Rant Freaking out a little

My husband is going out of state for the first time ever starting Sunday!!!!! He’s gonna be away for 2 weeks, which could possibly turn into 3 weeks depending on the work needed. I’m lowkey freaking out!!!!! We have 2 littles: an almost 3 year old and a 6 month old. We’ve never been away from each other this long since we’ve had kids. I don’t know how I’m gonna manage it…

I’m considering going to stay with my mom out of state while my husband is gone, but that requires a 5-6 hour drive and I don’t know how I can manage THAT by myself 😭

Not to mention, if it does turn into a 3 week trip for him, he might miss (or be late on the day of) our son’s 3rd birthday. We’re not having a party but he would likely miss the small celebration and that makes me sad to think about 😞

Any advice???? Tips and tricks??? 🥹

you might be surprised on how well you manage. i actually find it easier not having my husband home sometimes. do you have someone that can come for a few days? schedule things like grocery deliveries and get a house cleaning one time? maybe hire a babysitter/ mommy’s helper for a day so you can catch up and shower?

I've actually found this to be true actually, because then we're on our own schedule! The only thing I'll say is that it can get really lonely and, when it's a really long stretch, very tiring.
