My husband has been traveling for work for many years , and is gone most of the week. Although by now I’m used to it, the beginning felt the way you’re describing, I also had little
Kids , pregnant etc , but I just got used to doing errands with them after school and work, went to pizza, picnics at the park etc. I was very into being out of the house. On Sundays and longer nights in the summer we would hang with friends or family, neighbors. In the winter there was a lot of iPad watching which I am not proud of, but was needed at that time. Some years were harder than others.
You’re a nice wife that you’re so understanding of him being gone for an entire week, I know alot of people that make a really big deal when their husbands leave . It’ll be nice for him and exciting for your relationship when he gets back. What are you doing for Shabbos ? Good luck !

Thank you!! Give yourself a massive pat on the back for everything you do all the time while your husband's away.

We're going away for Shabbos.

So I hope I'm all ready. I have two new toys waiting (a dr set and some more pieces of a building toy). I also signed him up for a library program, thanks for the idea upthread!! Feeling hopeful that the week will work out iyh. Definitely following everyone's advice to put things off for after my husband comes back.
