Or did you just do it without asking?

 

[inkedupmomma]

Kayla is gonna crap a brick when she sees the pic of your cats! So so soooo cute! Great shirts too! I think I want to make the stick people shirts too! Wearing white will be totally new for me though

 

[Dr_Finkelstein]

*cough cough* Notice anything different about me today????

 

[wdwgirl03]

Cute shirts! I love the last one and the sweatshirt is awesome too. I almost bought the same one but ended up just going for the t-shirt.

And is that a DISNEY ROOM?! If it is, could you post more pictures?

It's our office and actually he didn't give me too much hassle. One thing though...it is the ONLY room in the house that I can Disney-fy.

These are two of the four. The orange one had the surgery. The black shirts were a pain in the a**. OMG, never again. As much as I want to do colored shirts...no fricken way after that experience! Either that or I will wait til I have more patience.

*cough cough* Notice anything different about me today????

YAY!!!!!!!!! YOU BOOKED ANOTHER TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo for DI!!!!!!!!

Thanks! I wanted that sweatshirt so freaking bad last year! We found it once. I did not get it and we never saw it again. Needless to say I got it!

Yes, it is a Disney room. Three red walls, one yellow, white ceiling and black accents. Sounds awful when you describe it that way but I will try and take and post some pics for you. Walls are covered with either pics from Disney, Happiest Celebration Certificates or Disney Lithos. Once I get my junk in order, I will take and post pics.
