We are going to a wedding this weekend, staying overnight because it is a 2 hr . drive. It will be costing us about $400 to attend. My husband and I are so exhausted from being on the go for the last 6 weekends that we just want one weekend to ourselves.
On top of that, we are selling our house and buying a new one in 3 weeks, have a new baby arriving in 4 weeks and school starting back up the week after. We have to do some improvements per buyers request that was not budgeted for. So we could use the escape, but on the other hand I feel like we could just let the kids still stay with my mother and send a check to the bride and groom.
What would you do??? I feel so bad since I was looking forward to going but with the other expenses coming up I don't know what to do.

that is what I was thinking Michelle...nice to break away for a bit. It is a friend of the family that we have not seen in a long time. Actually, I ran into the groom at work last week and met the bride for the first time. I know we will have fun, but then there is all that money for just one night when it could go towards so many other things right now. I don't know what to do...dh is leaning towards not going. Then the bride in me would be pissed if it was me, but would understand.

and to boot I have been having lots of BH contractions and it is making me nervous.
