on my way to CA

So I'm taking three entire days off of work (and probably 30 extra minutes the day before) because my mommy offered to fly me and Hubby out to CA to visit. Certain people aren't supposed to find out until said time, but Papi is supposed to be in by this Friday (kiddos don't know) and then brother, hubby and myself are being flown out to visit (kiddos and dad don't know). Sure, it doesn't make logical sense to take the time off of work when I know it means I'll just have to take more unpaid time off later...but how can I help it? I haven't seen my Papi for a year and a half and haven't seen my mom and younger siblings for a half a year and only saw my older brother for a few hours in this last half-year... Plus, I want them to see me starting to look fatter. Ooh, I hope we play Cranium.
