Libby

Libby is my middle child and oldest girl.  She is also my quietest child.  She is very shy and doesn't talk a lot to people she doesn't know.  Which is why it surprised me that she came home and told me that she was picked to be in the play at school.  She goes to Calhoun Academy of the Arts.  Every year the drama class does a production.  This year it is about pirates.  They go through many trials that would make anyone want to turn around and go back home.  But they keep going.  Libby is part of the storm.  I am so proud of her.  Hopefully this will bring her out of her shell a little.

My Week

I hate being sick!  I have had an itch in the back of my throat for about 3 weeks.  Last Thursday it finally developed into a sore throat.  I lost my voice on Friday, and still haven't got it back.  I can't sleep because my nose gets so stopped up that I can't breathe.  I can't wait to feel better.  I learned last week that my dad has a new form of cancer.  Apparently this one is a very aggressive, fast-growing type.  But his doc says he is optimistic about treating it.  I just wish he could treat the pneumonia that put dad in the hospital.  This is a new month.  Hopefully it will bring better luck.
