DH just called... - Not so happy news

MoonMama wrote: There has been talk at his work about someone having to go over to England and over see a project there or something for 2 weeks. We have been hoping and praying it wouldn't be him. Well they told him this morning he is who they picked to go. I knew they were going to too. He tried to get out of it but there know way he can. He leave's Monday. On the plus size he will get a nice bonus for going and they pay all of his expenses. But it just stinks! He's heart broken about having to leave Braedin and I for that long (we cannot go with him), and I'm heart broken that he will be gone and miss those weeks of Braedin's life. Plus I HATE being alone! This just stinks in so many ways. Sorry for venting on you all, I'm just so

mom2my2cuties replied: Sorry - it's hard, but you guys will make it Just call and e-mail lots

cameragirl21 replied: i'm so sorry, Ally.
is there no way that the two of you can come along? maybe use some of the bonus money he's getting to pay for your flight? B won't need his own seat so it would just be one seat to pay for.
idk, i'd love a free trip to England and a bonus to boot, maybe there is some way you can come along?

msoulz replied: Bummer, for sure - but with today's technologies, as pointed out before, email, phone calls, and IM's (with video?) will help the time not seem so long!!

MoonMama replied:
Thanks. I wish there was but the issue is his work has a very strick rule that family can't come on business trips. They used to pay the air fare for families to go along on trips lasting more then a week. But a few people slacked off and ruined it for all.

coasterqueen replied: Is it just for two weeks? Ok, "just" is not a good word. I know how you feel. DH had to go away for FEMA last year when Megan was 6 months old and was gone for 3 months. He came home days before Christmas. He missed LOTS of milestones of Megan's life and several holidays in there as well. It was sad and I was pretty depressed about it before he went and during the time he was gone. Now I look back on it, it wasn't that bad, the milestones he missed. We did a lot of recording video and emailing them to him, pictures emailed to him, phone calls, etc. We did what we had to do and survived. It was hard to deal with two small children, the holidays, the house/yard, and working full time but we managed. You will be able to too.

Calimama replied: Those 2 weeks will just fly by with an infant!

amynicole21 replied: Oh man, such a long trip! Hopefully it will go quickly though. I'm sorry.

lisar replied: Sorry hun. I am sure the 2 weeks will go by fast for you. I cant stand being alone either.

sparkys2boys replied: aww, that's to bad.. I hope that the two weeks fly bye as fast as can be

ZandersMama replied: That sucks! Hope the time flies. We are here when you need to vent

MoonMama replied:
Oh my gosh sweetie! You are one strong women and family! Be proud. That makes 2 weeks seem like nothing. Man I don't think I could handle 3 months. Thanks everyone

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I'm sorry, Ally. I hope the 2 weeks pass quickly

JadensMama05 replied: OMG, I'm so sorry!! I wouldn't be able to handle that.. You'll be okay. You've got all of us! Atleast it's not a month or something silly.

Boo&BugsMom replied: I know how you feel. Hubby went to Arizona for 4-5 days for work and I hated it. I don't like being alone either.

holley79 replied: Lots of emails. Trust me hun the two weeks will go by. He will miss a bit but not much. Look at the positive, 2 weeks beats being away from family for 2 months or 2 years.
