That's how I have been feeling for the past 2 days. Well since I got the call from the new company I will be working for. Here's the deal, I will NEED to get some training in Manila, (a good 5 hours away from where I live) and I will probably have to be there for a month. A whole month. Hotel accommodations will be paid for BUT I will not survive 5 whole days without seeing my husband and kids (because I can go home on weekends). I may be jumping to conclusions or stressing myself out over nothing because I have not expressed my need to bring my family with me yet. Which I plan to do.
But seriously, I really cannot leave my family for that long a time. It will not be good for them and for me. I need to be able to be with them so that I do not get dysfunctional. Really. I am that way. 2 or 3 days is fine, but 5 days for four weeks? No way. I am going to go crazy! I have been thinking about this and have been praying that things be ironed out and will end up for the good of everyone.
Change and adjustment is really something we all have to deal with. But sacrificing too much, like family, should not be put on the line.
So here's to praying for the best and keeping the faith that things will work out just fine. Here's to hoping that knot disappears soon. I dislike this feeling. Very Much.

Will be hoping things work out so you arent missing those cute babies!
Louann, I love the new site. Wow. Five days will be hard. But, I will just say what people older than me would say to me -- enjoy yourself. Enjoy this time, and your family will be there when you get back.
My only recommendation would be to be careful in how (and if) you choose to communicate this with your employer.
If possible, you might want to consider just bringing your family with you and having them stay in your hotel room without ever mentioning it ...
I'll be hoping for the best for you!
