TDYs and Jet lag

Whenever I leave my family for more than a few days I go through an emotional roller-coaster:

D-Day - Lots of hugs and kisses from the hubby and the kids. We're all going to miss each other sooooo much. 

Day 1 - Enjoying the peace and quiet. The only person who has to like the dinner I choose is me - and I don't have to cook it.  I could get used to this. 

Day 2 - The alone time is still nice.  It's kinda boring to eat alone, but a good book and a shopping trip helps out a lot. 

Day 3 - I'm thinking, who cares about peace and quiet, I really don't like to sleep alone.  My bed is much more comfortable. Shopping for the kids helps me feel connected. 

Day 4 - I'm on the phone with the Mr.  It sounds like everything is under control.  I'm glad, but then sad - do they even need me?

Day 5 - I REALLY miss them.  So, they get an extra souvenir.   Gotta take some treats home to regain their loyalty.  Took a late flight home, so they're all sleeping like precious angels. 

Day 6 - My house is a circus, the twins are arguing non-stop.  My son has the worst attitude about everything and I want to lock him in his room- forever.  My daughter is hungry, but nothing in the house suits her palate.  My husband is at work and he's laughing through the phone saying it'll take a few days to rebuild my tolerance.  I'll call it jet lag.
