Dear Village Idiot,

I would like to respond to village idiot's comments made to my previous post:

WHAT IS THE LONGIST YOU HAVE BEEN APART?
The longest we have been apart was 2 almost 3 weeks... it was when my father was having a stem cell transplant that went very wrong. He was in and out of ICU and isolation and I lived with him as one of his primary caregivers in the hospital.
BEFORE & AFTER THE CHILDERN CAME?
The above was after Max was born. Max was 18 months old.
HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU OR HE BEEN AWAY FROM EACH OTHER?
Not very often.
THINK HOW HE MAY FEEL?
He is not happy about this either. He knows that this is going to be difficult but we also know that this will benefit us in the long run when it concerns his work.

My husband is very very supportive and attentive when it comes to me and my children. I love him to death! My angst concerning his upcoming trip is not towards him... it is towards myself. I am not the most patient person in the world and I have managed to program myself with a system that includes him saving me at the end of the day. I now know that this system has it's faults and I am going to be forced to revamp this system very quickly or else I am going to lose my mind!
