The Business Trip

Thanks to my friend C for reminding me of how much this topic desperately needs to be discussed.  Let’s break it down: BK–I LOVED The Business Trip.  Bye-bye, hubby–bring on the girlie movies, plain white rice every single night of the week, and I’m good to go.  See you next weekend.  AK–shoot me, shoot me now.  Seriously, SO was not ever meant to be one of those super-amazing single moms.  Apparently am lacking quintessential endorphins required to do such a job, not to mention significant stamina and and energy.  So when Business Trip Time now rolls around, definitely more than a few panicked nights prior to hubby’s departure locked in my bathroom, crying in Fear of the Anticipated.  Somehow (read: significant amount of potent self-medication), we make it through.  But I don’t like these business trip things, basically am super-envious of my husband and his in-room movies and his freedom to sleep through the night.  So I now understand my facilitating his business trips to be an Act of Love on my behalf–perhaps an overly self-sacrificial view, but thinking Wife of the Year award coming through??
