They have recently put me in a management position since our office manager left, and they do not intend on replacing her. I have assumed all her duties, am supervising a temp, and open/close every day. My husband says you should never go over your boss' head, but I feel that my boss has dropped the ball. Two weeks is too long to be notified if you received a raise or not. What should I do?

You are allowed to go over your managers head... The proper way is do it with letting your manager know what you are doing, phrased not as a threat.
For example;
"Mr. Smith I'm very concerned about not hearing anything about the raise we discussed. Who can you suggest I go to get an answer in the next day or two?"
Part of being part of management is handling hard situations well. Don't make your boss feel that he made a mistake. Handle this professionally and maturely. There's a hundred reason your boss has not contacted you. There's only one reason needed to prove to him that a mistake was made........

Check with your boss one more time. Perhaps there's a good reason why they haven't gotten back to you. Going straight over their head without finding out why they haven't gotten back to you will alienate your boss. You need them on your side right now.

Get a new job. Your manager obviously does not appreciate you enough to take care of the situation. And with the previous person leaving, I would say following suit is a good idea.

I would recommend going back to your boss.
Burning a bridge by going over his head might get you the increase, but damage your future possibilities.

No, no, no....talk to your boss first about it. I'm sure s/he's a busy person, and, well, obviously there're some things that're more important and has higher priorities.
