Well, we waved him off about an hour ago  . I think it was one of the hardest things I've ever done, and it's really tough to walk into the house and prepare kids lunches and cope with tantrums like nothing is different. The little one's don't understand and keep saying "dada? dadda gone?" and I just keep saying "yes, dadda's gone but he will be back in a couple of months". Sorry guys. I just don't feel up to posting replies atm, but might hop on tonight when the kids have gone to bed. Hopefully I'll be feeling a little less devastated by then. I need hugs please? This has been a really bad day.

Amy,
It must have been hard to see him go. Don't feel at all bad about wondering how you'll cope with the kids alone. All of us here with multiple kids would be feeling the same thing. Three small children can be a supreme challenge to even the healthiest of people, but as we know ibs adds yet another challenge. When I have to be alone with the kids or travel alone with them I eat super safe. Even if that means surviving on the same two or three things every day. It is bland, but gives me some peace of mind anyway. I hope that you can get some help from relatives during these weeks. My guess is that you will find strength you didn't even know you had and you'll find a way to make it work.
I'll be thinking of you and hugs!!!

** loads of hugs **
I'm so sorry, I know you knew it was coming but that doesn't make it any easier.
I'm sure after the first few days the time will start to go by a lot faster than you thought it would, try and keep yourself busy for the next little while and be extra careful so your tummy stays happy if things get more stressful.
We'll be here for you, for whatever support we can offer.
**more hugs**

I'm SO sick of crying. I kinda wish I could have a big bawl and let it all out and feel better but I just keep having these little cries and they're getting annoying! My tummy is so twisted and in so much pain right now. I keep trying to eat but I just feel sick the minute I put food anywhere near my mouth. I know it'll get easier in the next couple of days but right now it just feels like the end of my world.
Ashley, he's going away for 6 weeks (well 45 days to be exact), right, deep breath, 1 down (almost) 44 to go. It just seems like such an endless amount of time right now.
Thank you all for all the hugs! Makes me feel a bit better to know people are caring and understanding. Hugs back to you all

HUGS!
I'm sure the time will fly.
Padhraig was away before for three and a half months and we got through it. It was hard and even speaking on the phone was hard as I was in college in Ireland and he was working in Dublin. It made us so much stronger as a couple though.
You know where we are if you need us.

I have enough friends who have been there, I know nothing will help except to give you a hug! if I was there I'd offer to entertain the kids if you wanted, but I'm not.

Hang in there. You'll fall into a rhythm with the kids and you'll get used to it (sad, though it is). Be sure to ask for some help. Ship the kids off to Grandma's or a friends or something to give yourself a break here and there, OK? You need to take care of yourself, too. I remember the days when hubby was gone sun aft to friday late evening. It was not fun. I can sympathize with your heartache. Hang in there. Be strong for your kids.
