It's almost 11:00 and I am soooooo sleepy. As I blog, Court's relaxing in the jacuzzi tub. We left Little Rock at noon today and are enjoying a layWe had a great time with the kids. Things aren't well in their lives these days, so I'd like to think we added a good bit of sunshine for the few days we visited. At the least, they now have new shoes, socks, undies, shirts and slacks to wear and they were well fed. Court's grandparents were AWESOME as usual. They even added stockings to their mantle for Amanda & me (even Court's sister's live-in boyfriend doesn't merit a stocking). As for Court's parents, there is not much to say. They have completely checked out of life. It's a hard thing to see.
Tomorrow we'll finish the drive to PA to spend a belated Christmas with my family. We are stopping for lunch in Columbus, OH with Yankeegirl. Sunday afternoon we'll return to East Jesus, leaving us two days to recover before getting back to the day-to-day routine.
MLK weekend can't come soon enough.

I'm so sorry to hear about Court's parents. I know it's hard on her. Thank God you guys were able to give them a nice Christmas.
On another note, I'm COMPLETELY jealous that you get to meet Yankeegirl.
I'm sorry that some things were most difficult, but I'm glad that some things are going quite well. Enjoy the visit!
Sorry to hear about Court's family situation, but I'm glad you got to be there for the kids. Safe travels and we hope you have a wonderful visit with your parents.
I totally fucked it up. So the jig is up. Syd, *I* am the clusterfuck.
I'm so, SO sorry YG. I never told Court we'd want to get to my parents via Columbus. Our mapped route took us through West Virginia to Morgantown and then north 100 miles through Amish country. I'd never driven that route before. Anyway, we were WAY off course of Columbus. My very bad, bad.
[I lived in Columbus for six months in 1985 when I did an internship at the data users center.]
I've gotten sick too: I'm achy and cold and I'm sneezing constantly.
It was a good day, but it was a hard day... short on sleep, over 2000 miles on the Jeep in a week, and I feel like crap.
Don't hate me...
