poor Wendy: I can understand your feeling. Because I have a 10 year old daughter, my husband is working on daytime, so I have to work on 12 hour night shift in order to take care of her for winter, summer vacation and other school day off. Even I know it is not good for health. I trained my daughter how to deal with some emergency such as fire alarm, not anwser phone or door knocking before I came home. You have 16 and 12 years old kids, don't worry too much, they are big enough and they stay together, can help each other. Actually, you are lucky than me, I only have one daughter. So, try to tell them some tips for dealing with emergency, call them from work (not too frenquently) to make sure they are OK and give them some direction when they call you from home. Remember you must be calm down no matter what happen. Of course, you should let your DON know your situation, then he/she can understand your calling from work. Good Luck
