Gotta Keep Trying 2

[Hope4us]

GIMA, Am I going to have to come to Disney a few weeks early and kick your azz?

She's moving towards you, but how many times do you need to hear PATIENCE, PATIENCE AND MORE PATIENCE before you get it?

Ok. 2x4 over.

You did claim the martial bed. She's not ready yet. Let it go, have a great time. While you're there, do everything fun you can, with our without her. When my W and I were in about the same place as you, we went to Disney. We went down for 10 nights and the 4th night in Tropical Storm Fay showed up and planted herself right over central Florida for a week. So, that threw a wrench in a Disney trip. W didn't want to go to the parks in the rain so the kids and I WENT WITHOUT HER. And within an hour of us leaving she was TMing us like crazy asking what we were doing etc. And when we'd come back to the room we'd share with her the great time we had that day and all she'd missed and ya know what? It only took a couple of those days of us going without her before she was buying a raincoat and going with us.

Was there a wonderful turn around in her that trip? Uh...no. One day later in the trip we were having a great time at Epcot and I leaned in to give her a kiss and she turned her head and walked away. My mistake, she wasn't ready yet. So did I get pissed? Inside, yes, outside, didn't let it show. Went on having a great time with the kids and when she wanted to join in, we welcomed her.

This crap takes a long time. And every day longer she's with you and the kids and bringing you tea and asking about a brief you're writing and enjoying time with you is a step TOWARDS you.

So she isn't sleeping in that giant king sized bed (I love how huge they are in DVC 1 BR's). Enjoy it. You've got this whole huge bed to enjoy, plus you have that awesome jacuzzi tub right next to your bed. I'd suggest using it one night after you all go to bed. It'll kill her that you're enjoying yourself while she's out sleeping on that uncomfortable hide a bed in the living room. And if she mentions hearing you in the tub the next morning, say "yeah, it was a great way to loosen up the muscles after a long day at the park. You should try it" and leave it at that.

What you're doing is working GIMA.

Sorry for being a little rough, but it's only because I see so much of my sitch in yours and I don't want you to blow it in the 4th quarter.

H4U.
