Thanks for the input today. Leaving work late due to a meeting that ran longer than intended, so am thinking of driving down and back tomorrow, possibly staying overnight tomorrow night.

Cheers, K

I say stay home and get the chair too You can always go to another one later.

If you need the time away go for it. Your husband can still go to the game. Since you work and planned for this week end I would go two days and one evening, make some new friends, learn some hints from others and feel like a new person when you get home. As mothers we always think of others, this is your week end you had planned, Go Girl, enjoy!!

I am often guilty of putting the rest of the family ahead of me.

After getting delayed at work, the idea of driving 3 hours, especially in the dark was totally unappealing, and not so much for early morning either.

We went out for a nice dinner and I floated the idea of buying a nice chair versus going, which surprised DH, and I think pleased him that I'll be around.

He and Gus will head to the movies after hockey tomorrow night so that I can have some time alone to work on projects uninterrupted. So a happy compromise.

I do have three scrapbook/craft retreats coming up in the spring to look forward to.

I finally have my decision and I'm happy with it. Hopefully next year I'll be able to take Friday off instead of trying to leave work early.

Cheers, K

Gramajo - Thanks for the push! Made me laugh out loud. Would love to have had you nearby to pack and shove me out the door.
