Trying to calm down

Trying to just calm down so I can try and study for my exam.  It's really hard to care about school right now with everything that is going on.  I had to meet my boyfriends father at lunch and give him my dog.  He is going to watch her while we go to another funeral in Santa Barbara.  The house is super quiet without my Remi.  the cats are still pissed at me for being gone so when I walk into the room they look up, give me the evil eye and go back to sleep.  at least she loves his dad though and was glad to see him and whined when she saw him in the parking lot where we met.  That made me feel better about leaving her..and I know he will take good care of her while we are gone.  After this morning I am not looking forward to a long car ride with him.  The kids are going with us but like most teenagers I'm sure their ipods will be plugged into their ears and they will be checked out for most of the ride....unless they are hungry lol.  I am so not ready for this exam.  We were on the go the entire time I was in Ohio and what little free time I had I was so exhausted I could not concentrate.  At least I took the whole week off from work so I have time to study this afternoon but I still have to pack also.  My class does not get out until 9:30 and I think we are either leaving after I get home or at the crack ass of dawn...hmmmm and no dog to send in to wake up the girls...this should be fun.
