I finally have taken the time to figure out how to get the Valentine's paper off of my blog and get the Halloween on there. I hope that it is not Valentine's day before I change it again! I am really going to try to do better with my blog. I spent the time figuring out how to change everything tonight so that hopefully tomorrow after the Halloween Carnival at the school I can just pop a few photos on instead of feeling like I have to sit down for an all night project (like tonight was)!
The kids and I have been busily working on different things around the house, trying to get everything done before Payton's short trip home. We are hoping to surprise him by having a lot of the little things that never seem to get done (like touch up paint) accomplished!!!
Charity is sure missing her dad. She has made up a verse to "The Wheels On The Bus" about "Charity's Daddy On The Bus"! It is really cute when she sings it. . . Payton got a kick out of it when she sang it to him over the phone!
Kyller, Garrett & Oakley are busy with school, homework and their extra curricular activities. Oakley is involved with the 4th & 5th grade choir as well as piano lessons. Garrett & Kyller are getting ready to start soccer.
I am just trying not to pull my hair out as we run from one direction to the other. Thank goodness for family and friends that are willing to help out wherever and however necessary!

NO REAL NEWS YET
On Tuesday, February 17th, I spoke with my doctor and found out that indeed do have hyperthyroidism. I am now on medication that is helping with some of the symptoms. I no longer shake. . . most of the time.
On Tuesday, March 10th, I will be meeting with an endocrinologist that comes to St. George twice a month for a couple days at a time. He is so busy when he comes that my appointment is actually at 6:30am UT Time (5:30am my time). I am very anxious to find out all that has to be done before I can get the treatment done and start my way back to normal. I know, from the nurse, that I have to have 2 shots (I don't know if at the same time or if there is a time period between them), and go on a diet for I don't know how long. So at this point, I will not know a lot of things until the 10th. I am counting down the days to get some of my questions answered.
I will post more after my appointment.

What Next
Hyperthyroidism??????
It seems that there always has to be something going on in my family...first Ty, then Mary, now me. I spent the morning in the doctor's office (thanks to my bosses'). I have been struggling to go on my own, even though I have had several people tell me that they thought that I should go get checked out. After talking to the doctor and having a physical, it is his opinion that I have something called hyperthyroidism. I have had my blood drawn, and I have a thyroid scan scheduled for tomorrow. On Monday, we should have the answers. I have another doctor appointment on Friday the 20th to determine our next course of action. The doctor thinks that I should be able to have a radioactive iodine shot and then control it daily with pills. Although I was relieved to hear the he thinks that this is all it is, he also let me know that I should have been in for treatment months ago and that I really did gamble with my life. So....let this be a lesson to anyone that thinks that something is wrong with them....don't wait, finding out what it is, is the best way to go....at least you can formulate a plan of attack!!!
Payton
Payton is in Texas working on a golf course, so hopefully I will get better at posting if only so that he can see what is going on at home.
Kids
A quick note about the kids:
Oakley-- 9, enjoying piano, likes to help her mom (sometimes), raising pigs for the fair
Garrett-- 8, trying to be the man of the house while dad is gone, playing basketball, math whiz
Kyller-- 4, can't wait until kindergarten, loves little sister and can't wait to play with Jace everyday
Charity-- 1, mommy's little girl, looking for dad everyday, talking more and more
Pictures....
I am posting pictures of our house...the finished product since I haven't gotten that done yet and we have been living her 5 months!
