bleh.

we let him watch tv all morning...

it has been a rough week.  i have been sick all week, my motivation zapped.  i felt like i was unable to do anything of value.  john porter was in rare form (his number of teeth has almost tripled this week), so he was extremely fussy, making meal times a serious battle, usually ending in tears (not from him...). 

john has been completely consumed by his finals, which required all of his attention. 

i heard sad news from a close friend. 

i couldn't stop watching the news about the school shooting.  i feel coldly reminded of the darkness of this world. 

then last night, john porter had a really high fever.  he slept terribly.  but he does seem to be doing a little better today.

the week felt really long and laborious.  but we made it.  john is done with his finals.  (he did it! he did such a great job...i mean really.  a really great job. im so proud of him)  we will be coming back home soon.  we do have so much to be thankful for. 

most of all thankful for Jesus.  light in the darkness.
