I miss my boys terribly every day. I just got back from a business trip and that is even worse!! I call the sitter everyday to check on "the kids". She says alot of her clients do but it doesn't make me feel any less silly!! I also think about the "what if's". I dread if there's a fire or earthquake. When we had the "big one" in 89 here I walked 14 miles home to find both my guys huddled under the kitchen table with all kitchen cabinets emptied to the floor and all book cases dumped and leaning against the kitchen table. I can still feel the relief that they hadn't been hurt or gotten out of the house. I've been thinking of chipping them ever since. I just have to trust they are smart enough to stick to the house I guess.
