The news

So, I went to the doctor yesterday. He was very nice and talked with me for quite a while. He ordered another thyroid test and a thyroid ultrsound, is gonna take the mole off my back, gave me a tetanus shot, ordered a sleep study to check for sleep apnea and talked to me about my depression and a bit about the PCOS, we are waiting on bloodwork to decide when/if we go further with that. He told me that I really need to start exercising. So I told him I would try and walk for at least 20 minutes every day. I go back in 3 months to talk about some other stuff.

Funny thing about having to go on a walk every day. When do I schedule it? LOL! I told myself I would go after school with the kids and they could ride their bikes, but in the back of my mind, I knew I probably would put it off, like I always do. Well, my friend Nichole called at 9am and asked if I wanted to go walking. Hee hee! Looks like the Lord is gonna make me keep my promise! We walked about 4 miles, and my shins hurt like heck! Felt pretty good though. Rachie fell asleep in the stroller and Jakey rode his bike.

Yesterday afternoon I totally cleaned out the garage. It was horrible! I meant to take a before and after pic so I could have used it for the cleaning challenge on BoM, but forgot. Actually, to some people it might still look a mess, but it is a million times better! I finally got all the shards of glass on the floor swept up. That was from Steve drilling holes in glass blocks for Melissa and I for xmas projects. I only cut myself once!

I took a load to Goodwill today. Feels awesome to be getting rid of some stuff. Last night at FHE, we had a long talk about people helping and taking care of their own stuff. I feel like all I ever do is clean up and I don't have time to do things I want to do unless I ignore the household things or stay up all night. It isn't fair to me, or to them because I get grouchy. I got halfway throught eh girls' room yesterday. Well, it is really just Becka's crud that I am going through. That child has so much trash in there and never picks it up and puts her stuff away like she is supposed to. After their room is done, I will tackle Jake's. His isn't very bad, just needs to have some re-organization done. Then it will be time for my room. Ugh! I also need to get this office taken care of. It has become the dumping ground, along with the garage. I am so tired of clutter and piles of junk!
