I have been feeling pretty bad the last couple of weeks because I've been first hyperthyroid and then hypothyroid. It's been rough on me but I've been making it through.
Early this morning I started feeling incredibly nauseous accompanied by a migraine. It was so tough to make Abby's breakfast. Then to compound matters, the dog got sick and I had to clean it up. It was a relief that Abby was in school so I could lay down after I took her. Unfortunately though as the day went on, I felt worse and worse. I got her a happy meal from Burger King thinking I wouldn't have to deal with food until Evan got home. Wrong! She seems to be going through a growth spurt and wants to eat constantly. I had to make her oatmeal, popcorn and get several drinks. Every trip to the kitchen was difficult for me and had to be followed by a trip to the bathroom.
It's hard for a 5 year old to understand why you just can't do things for them. It's hard because she can't do everything for herself. So today was a day where I was powered by love for my children because I didn't have the energy. If not for them, I would have crawled back into bed and slept all day. But I guess that days like today make me appreciate the other days more.

Stuck in hypo land
I am hypothyroid. My patience for it is running out. I'm exhausted but I have a hard time sleeping. I'm moody, I have headaches and I feel like a zombie. I feel like my brain is so slow. I have to think for a long time about things before they make sense. The worst though is definitely the tiredness. No amount of sleep or caffeine makes me feel "awake".
This made me chuckle though:

Weekend Update
We had a nice weekend, despite being screwed with by our neighbor. It's not worth the energy of hating her. There's not really anything I can do about it anyways. Except never make a mistake than she can get me in trouble over.
Josh and I had a really nice date. We went to Maggiano's. We haven't been there in years. It was really nice and the food was super yummy. After lunch we went to see The Kite Runner. Josh and I both loved the book so we were really excited when we heard there was a film version coming out. The film was really well done. I knew that the rape seen was going to be hard for me to watch and honestly I had to turn my head and not watch because it was difficult. If you've read the book, you know it is an main ingredient of the storyline so they had to include it in the film.
Sunday my parents came out to our house. My Dad helped us out by repairing some drywall issues we have/had. I would like to being painting our house soon so it feels more like a home. I am a decent painter, but drywall repair perfection eludes me. Luckily my Dad is very skilled at that type of repair. I also got to see the proofs from my sister's wedding. They turned out really well. It will be hard for me to decide which ones to order because there are so many good ones.
Today it is 60 degrees. Hard to believe for January in northern Illinois. We may even have a thunderstorm later in the day. Selfishly I hope that it waits until after my DirecTV guy comes to fix my dish. This is the 3rd time we have had to reschedule over the weather and I am really hoping he can fix it today. I can go buy my textbooks today which is exciting. I am looking forward to seeing what's in store for the next semester. I start class next Tuesday. I am looking forward to getting back into my routine.

Quote for today
“When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your objective. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happy 2008!
For the first time in days, I got dressed up and did my hair & make-up. So I have to share a photo:
We gave the kids ginger ale in wine glasses to celebrate. This was at about 10:30 though because Abby couldn't stay awake. I love how she has to have a straw in hers.
We had a snowstorm yesterday beginning in the early afternoon. Josh took this when he took the dog out at 11. This is our home.
