My DH's co said there was a job at a site in another state (about 4 hours away), double pay, bonuses into the retirement fund weekly. They'd put him up in a hotel and he'd be home weekends. Short or long term (like, he could do a month.)

I'm amazed... no wait, he's amazed, at how quickly I said, "you should do it!"

Years ago I would have said, "oh please don't go! I need you home every night!"

Plus, more $$$ for shoes.

drifting along dreaming about possible nights catching up on all the frock flicks and Masterpiece Theatre episodes he won't watch with me....
