Starting to freak out about my upcoming trip

I have to go to San Diego for 5 days (will be gone for 6 because we're staying in a hotel closer to the airport the night before) and my anxiety level about leaving Maya is starting to skyrocket.  My trip is at the end of January and with the holidays and stuff it's going to sneak up on me really fast. 

My boss sent me a link to the amazing house we're staying in, talks about the great shopping we can do, and is taking us to some wine country she is a member of.  I get excited about those things for like 3 seconds then I'm instantly sad about being there.  I do want to enjoy my time there (sleeping well, not having to cook or clean, etc) but I'm scared of being miserable without her.  I'll miss DH too by the way :)

Moms who travel, can you give me any reassurance, or is it crappy when you go on trips too?

    It's definitely crappy at times, like when I first leave, or when DH and Mia call me at night and I just MISS them, or if Mia has a rough day/night without me. (Like one time, DH told me that she woke up in the middle of the night, cried out "Mama," and went back to sleep... ugggghhhhh.)

    But most of the time, I'm so busy with work that I don't have time to be miserable. And it's kinda fun to feel like my old pre-mom self for a little bit.

    I try to find one thing each day that makes me happy to be on the road -- even if it's something silly like the fact that I can expense my Starbucks coffee in the morning. And I always look forward to that first moment when I see Mia again Smile
