Funnies

Ethan and Tucker went into Cd'A today to spend some money.  When they got home Tucker came down to tell me all the wrong turns Ethan took.  My boy is directionally challenged (runs in the family) and never knows where he is going in Cd'A.  Tucker asked him what he would do without him and Ethan said "drive around in circles."

Later in the evening they were discussing snowboarding plans.  I told them to go and not worry about me I would do something.  Ethan says "what are you going to drive?"  I said "oh, I forgot about that."  Rusty pipes up that they can take Ethan's car and Ethan is arguing that there isn't room for the gear.  Rusty says "We can bungy them to the top."  Ethan heatedly exclaims that he isn't bungying his $400 board to the top of the car when Rusty pops up with "the $400 board on a $500 car."  It was SO funny.  You probably had to be here, but trust me it was funny.  My boy has priorities!

A tuckered out Tucker

Tucker had an overnight B-day party last night and the boys stayed up till like 4 in the morning and then got up around 6 or 7.   He came home cranky and tired.  We told him to go lay down.  He slept most of the day.  I finally made him get up at 4 so he would sleep tonight.  I think they had lots of fun.  His buddy lives down the road.  Rusty and Grant (the dad) actually went to school together.  Anyhow they have snowmobiles and Grant, Aliza, Rusty, and Aliza's mom pulled the kids on sleds.  They all had a blast.

Test results

Well all my tests are back and here what I see from them.  I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and am hypothyroid.  My estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone are all low, but testosterone is within range just on the low side.  DHEA's are low-normal and cortisol shows low adrenal reserve.  So at least all this explains why I have to fight SO hard to lose any weight, why I am tired with very little motivation, and generally just feel blah.  I am hopeful that when I talk with the Dr. on Wednesday she will have some ideas/ prescription whatever that will bring me back to the go go go girl I used to be.   Wish me luck!

I am already eating a good diet (the majority of the time), taking my vitamins, eating organic foods for the most part, and exercising so I should be off to a good start.

Growing up

I bought the boys a gingerbread house again.  I wasn't sure if they would do it or not.  Ethan decorated it really quick.  Tucker didn't even help.  I think this is probably the last year for the gingerbread house.  I also received a lot of crap because it was pre-built.  I didn't read the box.  I always get it at Costco.

Meeting Cooper

Awesome snow fort

 I loved that our shadowed showed up in this picture. 

The boys have been working on a fort and their friends came over today and they got a ton done.  It is huge.
