road trip time

Well, the time has finally come. We're leaving for New Mexico tomorrow, and wouldn't you know it, poor mom caught a cold yesterday. She woke up with a sore throat yesterday morning and today she has a full blown cold. We were supposed to see Alex's parents tonight (maybe) but canceled cause she really wasn't feeling all that well. I asked her if she was ready to go home, not feeling so well and all, and she said absolutely. She's been sleeping in front of the TV most of the evening and was so tired she was going to bed. Now she's sitting out in the dining room, probably playing computer games. 

We'll pack up tomorrow and be on the road by noon, I'm predicting. Josh and Alex are going to come over and say good bye one more time tomorrow, and hopefully mom will feel at least a little better. Ozzy is, of course, going with us, but I haven't told him because he would be so excited that he'd never get to sleep. This is going to be a little different for me, because I have to drive the whole thing in the day. No night driving this time - that's so unnatural. But, at least I have the pretty half of the trip. The other guys have the ... well, ugly parts to face, and Ozzy is a great travel partner. It'll just take me a while to get over so much time in the sun. I guess I probably should take a hat this time. It really does help, even in the car. I'll probably end up coming home on Sunday, but I have the room for Monday, just in case, so no more posts until next week, so don't go away - I'll be back.
