Liese, you are utterly and completely kind, generous and amazing. I love you for it. The issue is that my sister and my niece flew from Hawaii to Ohio to drive with my mom. I'm not sure I could convince my mom NOT to go on the trip at this point.
Sigh.
I want to cry because this is going to be expensive and complicated and I ultimately do not want.
Huge fight with DH this afternoon on top of a looong, annoying meeting for a fundraiser I'm working on for the end of this month.
This day has been a total fail except for Wil Wheaton replying to one of my tweets.
Cashmere, AND the overturning of Prop 8!
But I am sorry you and DH had a huge fight.
I just got to see the Prop 8 stuff. That's huge. I just have to avoid FB in case one of my annoying relatives posts something that I'll have to go off on.
My day started with my sister waking me with a phone call to tell me her mother in law had had a stroke and they were taking her off life support so not much could really pull me out of a mood.
Yay Wil Wheaton?
I've been chuffed to see some people on my FB who've been posting the Prop 8 news, people who I know from long ago or not in a political sense so I don't so much know where they stand.
Awww, Cash, that sucks. I am sorry.
Thanks, java. Life usually hands out a couple of completely douchy days and this just happens to be one of them.
Bright side? Nearly over.
Aw, Cash, that utterly blows.
So I'm shifting my frame of reference. Instead of seeing this impending road trip as darting across the country to babysit dad, I'm taking this as our family vacation. I think I have to pull Noah from two weeks of his summer program (ugh... I wanted those to be an adjustment for him. Sorry, kid). I think we'll take the Northern Route to Ohio and the Southern Route home. So if you leave near I-80 or I-40 and would like to hook up, let me know.
Tomorrow is Dad's pacemaker surgery.
I know Cruces is off the path of 40 by 3 hours, but if it falls in line with getting where ever, I'l hook you up with my parents. I'm pretty damned certain they'd be happy to put you up at any time.
