Resting...not all it's cracked up to be

I think the lack of exercise is getting to me. I can't sleep at night, and I have an urge to paint the walls purple. (Don't worry, Mom, I didn't do it!) I just have a nervous energy that I can't shake. I miss my walks and all.

I will say that my foot only hurts a bit now, and actually feels better than the other foot. So that is good news. But the doctor said the bones take six weeks to heal, so I still have to be careful, even if it doesn't hurt. I am going to totally obey, because I imagine that the bones popping loose from the screw would feel incredibly awful.

But enough about me...my little nephew is due in just over a month. It goes so quickly when I am not the one who's pregnant!

My father-in-law seems to be doing well. He is responding to treatment, and is on a good pain medication that doesn't make him feel too sick.

Tim is loving his new job. He was sort of forced to take it because his business just wasn't paying the bills this year. But it has turned out to be fun and interesting, and he is getting lots of good attention from the higher ups. The company is supposed to have incredible benefits and insurance and all that we will get next month.

My kids are loving the warm weather and are playing outside as much as I will let them. We are on a homeschool break for now, so we will have a summer session again this year. When it is over 100° F in the summer, they have nothing else to do, and so they are very attentive to lessons.

I want Morgan to read Red Badge of Courage and The Old Man and the Sea this year. And I though I would read Macbeth to them. My friends and I practically memorized it in high school, so I think they might enjoy it.
