More problems with the thyroid, I think.....

I hate it when my hair comes out. Because of my hypothyroid I guess my hair keeps falling out in small, but scary clumps. I was under the impression that it would stop doing that once my thyroid was in balance. Maybe that means I should call the doc and have my thyroid levels checked......I'm tired a lot again too, that is another sign. I think I'll go call them now.

Tonight Morgan is going for a sleep over at a friends house, so in the morning we will pick her up and then get ready to head to Joplin. It should be a good weekend, aside from homework that will be due. I look forward to seeing my sister, all my nieces and nephew, most of the immediate family on both sides we will get to visit. I haven't seen my grandparents since Mother's Day, and I look forward to talking to them again.

I'll let you guys know what the doc's office says, but I'm guessing they will order a blood test to see where it is.

Life


I can't believe how much time goes between my posts here. I guess I just forget that it is here.

Where to start. Those who I have stayed in touch with know that in Feb 2008 we made our move to Oklahoma. The good thing is it isn't that far from where we lived in Missouri, but it's far enough it's not a surprise visit..... We have all started to adjust, but it has taken some time. The first few weeks of school last school year were rough. Morgan cried the first several days of school, and Blake really struggled to just catch up. The school system here is ahead of where they were in Missouri, so that certainly didn't help. Once the school year was over, they seemed to really relax. The summer was nice, but long. I was glad, and I think the kids were too, when the school year started back up in August. They started on Aug 13th, and I started at my new school at Roger's State University August 14th. Before our schools started though, we had a wonderful visit from our friends from Virginia. They stayed with us for almost a week, and we were all very sad when they had to head back home. We had gotten used to them all here, and it was very quiet, too quiet when they weren't here anymore. While here, we took them to the aquarium in Jenks, OK, and it was really neat. We need to take the kids back again so they can spend more time there. We had planned on taking them to the zoo, but since it was so hot, decided to not do that.


Let's see, what else has been going on. Eric and I celebrated our 11th anniversary in August. I'm so glad I have him in my life, what a treasure he is!!


Something else that is going on is Morgan has started dance at her new studio here. She didn't like it the first week, but I think she is starting to adjust to the difference. I know she misses Mrs. Rosemary, but things will get better with time. She has already said she likes it more now. I can't believe how much she has grown up!! She is becoming a little lady right in front of me.


Blake is seeing a new doctor and he seems to be really nice. We are all concerned with how small Blake is, I really thought by now he would start growing, but he just doesn't eat very much at all..... I think even the doctor is worried about it.
