Mom going on business trips

I'm a mom of a 3 year old girl. I have an excellent support system (great husband and mother-in-law), but still feel guilty when I have to go away on a business trip. The longest I've been away was for a week. Luckily this don't happen too often. When I'm away I miss them terribly. It feels like I left a part of me at home. If there are any moms out there that have ideas of making this easier, please let me know. I love my job and my family!

The first time I was away from my child was on a business trip several states away. The thing that got me through it was pictures of my daughter that I had...and my mother-in-law sent me a picture or two each day to let me know she was doing okay (usually morning and night). This provided me with the comfort that my baby was okay. To see her having a good time helped me to relax. Plus, nothing beats the smile you get when you come home and all your child wants is you. They realize you are gone and miss you too!
