forgot to answer this part. I put on a happy-happy face when they are leaving, give tons of hugs and kisses, tell them they can call me whenever they want, talk about all the fun they will have, and that I can't wait to see them when they come home and such. I think because of this, and because they love their daddy, they are okay so far. they get a little sad, tell me they will miss me and such, but they are also excited because the miss daddy. I think they also pick up on me not being distraught...I think if I showed what I was really feeling, then yeah, it would be harder. I wait for them to leave to have a good cry.
