We were going to leave the dog at my brother in law's house. We went over there and discovered that his fence has several places where she could easily crawl under and run away. He also lives on a busy road and she would probably get hit by a car on the road if she got out. So we had to scramble to find someone to feed her. Mom has the week off since it is spring break (she works at a school) and she agreed to feed her.

when i talked to my mom, she sounded really tired and wiped out. so i said, "you sound tired. is everything ok?" uh, no. a co-worker who has also been her good friend for years went off on her about something so stupid and petty. and then the next day (today) mom tried to tell her how she felt about it and just got more grief from this woman. so i had to counsel my mom. she was so upset that she started crying on the phone. the week before spring break is hard because everyone needs a break, everyone is on edge, and the kids are wild at the school. i tried to tell mom that the woman probably was upset or on edge about something else and she just happened to be the easy target. it still doesn't make it easier to cope with when your friend treats you that way. it makes me hurt to hear her so hurt because my mom doesn't have very many close friends.

we are getting up early and will try to leave around 8 am. we are travelling to Columbia, SC and staying with friends for Friday night. we are getting up early Saturday to leave for Charleston. we'll be in Charleston until Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon we will leave for Savannah, GA. We will be in Savannah until Friday, when we come home! Cory is looking forward to all of the great seafood we can eat. I just hope I don't collapse from all of the walking.

Well, that's about it on this end. i've just been running around trying to get everything ready to go. now i am tired. i'm going to take my pills and go to sleep. i probably won't blog for a loooong time! have a great week!
