This past week

Not much has happened. I worked on the store for a bit, added some new stuff. Did some back to school shopping for the kids. School doesn't start until Sept. 8th but I hate last minute running around for that kind of things.

I had 4 really painful days. I'm going back to the doctor next week for a thyroid re-check. I think I'm going to start pushing for treatment for the CFS. So far he seems more concerned with my thyroid. He listens to me most of the time, and I understand his point of view about confusing the picture by starting multiple medications at the same time. Maybe he's just taking care of the easy thing first, making sure it's going good, before tackling the hard stuff. I hope that's what he's doing.

My mom took my oldest son with her to pick up my grandma at my aunt's house over in Seattle area. We figured that since my oldest got to go with my husband truck driving for 2 weeks, then to girl's camp for a week, then to her best friend's house for 4 days, that our son deserved to take a trip without anyone else too. He had a blast! He got go to the aquarium and Taffy Land and Deception Falls. He took some pictures, but not enough to satisfy my curiosity. And of course my mom developed them for him and didn't get a CD to go with it. So I'm taking the pictures into Walgreens to have them put on a CD so I can put them on the computer. Much easier to pay someone else $6 than to sit here and scan them all myself.

It's been interesting having my husband home full-time again. He managed to get his old job back at the paving company. But it's only seasonal so I don't know what we're going to do this winter. Sometimes I wish he stayed truck driving as it doesn't matter what the weather is, he can still work. But then it's been helpful to me to have him home in the evenings and the weekends. I'm able to take better care of myself. It's just been an adjustment. I got so used to having him gone, now that he's here I have to get used to it. I have to remember not to leave my make up all over the counter in the bathroom so he has room for his stuff. I feel like I have to have dinner ready by the time he gets home - which is impossible because he never gets off work at the same time each day. Overall it's good, it's just different. It's only been 3 weeks. But I'm sure things will get back to normal soon.

Hope everyone else is having a good August!
