that I am lucky to be going to WDW at all. I will try to make my long story short. I suffer from a degenerative eye disease that took all the central vision in my left eye 11 years ago. (I was 35 at the time.) Recently, I started to lose the vison in my remaining eye. Luckily, there is now an experimental treatment for this condition and with some eye injections they have temporaily stopped the bleeding in the eye. However, we don't know how long it will last. The doctor said I could lose my vision tomorrow or several years from now. I have been wanting to go to WDW at Christmas for years. (I haven't been there at Christmas since 1982) My wonderful DH decided that we should just go for it this year because who knows what the future will bring.
So we are currently booked for 5 days at POR in Dec. I cannot let well enough alone however, and I just discovered for a negligible amount of additional money we could go for 7 days at POP instead of 5 at POR. I was so excited that I immediately e-mailed my husband the good news. He didn't think it was so great because if we do that he will have to work 2 days over the Christmas holidays. He would be off 5 days work 2 off 4 days. I thought that it was no big deal but obviously to him it is. Now I am bummed out and trying not to be. I was already planning what I could do with 2 extra days. I tried to tell him that for the money we couldn't even do dinner and a movie over the holidays but we could do 2 days in Disney with meals! I am trying hard not to feel resentful. He said I should be happy I was getting to go at all and I am. But there is also this part of me who resents the fact that I spent numerous Saturday's this year at car shows with him when I would much rather have been sitting home doing my own thing. In May, we spent big bucks and lots of vacation time to go on the "Bandit Run." ( a car cruise from TX to GA) We are supposed to do that again in May. (This time OH to GA) I had fun and it was great that he ended up on TV and in magazines but it wasn't WDW. So now I am trying very hard to just be grateful I am going and not pine for the extra two days. I figured if anyone would understand you guys would. I know my coworkers just don't get it. So come on and tell me what a lucky lady I am so I won't want to choke DH when I see him later. :thedolls:
