How To Tell The Kids

[A_goodman]

Dan,

God's speed my friend. Hopefully you don't even see this for a week, but I agree with whoever said that the detailed messages from your W are good. Especially anything concerning the kids. if it helps, compartmentalize. Think of her as your babysitter while you don't have them. Then the detailed after-action report will be an expected and valuable tool.

Not saying anything new, but the kids will go through some periods of adjustment. Any info at all might be important for both of you right now.

As far as the "here's how my day went" messages, well, now you can just dump them. It's a win-win. She get's to blow off a little steam, and you don't have to listen to it.

Try a Triple Carmeliet (sp?) while your over there. It's a blockbuster.

Have fun buddy.
