Being a mommy first

For some time now I have been preparing myself for this upcoming Sunday. For the first time I will have to leave my girls - and my husband too. I have to go on a business trip - last one was before Ashley was born so I have been pretty lucky. I know it may sound completely neurotic but the thought of not putting my girls to sleep and listening for them is horrifying to me! I leave Sunday at noon and won't be back until Wednesday night. I know, I know - it's not that long. I have to go to Minden, NV - ??? yes it is in the middle of nowhere - if I have to go somewhere couldn't it be somewhere a little more exciting? My brave husband has decided to take off work for this adventure - I have all the faith in the world that he will do a wonderful job. It's just that being their mommy is always my first and most important priority and to be away from them is so unthinkable for me. The only time I have ever been away is when I went into the hospital to have Hailey. How do I explain to a 3 year old who can only comprehend "tomorrow" that I won't be picking her up or doing any of the "little things" that we do for 4 whole days??
I know this will be way harder for me then it will be for them!
