No Excuses

So I've been sick all year pretty much, and I'm almost out of the thick of sick for good. The tonsils are healing, but the scabs haven't fallen off yet, (which is when the pain officially hits the fan). I'm not yet bored with baby food peaches, chocolate pudding, or Jell-o but I've cried twice from frustration at not being able to communicate what I meant to, through pencil, grunt or otherwise. I do like that Joseph has to read everything he wants to hear from me, and I like looking at my scribbles of half conversation at the end of the day. I love how generous my friends and neighbors have been. I know that even amid the excitedness of having Grant Morgan Nelson (my brother's firstborn) join our family, my family has been able to extend their love to me as well. I can't talk but a few short words, but If you have a story to tell me, or are dying to just gab away, right now, I'm your girl. I'm high most of the time too, so if I do end up commenting on whatever you've just blessed my ears with, forgive the sloppy, confusing reply.

Oh Sherrie,I am so sorry. I had my tonsils out 3 years ago and it was aweful. I ended up in the hospital for 3 days. I feel your pain.

No Kidding???? That stinks! I am so sorry you have been SO sick! Is it strep throat that won't go away or what? You know, being a mommy without a voice makes a difficult job nearly impossible. The good news is...you still make me laugh :). "I'm high most of the time...." HA! If you're high, that would mean that my stories might actually stand a chance at having any entertainment value..... :)

Sherrie,
I hope you are feeling better soon. I love the new family picture. You look amazing! what a cute family. So we had a LONG conversation about Joe tonight at dinner. Bryn kept remembering things about him and would tell story after story about it. It was so cute. Anyway hope things are better at your home soon. Wish I could do something to help. But I am thinking about you.

I've been thinking about you. I can empathize with it all, especially the feeling high constantly. Brad had to take the phone away from me because I embarrassed myself too much. Wish I was closer. Get well soon.
