The Colorado trip is a No Go

I was pretty excited last month when I booked my rental car and planned for a long 4 day weekend over Labor Day.  I had it all planned out with Mom and I had friends I was planning to see.  Super, but this week a sinking feeling about the trip hit my gut and I have promptly decided to cancel it.  I just feel I cannot trust going home without the knives being sharpened and aimed for my back.  I will see Colorado again when Skip's deployment is over and we make plans together to go.  Until then, I will remain safely tucked away in small town Kansas where that drama will have a hard time getting a stab at me.
