I'll be brief tonight.  I've been at my moms, listening to a grave marker lady for 2 1/2 hours--I'm exhausted!  As a business person that goes into peoples homes to sell something, I've learned that if you can't sell it in the first 45 minutes, you aint gonna sell it!  We're going with a different company.

I've had a pretty good day today!  Mat took the day off so he could get caught up on some bookkeeping.  That meant he was here to get kids out the door and feed the baby (and I could sleep late!).  Yeah!  My sister Kari came up to hang out and help with stuff.  Diana!  I hope your migraine is gone!  I was able to get a few things done around here because the baby was happy.  Esther took the little kids so I could go to parent teacher conferences by myself (sigh . . . ), and I even made dinner!  It was just tomato soup that takes 10 minutes to throw together, but I did it!  And thanks to Laurie that has come at 5:00 the last 8 days to give me my shots!  There is just something about poking myself that I cannot handle.  I'm not sure Mat can handle it either, so we're grateful!

I am really achy tonight.  Something is going on with my bone marrow, so I'm going to go eat a little cereal (nightly ritual) and take a handful of pills.  Thanks for keeping track of me!  We are so grateful for all of you!
