I freelance for my old company in NJ and they've been sending me a ton of work lately. I got an e-mail yesterday that they want to fly me to Dallas the beginning of March for an overnight trip to help out with a meeting. I'll be getting home the night before DD's birthday, but it will be low-key anyway so it's not like I'm pushing massive preparations on DH. I'm excited because:
1. It's one less day to spend with my annoying MIL and her mother, who bicker like the old ladies they are and spend their visit literally looking out the window of my kitchen 2. I can come in the same day my parents are coming 3. I can make over $1K just for covering this meeting, which is much needed these days 4. If it's where they had the last meeting of this kind, the food is AMAZING. I will gain 5 lb on the pecan pie alone
