Dark cloud

One of my best friends from Utah (5 and a half hour drive) came to visit this week ... On her way to move to Virginia (40 hour drive). As they drove away, I sat on my front steps and bawled. Baby Lizza was confused. And during the whole thing, I knew there was an easy chance that my new CO best friend could see me crying from her classroom across the street. It's kind of a silver lining that that did not phase me. I take a lot of comfort in my new friends. But it is still so sad for me to watch Aunt Lizza drive so far away.

So the rest of the dark cloud came two hours later when Tim's only CO friends came by the house to say good bye as they left town to move back east also. It's a heavy day for both of us. We love all these abandoners so much. And we'll be friends forever -- but I want them next store. It's worth crying about in my eyes.

The kids screamed and cried about other crap all afternoon. I think they knew.
