Hey Mark, You have the right attitude. The best advice I can give is STAY BUSY! GAL like there's no tomorrow! And when she comes back, let your attitude be something like "Wow, I've had a great week - busy, fun, exciting, and of course I took terrific care of the kids. Oh, yeah, hope your trip was OK - gosh, I hardly even noticed you were gone!" ;\)
