I think that family is more important than work, including a single mystery shop. Especially since you would be giving several days' notice. If this is an opportunity that you won't get again, I'd go. If it's a regular thing that your husband does and you can take advantage of another time, that might make a difference.
Life is too short, and nobody knows what the future will bring. Mystery shopping will always be there. Your husband (friends, kids, family--take your pick) may not be. Not trying to be morbid, but work is not the be-all and end-all of everything. We in this country seem to have skewed priorities, because it seems that many people put work first and family time second. In the last two or three years, I've lost (as in, they died) three dear friends that I hadn't seen in awhile because I was "too busy working." And now it's too late. I'm never going to make that mistake again, and if it meant getting booted from an MSC, so be it.
I'd at least contact the scheduler and see what he/she says....
I learn something new every day, but not everyday!
I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.
