Braden finally finished the Driving part to get his license. I took him to get his license, yesterday. So if you live by me, stay off the sidewalks. Just kidding, he is a good driver.
He took drivers ED last year but at the end of the year the teacher had to go in for open heart surgery. The school was supposed to call us with days and times for Braden to finish up during the summer but they never did. Before school started I went into the office and left the teacher a note-with no response. I then left messages on his voice mail with no response. Braden finally went into his classroom and questioned him about it , just to find out that everything was full. I kept sending Braden to talk to the teacher and he finally made room for him to complete range and road.
I can't tell if Braden is excited about it or not. I think he is but just doesn't want to show it. We now need to get the mustang up and running again so I can teach him how to drive a stick.
It seems that I have had someone home ill every week this year. Zach didn't feel well on Tuesday, so I kept him home from school. He is still home today. I took him into the doctors and he has bronchitis. I am looking forward to warmer weather and less illness in our home.

Brrrr it's cold outside
Baby, it's cold outside.
We have been experiencing some CRAZY COLD weather the last two days. I drove the two youngest boys to school yesterday and the school marque said it was 12* degrees. Their principal was hurrying everyone inside out of the cold. I went to pick them up later that afternoon and it was still very cold. I stepped out of the door with Hope, no coats on, it looked very nice out. I quickly turned around and retrieved our coats. Looks can be deceiving.
Today, I drove the boys to school and the marque read a whopping 4*degrees. Seriously, where is the sun? Warmer weather would be nice.

Life
Life isn't the breathes we take but the moments that take our breathe away!!
I have had many of these moments the last few days.
Hope has learned to climb up on the kitchen chairs and then on to the table. I have found her sitting on it, crawling across it and standing on it.
She now walks up the stairs hanging to the bars, which isn't to scary. The walking down them is, however. If she didn't stop to play it wouldn't be so bad.
Braden has been driving me places. He isn't to bad but there are those moments that I hold my breathe and wish I had a brake on my side of the car.

Feeling skeptical
Yes, I am feeling a little skeptical today. How can you have all of the symptoms for a disease, but not have it?
Yesterday at the Endocrinologists, the doctor gave me a paper on Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.( I'll post what this is at the bottom of the post.) And told me that she was going to have me tested for this because I have ALL of the symptoms. She felt pretty sure that I had it. But the lab work came back negative. Loren's response was,"did they do the test right".
Other lab results came back normal except for Thyroid levels are now too high. So now they have decreased my med's. Also, she said that my iron level is on the low end of normal and that I should take over the counter iron pills. I have another appointment scheduled for 6 weeks to do more test and see how I am doing then.
I don't like to complain but I wish that I didn't feel so yucky.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a condition caused by inflammation of the thyroid gland. It is an autoimmune disease, which means that the body inappropriately attacks the thyroid gland--as if it was foreign tissue. The underlying cause of the autoimmune process still is unknown. Hashimoto's thyroiditis tends to occur in families.
These are the symptoms.....
