International travel :(

I have been begging my husband for years to get his company to send him somewhere cool because I have always loved to travel. And finally he is getting sent to Oslo, I can't go. I don't think realistically I can handle a 20 hour trip, just a 2 hour flight is really painful for me. I will be starting new meds soon and most likely will feel like crap. The trip is in like two weeks.
So now I face the reality of taking care of three kids, 2 dogs, 1 with diabetes for a whole week by myself. While starting medication. I'm scared. But I don't want to hold my hubby back from an awesome opportunity.
I homeschool so I would literally have a whole week with no break.
I'm disappointed in my body and scared of a week without my biggest support.

I would agree with PeteZa on this, CN - find a way to get some help in there!! Call on any friends or family that you can actually count on to show up (sorry, big problem for some), or hire someone if needed to come in for at least a few days that week.

Personally, although a very hard choice, I think you made the right choice to stay home and do what you can to help your body right now. Heal now, and there's a chance at another trip later.

I am sure my mom will be able to help me out. I just get self conscious about the mess in my home but it's not so bad with my mom. I truly am excited for hubby. And he told me he will whisk me away wherever I want when I'm better.

I feel the same way about my house...


What a sweet hubby you have...

oslo is a wonderful place but you are making the choice you need to make. Ask sweet hubby to take notes and bring home brochures so you can plan a return trip some summer!
