I am exhausted. I keep telling myself that this is only a fraction of what it will be like with children. My heart goes out to every mother. We’ve had Jera for three days now. That doesn’t seem like a long time when I say it like that, but in my mind I feel like I’ve wrestled with this for years. There is no improvement in the potty training.

It was a delightful trip but seemed too short. Paul and I, along with Lewis and Ebony, drove back to Atlanta last night. We are so glad to be home. I wasn’t feeling all that well, so we stopped at exit 5 and checked out the $3 bookstore. That made me happy and I felt much better afterwards.
