It's late and I'm tired. I don't want to go to bed because it feels too early for that. These late nights are getting me programed, but by Thursday I'm mentally exhausted. Tomorrow must be Thursday right? Okay, so I'm tired a day early. My eyes are tired. I've been reading like a madwoman and churning out literary analyses like there's no tomorrow. All of this just to be an English teacher...yeah, it's worth it...but what if I've lost my sanity by then? Currently I'm doing Adolescent Literature and surprisingly I've discovered a book I really really like. Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse is a keeper. It's a book written in verse so that any page by itself is a poem, but collectively the pages tell a story about a girl living in the dust bowl of the 1930's. I've added it to my favorite books list because I like it so much. Maybe I should have been a Librarian....hmmm...right now that sounds pretty good. I am so easily distracted. I got on here to update everyone about Jacob...that's pretty bad isn't it? Anyway, Jacob was able to come home on Monday-a whole week ahead of schedule. He is doing very well. He had an appointment with the cardiologist today and they said he could even return to school next week as long as he only goes for half the day once or twice during the week and then gradually work his way back to the normal schedule after a few weeks. He lost 8 lbs. while he was in the hospital and now weighs a whopping 51 lbs. My sister says she can't believe how well he is doing and how fast everything is healing up...must be all those prayers :)
