Blargh

Tonight's post was meant to be a real introspective one, the kind of cringe inducing too-personal writing that I excel at. But it's 4:30 in the morning and my boys just now fell asleep, so it won't be happening till tomorrow. I'm sorry. I promise it'll be up tomorrow, along with my ricotta and ravioli recipes (I know you're looking forward to those, Rose!) For now, I've got a belly full of pasta, my herbal muscle relaxers are kicking in (Hyland's Calms Forte, for anyone else with back/hip issues like I have. They're great if you're one of the uninsured like me, who can't afford to get into the doctor for anything non-life-threatening. I picked up a month's supply at Meijer for $4.95.), and I've got a busy day ahead of me tomorrow - we're getting ready to rip out the carpet and see what lies beneath. Fingers crossed I can sleep in a bit - the relief of knowing Grandpa is out of the hospital and at home, and the relief from finally being able to get Jonah in for his consult with the surgeon, have combined to make these shoulders a little lighter, and I'm thankful.

Mom, Dad, Mary, Diddy, Phil, Rose, Aimee, Mat, Betina, and as always Jeremy, thanks for being reminders that it's good to get out of my head once in a while (although being in my head helps with the blog posts). I love you all.
