Saturday is a Special Day!!

Oh Saturdays are usually a busy day filled with Cleaning, Laundry, Shopping and such and today was not much Different. Busy that is!!
I started my day off at a Auxiliary Training meeting, Can I just say I'm not a Meeting kinda Girl,  Well at least not a 2 Hr meeting. Don't get me wrong it was good,  Just LONG!   Then is was off to a Basketball game, Can I just say watching little kids play sports always makes me Smile. They just want to win so bad and some of them are just Clueless, Like for example when the little boy gets the Basketball and he's so stinking proud of himself that he doesn't realize or hear his Coach yelling "Hey It's The Other Way." Classic. Well they didn't win but it was fun to watch anyways!! My next stop was Pet Co, Nathan needed some Lizard supplies and I some Crickets for Millie and Rodger(The Baby Turtles). As I was walking around the Corner I saw HIM!! He had curly brown hair, Big brown Eyes and I wanted him!! He was the Cutest dang Dog I've ever seen(Next to Lola). He is a Spaniel Mix named Murphy and he just had one of those faces! You know the face that says "Please oh Please take me out of this cage and take me home with you!!"  It's a good job that I'm strapped for cash because if not Murphy would probably be sitting on my lap as I sit here and type this. I so hope that Murphy can find a good home. I hate being POOR!!  Next we headed to the Library, Not my favorite place, but Ashley needed to get some books. While we drove around looking for a spot for like 5 minutes I saw a man that gives me the CREEPS !! He used to go to the same church,  He asked me out. I said No and he cried. Sad for him!! Scary for me!! And he also informed me once that all he wanted in life was to Marry a Mormon Girl and have Lots of Babies.  EWWWW!!  I was happy to see that he had found himself a nice girl. I hope they will be so happy together with ALL their children.
A couple of things that I realized as I was out and about on my shopping trips were that.  1. I'm SO glad that I don't Smoke, because just walking past the outside Ashtrays makes me want to puke. So Stinky. 2. Eating Peanut Butter M&M's makes me happy and they just taste so Dang good. And last but not least 3. I wish I had a Never ending checking Account where I could spend and spend and never have to worry about hearing the word Card Denied! Wouldn't that be SO Great!!!
All I have to say is Never a Dull Saturday!!

No Stress?? Right

So the Doctor told me to try to eliminate undue stress from my life! I typically don't feel like I am a stressed out person, but last night while I was trying to relax, kicked back watching Grey's Anatomy, My cell phone rang and normally I don't answer it, if it's a number I don't recognize, because hey if the want to they can leave a message and if I know who it is I will call them back, but I felt like I needed to answer it, so I jumped off the couch and said HELLO. Then the Stress began, it was Assure link(the Medical button people) saying my Grandma had pushed her button and they thought that maybe she had fallen. They weren't able to hear her well enough to know what had happened!   Well a call like this sends me into Panic mode!!! What am I gonna find when I get there?? Well Ashley and I raced over to find Willow (My Nickname for Grandma) sprawled out on the floor. She had gotten up to go to bed and was half asleep and fell on the floor! Thankfully she was not hurt, just a little scared. I'm so grateful that she was Okay, She is getting pretty frail and a fall like that could really be bad for her.  So Glad that you were not hurt Willow!! And Thanks for helping me remain Stress free!! HA HA

Craft Fairs

I love Craft Fairs, The Smells (Cinnamonn Almonds, Scentsy, Homemade goat milk lotion), The cute ideas that I can Steal and make on my own later, Sorry Crafters. Okay not really sorry, I do it year after year!!
I just love walking around and admiring all the Craftiness out there and wishing that I had some of that talent.
I look forward every year to just go and look, most of the time I don't buy anything but I Love it just the same!

The Results

My Results are In!!
The nurse called to inform me yesterday that the results of my Thyroid Ultrasound are in and they look good to her! She said the Dr will read them when he returns, but for now she thinks they look good! Such a RELIEF!!
I'm so grateful for supportive people, who've been worried and have prayed for me to get good results. Knowing that something could be wrong is scary and nerve wracking but knowing that prayers are answered helps A LOT! So Thanks everyone! My "Brain" still hurts really bad most of the day, but I'm sleeping better, thanks to the Pain/Sleeping pills. I just really hope that my Thyroid levels can be evened out and I can start feeling better, I'm literally so Tired of being Tired. I just want to feel normal again!

Waiting Game!

Today was the big Ultrasound!   Are you thinking what I think your thinking??   WRONG :)
I went in to get an Ultrasound on my throat, to check out why my Thyroid is so freaking big!
So after waiting for about 1/2 hr they called me back and had me lay on this nice comfy table :) squished some nice cold jelly on my throat and proceeded to run the ultrasound wand over my neck, I almost laughed a few times, but I held it together. I asked the nurse a few questions to which she answered all of the with "Oh you'll have to ask your doctor, or you'll have to have your Dr. explain that. Except when I asked "well can you tell me what the red and blue stuff on that image is an she finally answered oh it's just blood!! well is that good I asked. I bet you can't guess her reply!! If you guessed that I have to discuss it with my Dr. Then you are Right!!  Ugh why is everything a secret? So the results? Well I won't know now until next week. AAAAHHHHHH!! My Dr. is out of town all next week so it's just the good ole Waiting game for me!! SO now I can just keep on worrying. Fun Right? Wrong Again.
I think that the Lord wants me to learn a little somethin about Patience. So here goes, until next week that is!!

Exhausted

Can I just say I'm Exhausted!
So I have had a headache for the past 3 weeks and I'm so tired of feeling crappy. With a lot of worry and pressure from people who love and care about me. I finally scheduled an appointment with a Doctor! 
I went to see Dr. Ward and after a brief visit, he thinks that I probably have Tension Headaches and he also reviewed my blood work and decided that I need to have an Ultrasound to see what's up with my Thyroid.
I can honestly say I'm Freaking out. I know that it will all work out and that nothing bad will happen. I just hope that the medicine that I've been prescribed will help regulate things and get them back to normal soon, so I can finally start feeling better.
I guess I'll know more next week!
