So your husband is going away on a business trip. It's bittersweet right? He will be gone leaving you with the kids but at the same time you are silently sighing in relief for one less person to take care of for a day or two. You know that you don't have to cook because the kids are okay with pizza or chicken nuggets. And once they are off to bed what will you do with all that time? Catch up on your favorite BBC drama episodes? Watch that chick flick you've been wanting to see? Eat chocolate while enjoying a magazine or book? Or my personal favorite, doing something crafty? The greatest stress in the process is getting your hubby out the door with everything he needs to survive a few days without you around. Because lets face it, they are spoiled and don't know what do without a wife's daily wisdom (unless your married to a back woods survivalist kind of guy).
So after years of sending my husband out the door packed and ready to go, I have now learned a few things. List are great helps when trying to remember what he needs. So I comprised a packing list with extra spaces to add things you might think of. Feel free to print it out and use it when packing for your husbands trip. It may help take a little of the stress out of the life when your husband travels.
I'd love to hear what you do with your extra time as well as any work trip packing wife "fails", like forgotten underwear or socks. Please leave your comments below!
