Finding a hobby could help, such as those suggested here...sewing, woodworking, cooking, working outside...anything that you like. Go to your local library and look through all the subjects that you like, seeing if there are new books to read. The internet could help, especially if you look at sites that interest you, such as hobbies instead of chat rooms. I would be very careful about doing that as with you lonely it makes you a prime target for men wanting to console you.
You definitely need to set up regular times to talk with him on the phone at night when you miss him the most, hearing his voice will help you more than your own interests. I'd send him letters and small homemade gifts that make him remember you...leaving you fresh in his mind.
I'd also talk to your girlfriends and set up some fun things to do to occupy your new found free time, perhaps you can work it out so your children can be watched so you can get together on the weekends.

take the time away from hubby to create 'you' time, you obviously like browsing the internet, why not do a course in something you really enjoy, you say you are reading a book, maybe creative writing, open university have some great courses. failing that, join a vibrant forum, somewhere that you can go just for general chit-chat, i am a member of forums and its a great way to while away the hours.
have fun having the whole bed to yourself, no snoring, no piles of washing on the floor ;-) enjoy your time away from him as much as you can, the first week is always hard, but it gets easier, and just imagine the welcome home you can give him when he does return, you can be a relaxed, stress free you, possibly with a new qualification under your belt or a bunch of new friends that you make on forums!

I spent many a day and nights alone its not easy but you can have friends over start new projects at home in your yard if you have one and the days will pass by quickly, you will be OK your kids will keep you occupied, because you will be busy looking after them don't fret and when you get real bored you can join us here on yahoo answers cause some of us never sleep..

The pain will ease with a little time and it won't seem as bad in a few days. But may I suggest that if you have cell phones with free minutes, or just regular phone, that your husband call you, especially after 8 p.m. when the kids are in bed, and have telephone contact every night. Hearing his voice will help immensely and you will stay connected to him while he is gone. I know, because my husband works nights and he calls several times every night and we chat and it does make it better. Cheer up!

Sending him emails, or write letters, keeping him abreast on what's going on at home. Is there something he wanted to do like organize the garage, paint a room,etc. That would be a nice surprise for him. Depending on if he'll be home in between times like the weekends,
Just keep him secure in knowing your doing OK and he'll have you waiting for him when he gets home

Call each other every night before going to bed and talk romantically to each other and maybe even try phone sex with each other as this may help... Sleep with his picture next to you... watch tv or read a good book before going to sleep. Why can you not go where he went to work? Maybe you can take up a new hobby like scrapbooking knitting or crocheting or something like that... Hope this helps some.

Hiya, why not start to make cards Birthday/Christmas/ any type of cards. Also you could start scrapbooking, make a journal of your childrens lives from birth-present time and add bit's each year, my friend did this and presented it to her daughter when she got married it was lovely. Good Luck June will soon be here, and we have light nights to look forward to soon.

Join a book reading club, or a sports club/health club like aerobics, make up plans to redecorate or to re-vamp the garden, take up knitting/painting, write him letters, flower arranging. It must sound like an age but the time will fly past x
