i'm not writing well. i'm so sleepy.

i'm thankful for my healthy boys. i was thinking while we were waiting in the room about those parents with kids who aren't healthy. all the parents who had sat in that room waiting for test results. watching their kids be poked and prodded trying to find an answer. parents who knew their kids had cancer. i'm so thankful we have healthy, strong kids. they're so resilient. and i'm thankful. i'm also thankful for the access to health care. such a blessing. thanks for all the thoughts and prayers, we're doing great! they're pushing their tractors around my chair as i type.

dinner. books. bed.

carry out chinese. movie. cuddle. bed.

then tomorrow, meeting paw paw half way between here and abilene! (and not having children until sunday afternoon.)
