Hi ladies. I've been gone most of the day. I took my kids over to say goodbye to our best friends who are moving to CA.

Been crying most the afternoon and evening now, and my eyes are burning and tired. I only have 2 really close IRL girlfriends, and this one is my absolute closest -- more like a sister. It was so hard saying goodbye to her kids. They're like family to me and are my kids' best friends. I'm glad my kids seem to be taking it better than me, but I'm just an emotional wreck. My kids keep sayin, "Don't worry mom, we'll see them every time we go to
Disneyland!" I know they're right, but it seems so far away.

Maybe I can talk my dh into letting me come to the October DL mini meet so I can visit my friend then.
I'm supposed to be driving to CO with the kids tomorrow to spend a week at my mom's. Not sure if I will follow through or put it off another day. An eight hour drive with 3 kids just isn't sounding like something I want to do right now.
I think I'm gonna go put a cool wash cloth on my face and crawl in bed and avoid packing for a few more hours. . . .
