[quote=Anonymous]My husband doesn’t travel often, but when he does it’s for a couple of months at a time (every other year on average).  When he is gone I take steps to get the kids & I into a good routine.  In addition to work & school (all grade school aged now), we have activities scheduled for each weekend that we wouldn’t normally schedule.  For example, Friday we are going to the Valentine’s dance at the community center.  I schedule all of their annual appointments (dentist, eye doctor, check up, and vet) so that we get those out of the way.  I also try to make a lot of dinners in one setting so that I’m not actively cooking each night.   We Skype with my husband a couple of times a week and talk on the phone every day.

He does feel bad on missing out on activities and tries to keep his trips down to the non-busy times of the year (not summer or holidays).  When he gets home we have more down time.  He will take the kids out so I can have some time alone.  I schedule all of my hair appointments before or after his trips.  It’s not easy or fun, but he has a great career and we are making it work.
