Lynn is going to Paris on Wednesday for a business trip and I am already starting to feel anxious. I get this way every time he travels - not because I get scared being home alone, I don't, but because I get homesick without him and I worry about him the entire time.
A few weeks ago there was a news story on MSN home page about a plane that crashed in Spain. It had been taking off to go to one of the Canary Islands. Lynn took this same trip earlier this year. All the while that he is gone I worry that I will turn on the TV or the computer and see something similar to the crash from a few weeks ago. Either it will be a plane crash, or a terrorist attack, or a natural disaster; I get so anxious that I then miss him very, very much while he is away, and I can barely handle being alone until he gets home safe and sound.
This trip is only 8 days, so it's not as long as others, but I still hate it when he's gone. I will try to stay busy with things to do, and hopefully the week will go by quickly.

Okay, first of all, I didn't know you had a blog :) I am glad you posted a comment on mine. Too bad you can't go with him on these business trips to foreign countries. That would be so wonderful. Try not to worry too much. Worrying won't change anything if something is going to happen. I am sure he will return safely though.
I know it doesn't do any good to worry. I have to work on that. There's this thing inside me that would feel guilty if anything ever did happen and I hadn't been worrying. I've got issues.
Matt goes on a trip in January. I don't like it either. Its the same feeling of homesickness. If you need to hang out...WE CAN!
It's nice to know that I'm loved...I love you too, honey.
I had no idea that you even had a blog! How come you never told me?! But I am glad that you do, it is a fun way to get to know people better! You are welcome to check mine out anytime, and I am guessing that since my name is on your blogroll that you already do! Hooray for more blogging friends!
love the blog - welcome to the blogging world! My Mom is in Europe right now, and I admit, I do the same worrying. She went without my Dad, so I worry about how he's doing, too! If you need someone to hang out with, or go on a walk - call me or come by!
I echo everyone else...welcome to the blogging world! I am so glad you joined :)
I know exactly how you feel about loved ones on planes! I HATE IT! I have such anxiety when a family member has to travel. Good luck this week and remember to stay busy!
Look at all these 'fans' you have already.
We'll have to do some playing while Lynn is gone.
