A good day





Today has started out really good. Daddy was home this morning and when he went into to get Allison she cuddled with him. It was so preciouse. We then headed to the Drs for dad appointment. All is good but Kyle had to have some blood work done.

Some of you know I have been getting my thyroid checked every 3 months. After Allison was born my hormones got pretty bad. Latley i have had trouble sleeping so I am on medication for that. I am so sick of taking stuff. I recently got my thyroid checked again. I have a low case of hashimoto thyroidits. WHat is hashimoto? Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is a type of autoimmune thyroid disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys the thyroid gland. The thyroid helps set the rate of metabolism, which is the rate at which the body uses energy. Hashimoto’s stops the gland from making enough thyroid hormones for the body to work the way it should. It is the most common thyroid disease in the U.S I have had no energy these days. I eat right and exercise but something just wasn't working right with me. So I got it checked again. I was told by my doctor it is very common in woman who have given birth. Anyways, this might be the reason why i am not getting a good nights sleep. You would think now that Allison sleeps through the night I would too, not at all. I am adjusting to all this medical stuff that has happend to me over the year. It is very hard to take. I hate taking medication but the Lord is helping me to adjust with it all.

Ok, enough about me. After the Drs appointment we then went to drop Daddy off at work. We had lunch and then allison was excited to play in daddies office. She was so cute. Her new word now is "no no" when I asked her if we could leave she kept saying "no, no." As we got home I could tell she was tired. For some reason it took her 1/2 an hr to go to sleep. Here i am now blogging for you all. I tried to have a quiet time but with the laundry machine banging and allison crying i could not focus. I guess we have days like that. I am finding out that I need time with God. When i am not sleeping i am praying a lot but i need to read his word too. I am realizing that for me to be a good example to my daughter and others around me I need time with God. He truly is the best example, and the hardest to follow. I find that when I do spend time in the word or prayer my day seems easier. This is hard to do but i strive to do it. That is all I can do.

Yesterday I took pictures of Allison. Before we headed to music class i pulled out the paper and crayons. She is in this faze where she loves to scribble. I thought it was so cute. I had to get my camera out. She had a ball doing this. The hard part was keeping her in the kitchen with the crayons. I am affraid she might be like me when I was little and start drawing on the walls. At least now days the crayons are washable. Oh, how times have changed.



Well i am going to relax myself now. Tonight we head off to celebrate my nieces 21st birthday. I can hardly believe she is 21. She makes me feel so old. I have enjoyed watching her grow up though. Have a great weekend.
