Description: My husband works out of town and is gone 3 to 5 days and nights a week.I am a stay at home mom and am great with the kids until the last 2 days, then everything goes haywire. The kids act out because they miss their dad. I never get a moment of peace and I am so tired that by the time the kids are finally in bed, I pass out on the couch. During the last few days, I am not as firm and structured as normal. The kids pcik up on this and take full advantage. Anyone have any ideas that will help me cope and recharge my batteries with a 4, a 5 and a 7 year old during the last few days? Other wise, I may just loose my sanity!!!
