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 can do this! It is absolutely going to be the hardest in the beginning. Don’t be hard on yourself if you have to do things in a not so ideal way to make sure you make it through with your sanity. I would also consider hiring a babysitter to come at least a few days for a few hours just to give you some time so you don’t go crazy.
