Pardon me, but I just want to celebrate! LOL I'm hoping my DH will chillax & come back around. I think it's a waste of time to worry "what if" ... because you just can't control everything. We might as well enjoy a very hard earned (debt-free!) vacation with our kids that we don't spend nearly enough time with. Our schedule is crazy! I have a jr. high schedule, elementary, and preschool schedule to manage. Half the time, yes, I am the mom-taxi. I want our kids to have this memory, dagnabit.
The good news is, I bet he will come around. Even if he makes you flip-flop back and forth for a while, I really do think he will come around. He sounds a lot like my DH.

We are about 4 days away from our trip right now, and suddenly my DH has all sorts of input and ideas he never had before this point! He's finally getting excited and not worrying about $$ as much as he was before.
