I'm positively sick with grief for New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. Its been too much... I've had to stop watching tv and reading news. I can't deal with the enormity of such loss.

Pretty much packed up for Chelan. I haven' t done my clothes yet, but everyone else is set.

Oh yeah, today is my birthday :)

We leave early tomorrow and will be back Tues, so obviously, no blogging till at least then.

Pray for us. I'm so stressed out about how the kids will do. We all need this vacation, and we all need it to be fun and relaxing.
