Anxious..and going for it.

I am treating this like a diary I guess, so for the 4 of you that might actually read this, I will apologize now. haha

I went in today for some blood work, its been 5 weeks since I found out about my "sluggish" liver. I have a doctor appointment Tuesday Nov. 24, my doctor will have my blood work back by then and we should go over it then. To my best understanding: If the liver enzymes are still high, or have gone any higher he will order a biopsy on my liver to give us a clear understanding what is doing it. (Could be a number of things, including my diabetes medication.) For now I am praying that the numbers are lower now and we won't even have to mess with any of that!

Anderson is so excited about Christmas this year, and in turn, that make me even more exciting. My child is very aware of things, more than most 2 year olds I think. He ready for Santa and all the lights, he remembers where we had certain decorations last year in the house and is already asking if we are going to put them in the same spot. It is so fun already, I can only imagine the look on his face as we put up the tree and hang lights! We will be going to my mom and dad's for Christmas this year, and I will have Anderson set out cookies and milk, and carrots and water (you can't forget about the reign deer) and we will make sure Santa can find his stocking easily. Then we will tuck him in and tell him as soon as he wakes up we will come and see what Santa brought him.

I have a lot of "goals" for the new year. 1.I want to start cooking and baking more. I used to hate it, but now I really enjoy getting in the kitchen and trying new things. 2.I want to get a good handle on my diabetes, this includes several small goal wrapped into one. -eating better -working out and -loosing some weight. (After 3 years of having this my doctor ran some test and found that my body reacts well to exercise. I make a TON of insulin but my cells don't respond to it, when I exercise it makes my cell accept the insulin that my body creates.) I was told that if I make exercise a priority, part of who I am that I might..MIGHT be able to get off all medication for diabetes. **So that is my big goal, slim down and eat health in hopes that my diabetes comes full circle and I can get off my medication. 3.Then end of next year we are talking about possibly trying for Duffell #2...

Nothing much..

Where to begin. There hasn't been a lot going on, but its been a while since I got on here so I thought I would take a few minutes and post something.
I have a lot to be thankful for in my life, I have been doing a 30 day thankfulness challenge and it really "does a body good" to get up in the morning and FIND something to be thankful for. It just kind of aligns your mood for the rest of the day. Its day 12 and its getting difficult on one hand, but not so much on the other. I have already been thankful for family-friends-kids-husband-work--- and the rules are that you aren't supposed to repeat yourself, so now its getting hard to FIND something to be thankful for. That is when you just have to look at the easy stuff. I am thankful for my comfy bed, where I look forward to a good nights rest... blah blah blah. The point it I'm thankful.

I know I have complained before about the whole house in Durant thing; the bottom fell out on Tuesday so I thought. The renters that I had lined up for December called and backed out. I freaked, went off the deep end, almost had a panic attack. Then I talked to my oh so level headed husband. Of the 4 followers I have, yall all probably know that I am a bit of a hot head. I am much better than I was in HS, but the unforeseen things sneak up on me sometimes. This is were Ron comes in. See we are really POLAR OPPOSITES on most things. It usually works out for us though, like this.. I freak-- he tells me this :: Mindee, we will find another renter, I know its not FUN paying both morgages, but at least we are able to.. At least it wasn't one of us who got the 15% pay cut (that was the renter excuse) , we will find someone to rent that house, you just need to settle down, its not good for you to get all shook up like that. I cry, he hugs me. End of story, so now I am just waiting for the next renter to come along....

We got family pictures done by a professional last week, I can not tell you how happy I am to have them done! We are giving them out to family at Christmas and I just cant wait to see the look on my families face!!

This weekend we are going to do some HARD CORE potty training. I am combining about 3 different things that I have read about to see if we can get it done. So there you have it. Nothing much going on..just life...
