So did they tell you what brought on the change in thyroid this time??? All the struggle you had trying to get it under control, and it was, right? Under control? Was it something in disney that triggered it? Gosh, it looks painful
Glad you figured it out though.

I am so so glad you get 4 days off! Hopefully after the holidays job #2 will slow down. You need a breather!

 

[Clio]

I'm glad they figured out wanted happened to you at Disney.
Enjoy you vacation. Unfortunately I have to work everyday but Christmas. the joys of retail.
Have a Merry Christmas.

I'm glad they figured out what it was, Mo, and hope you are back to normal soon. Did they say what threw it off?

 

[Denovagirl]

Sorry to hear about your swollen-ness in Disney!! Clearly it did not slow you down too much though!! Glad your doc finally found out the issue and hoping and praying for your return to your normal self soon!!

Hope you guys are having a great Holiday and I really hope you enjot your 4 day off!!!! WHOOOOHOOOO!!

Get lots of SLEEP and have lots of sweet times with the fam!!

If I don't make it back to check on you before Thursday then...

I am glad the doctor figured it out and you are on the mend. Hopefully, your thyroid will reach the right balance again and the right dosage.

Glad you have 4 days off. My 4 days off begin on Christmas. The office will be closed tomorrow, but I switched that day off for Friday (my birthday), because one needs to take birthdays off whenever possible. So, at least I should have a quiet day at work tomorrow and then 4 days off. More important though, there is no dance classes for 2 weeks!

Have a good Christmas and have lots of fun with your kiddos.

I know you said you won't be on much once you're on vacation and that's a really good thing. It's been since November 17th since I've been on the DIS. I couldn't believe that!! But I'm here now just to wish you a Merry Christmas to you and your awesome family. I know you'll have tons of fun and laughs and pictures to share once you get back here. So, Merry Christmas, my friend and have a blessed 2015!!

So did they tell you what brought on the change in thyroid this time???

Between the heat/humidity and walking on the concrete?
I guess the blacktop got me?!? Who knows..

All the struggle you had trying to get it under control, and it was, right? Under control?

this thing is up and down more then i am.. so hard to keep it straight. I go for another blood test next week.

Was it something in disney that triggered it? Gosh, it looks painful
Glad you figured it out though.

[Chicago Mo]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!! I am sorry i wanted to jump on to wish everyone a WONDERFUL MAGICAL Christmas, yet being home with the kids FINALLY i did not touch my computer once. instead i enjoyed every minute with the kids!

So here is my big fat late MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!

If you don't want to read my crazy antics for Christmas then skip on ahead! I understand! I need to get a real update on here.. But i need to upload the pictures!!! I've been bad... I also have to edit all the Christmas pictures before my niece comes after me...

So as you knew and i left off i worked this crazy City job. then went over to the part time job until 10pm. I was then OFFICIALLY on vacation for 4 wonderful days! i did NOT use a computer i might have checked facebook a couple of times while out smoking. but my time was spent with the kids as much as i could!
So Tuesday i was able to sleep in.
woke up and felt like crap! LOL I am NOT used to sleeping like that! after every one of my bones cracked popped and started moving again i was MOVING!
First order of business:

COOKIES!!! serious business here..





We made TONS!!! Still haven't made them all! I have to make a couple of more before New Years!

Meg made Santa his cookie:


it was the biggest Chocolate Chip cookie i have ever seen!

They wanted to read their Christmas books so we did:



They had a bit of trouble falling asleep.. SO EXCITED for Christmas Eve!! I stayed up until FOREVER wrapping the last of the gifts for you know who's

Next morning we cooked a few more batches of cookies, wrapped the last minute gifts. we needed to take over. Started to clean up as we didn't want a dirty house for Santa!

Here is a story for you...
as i am trying to clean up Stevie was out. Running havoc on my house. and attacking the vacuum. I think i ran his foot over at least 7 times and he still never stopped. Finally i had him in one hand the vacuum in the other i stopped to talk to the kids vacuum up and still on. as i am talking to the kids the moronic ferret decided to stick his head IN THE VACUUM HOSE! I swear i thought it sucked out his air or worse. thankfully i pulled him out. and he was fully intact and breathing.
Idiot.
He went back to his cage.
i finished up when my step dad pulled up and off we went to pick up the food, it's about a 35 minute drive. I let my step dad drive there. <-- bad choice.
Had to smell that DELICIOUS FOOD ALL THE WAY HOME.. talk about torture! I drove home. took 15 minutes maybe 20. back to my Parent's house we unpacked Tom and the kids showed up about 5 minutes after that. we dug RIGHT IN! My youngest sister and her tribe came then my oldest sister with her clan. All together i think there was about 20 something people. My youngest sister's husband got called into work (trainman) so we did presents a little earlier then the norm for my family. once i have my pictures done i will post them..

went home pretty early about 9:30 (early for my family parties) kids ran around getting the gianormous cookie, carrots milk everything ready for Santa and his 8 well 9 tiny reindeer!!!

THANKFULLY they hit the hay and were asleep pretty quickly.


the kids were on the NICE list this year and SANTA DID COME!!!



Some people have a train? Santa brought us a MONORAIL! set it up and everything!!!

Way more presents then needed:




4am sharp Meg was in our room. In the sweetest little girl voice you ever heard. Like an angel i tell you: " Mommy? I think Santa was here"
Looking a the clock -I don't care if Ed McMahon is at the front door with a fat check.- Go back to sleep. ARE YOU KIDDING I DIDN'T SAY THAT!
I simply told her 6am, that was our agreement cuddled back up and went happily back to sleep until 5:30. 2 boys and 1 girl were bouncing off the walls.
ugh... lets do this! More pictures later with my camera, here are crappy phone pictures!





Zack trying to clean up:







Stevie is somewhere in that heap of paper..

Logan opening his gift: (video click)



Our annual breakfast started with my parent's and our friend Billy. Mickey Waffles- potatoes- eggs- bacon- sausage- cinnamon buns- rolls- pancakes
mimosa's! it was delish.

afterwards the boys wanted to play with their new guns:


Nope they didn't shoot their eye out.
here is our friend Billy (more like family then a friend)

remind you of someone?

I laughed VERY HARD...

Tom got the Atari game system so the boys were being themselves


Zack had his Lego train built in no time and was racing all over

i will say this is very cool...

Logan has a message. (video click)


This was our Christmas in a nut shell..
Yesterday i WISH i took before and after pictures of Meg's room. it was a terrible mess.. we tackled that which took ALLLLLLLLLL day. now my daughter has a beautiful room again.
this weekend... we tackle the boys room. This time i will take before and after, i know it will take about 3 days.

I am here at work today tomorrow i work for a whopping hour and a half, off again! thinking i need Monday off too...

I hope you all have a safe and happy new year!
