My husband works 70 miles away. He works 3 12 hour shifts and then he has 4 days off ... We usually go down with him and stay at his parents house for the 3 days he works, but this time I wanted to stay home. I like his parents but no I don't want to stay there 3 days out of the week! Anyway he hasnt even bothered to call me to see how were doing( me and our 3 yr old) I'm pretty upset that he hadn't called or at least send a text...my husband is pretty neglectful...I don't think he cares...am I over reacting?

Graveyard shift can be difficult and make someone feel tired all the time. I think you are probably over-reacting, but you could tell him it bothers you if he doesn't call and ask how you and the children are doing.
