Exhaustion

It's been weeks since my last post.  What's up with that?  Well, it can be explained in two words..sinus infection.  The worst one ever.  We all got it, even Leo.  It caused utter exhaustion around here and pretty much a total lack of motivation to do, well, anything. 

We got back into town last Thursday.  We arrived home at 1:00 in the morning (ok, so technically Friday).  We were right in the dregs of sickness but all we wanted was to get home.  There are few things more unpleasant than being sick while not at your own home.  We braved the full day of traveling with a one year old.  I'm sure that we infected others but I just couldn't think about it.

By the time we made it home, we were so tired.  I don't think I've felt so exhausted in my life.  Just one experience comes to mind.  We were living in the red brick house in Logan.  A friend invited me out cross country skiing.  Do I cross country ski?  No, not really but it's good to try new things.  Perhaps I should have vetted this trip more carefully and found out if there were hardcore skiers going along, but I didn't and we basically went straight up a mountain...for hours.  Driving home in the car, I couldn't keep my eyes open.  I was so physically spent by the time I got home, that it was all I could do to collapse into bed.

When Heber came home, there was a trail of snow gear all the way up the stairs and me completely passed out.  I felt like that on Thursday, except throw in an excessively congested nose and sick one year old.  I have never been so happy to be in my own place.

So we are finally home and there are so many things to write about, so many that I want to record from this past month.  Please, let this sickness go away so I can think again.
