I am Utterly Exhausted

It has been such a trying weekend.  The second funeral today was lovely, short and sweet.  Which was a Godsend considering it was 95 degrees outside.  Duane's cemetery plot was under the shade of a gorgeous, huge old maple tree, so thank heavens it was in the shade.  I was one of the few people who got a chair, seeing as I still have pneumonia and shouldn't even be up out of bed.  Felt like I was going to faint a couple of times.  I want this illness to be over.  Pneumonia twice in one year is two times too many, even if it is only the walking kind this time.  Makes me think I can do more than I can.

I came home after the funeral and the kids and Chris went to the reception.  I finally talked Chris into getting an air conditioner for the house yesterday.  It's making a huge difference, but it's still hot in all the bedrooms.  I think we need one small one in the master bedroom and then one in one of the other three bedrooms.  I am moving the air through the house with turbo fans, but it's not enough.

I'm not writing right now.  I'm just taking some time off for a few days to try to really sleep and heal.  The kids go to my mother's tomorrow for four days and I think it is much needed for everyone.  They are driving me and Chris insane and I think we are pretty much returning the favor.  I have to be careful not to try to do too much while they are gone.  I will want to, because there is so much to do around here that is easier to do kidless.  And I know me.  I'll try to do it.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who sent condolences on the deaths of my aunt and grandfather-in-law.  They are greatly appreciated.  I don't have the energy to answer them individually, but know that I am very grateful for all your kindnesses.

Off now to waste time in bed on Facebook.  The evil of which I finally caved into last week to keep in touch with family over funeral arrangements.  And now I have two farms, a restaurant, and a pirate ship.  Facebook is an evil timewaster, but the games are fun.
