What might have been

The kids had been out playing on the trampoline and came inside to get something to eat.  However, when we looked back outside, there was movement by the trampoline???  Three VERY young deer were “investigating” and I was primed to grab my camera, because it appeared as if one of them was contemplating getting up on it.  However, something startled them and they walked away. (I’d like to imagine “mommy deerest” off in the distance bringing them to their senses 😉 …. oh come on, you know that was funny!)

That really stinks

You know your feet must be stinky when a cat walks over, sniffs your shoes and then proceeds to puke in one…

Biggest Loser

Although I have never seen the show The Biggest Loser, I understand the premise that obese persons wish to change their lives around and work tremendously hard to lose weight and get healthy.  A very good friend of mine was invited to audition for The Biggest Loser.  I am so proud of her for taking the steps to get this opportunity.  Please keep your fingers crossed that she is selected to participate in this life altering experience.  AND… I will be watching!  Good Luck Debbie… and Mario too 😉

a little about TSH

TSH=Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

There are LOTS and LOTS of resources re: thyroid info… this is just ONE of the many.  About.com is fairly easy to navigate and will lead you to many of the others.  This is my attempt at just getting you the basics.

What is a Normal TSH?

and now that you know a little about normal TSH levels… here’s an article to explain WHY your dose may be going up when you think it should be going down:

Did U txt me?

I was in a txt’ing conversation with someone whom shall remain nameless 😉  I *thought* the conversation was over, I had come home, changed clothes, kicked back with a kiddo for a good snuggle.  Next thing I know, the txt conversation resumes “not quite” where we had left off but I got the gist of it.  So for about 10 minutes, I was trying to figure out why I needed to go and meet my next door neighbor’s friend’s daughter.  YOU AREN’T MAKING ANY SENSE (yes, I typed that out).  You saw me come home, you know I’m upstairs in jammies, snuggling… and yet… here you are TXT’ing me, instead of walking upstairs to speak to me.  So, I pointed out “very politely” that this entire conversation didn’t make any sense to me anymore and that despite the fact that there was something going on at the neighbor’s… I had changed clothes… too bad!  the reply… “what? oops… wrong person”

Apparently one of our kids, who was NOT home, was supposed to be babysitting at some point…. HMMMM.

I had a bad hair day

One morning I was getting ready to leave and my curling iron broke.  I realize this isn’t the end of the world, and it really would have been otherwise unremarkable, if it weren’t for the incident that occurred later that day.  This particular problem is NOT what caused my bad hair day… I have good hair 😉 it usually does what I want.  That is, when it’s not plastered down with goose poop.  Yes, you read that right… and NO, I did not do this of my own accord!  I was standing outside at drum lessons waiting and it was a gorgeous early evening.  You know, clear blue skies, flocks of geese… flying right over my head.  No amount of papertoweling the afflicted area was going to make it any better.  Needless to say, you know who really loves you when you have goose poop (aka. bird poop) in your hair.  Goose poop separates out those whom will laugh in your face, from those that will snort their drink up their nose instead.  My house is filled with both.  However, Jeff was gracious enough to finish cooking the dinner I had left on the stove so that I could shower… It’s highly probable that it was so he could LAUGH OUT LOUD while I was out of the kitchen.

I’m not really sure how many shampooings it takes to get goose poop out of your hair.  It’s not something you are taught in school.  Shampoo (or soap) seems self disinfecting but do you trust that hypothesis when there is goose poop in your hair?  Yeah, neither did I.  I settled on LOTS of shampooings… just to be on the safe side 😉
