For those of you who travel for work or even the spouses of those who travel for work, you know what the routine is the night before you leave.  Finish the laundry so that you can pack, review with your partner what is gonna happen while you're gone (aka what you'll be missing)and how we (the ones left behind) will handle everything (by ourselves).  The packing of the bags, your work stuff, and making sure that everything you have neatly tucked away for the convenience of your normal everyday life is not forgotten, including all chargers, deodorant, and power cords.  It can be chaos, unless you do it every week.  But is my husband the only one who sharpens his machete before a business trip???
