Visiting the Land of Single Mothers

So Shakes has gotten the official report on his trip to Korea. He leaves friday AM and will be gone three whole weeks. *insert picture of me crying*
Shakes  gives the nitty gritty details in His Blog.
There is a factory hub in Korea that he will be going to train some production artists on how to do things the Nike way. Just like his trip to Amsterdam back in November, this is a huge privilege for him. Im happy that his bosses think so highly of him, and I hope that they will reflect the love (if you know what I mean) come review time in June.
The next three weeks are going to be hard. He misses Dylan's 3rd birthday (the 24th) Our anniversary (March 11th-8 years) and Kate's 5th birthday (March 14th.) Luckily Dylan has no idea of dates, and Shakes gets home the day after Kate's so we will be able to smudge it with out damaging her. ;)
At least I will be able to get a bunch of video game time in since I wont be sharing the TV in the evenings (hey, Im looking for the silver lining ok!)
My mother in law, will be coming out from March 6-12th, so at least I will have some help that last week when I know I will want to go praying mantis on my children.
If someone would have told us a year ago that He would be going to both Europe and Asia in the next year we both would have died laughing.
Is this when I say "There is no way in the next year that Kyle and I will be going to Australia." and hope that it works? lol
