so tired.

i was sick for about a week and am finally seeing the end of the various manifestations: sinus infection, pink eye, laryngitis. but it's left me completely worn out. last night i took Margaret to the Y for her basketball practice. while there i tried to run on the treadmill because the ellipticals were all taken. i hate treadmill running. it's nothing like the real thing. i lasted about 3 minutes on the dreadmill, as my MIL calls it. i ended up walking for the rest of the time. i felt like a doofus there in my Livestrong marathon finisher shirt not able to last even a half a mile.

i didn't go in to work for Classical Conversations on tuesday. it was nice to have some time to myself. i cleaned and sewed and cooked and just felt so peacefully domestic.

i brought Jose home with the rest of my bunch. he had dinner with us - pot roast, rosemary biscuits, mixed field green salad with homemade dressing, steamed broccoli with lemon butter, and a homemade lemon meringe pie. he didn't seem accustomed to sitting down to dinner or praying before eating. after dinner, Brian took the boys to cub scouts, picking up Ricky on the way. both Ricky and Jose are going to join the pack.

speaking of Ricky, things aren't looking so good for him. the local doctors have done all they can. every time they try to fight the leukemia, his heart rate drops dramatically. he's a candidate for St. Jude's, so over spring break Gracie will take him up there. hoping and praying that they can figure out how to treat him. that kiddo is a fighter.

this post was never finished, but i'm posting anyways.
