My husband, Jason, and I had finally found a weekend without work, errands, or obligations. Our plan was simple: order takeout, watch movies, and spend time with our two children.
At eight that morning, my phone rang.
It was my mother-in-law.
« I’ve got wonderful news! » she announced cheerfully.
« I’ve invited everyone over today. »
I frowned.
« Everyone? »
« The family. »
