Its been forever since I have blogged.

Dance is going great and Pennie with about 20 of her dance mates has an opportunity to perform at a Rockets game. She is only gonna be doing 1 routine there.

She is doing a duo plus 2 dances with the team of 6 little girls this year.

Julie is dancing hip hop also this year, along with ballet and tap. She is enjoying it also.

It is gonna be a great recital this year. Fundraisers are in full swing and we are preparing for Frosty's Fair and the performances there.

I have began my own page on Facebook making some jewelry and misc things.

Bubba is heavy into his projects right now on his dueces. Its gonna be neat once its all complete.

I love these pics. The first is the girls in a stagecoach that was at the bank last month. The second is from this Halloween.

These are a few of my favorite things!

The first picture is of Julies shadow box. Then Pennies shadow box. 3rd is a picture signed by the Mayor of Munchin City. I have tons of things from The Wizard Of Oz. THat is a classic movie, even today!! Finally, is Honey. A doll Fisher Price made and still does last I checked that was bought for me before I was even born.

My birthday dinner

Yesterday was my birthday. My in-laws and husband just took me out to Pueblo Viejo in Cleveland for dinner. I had 2 Long Island Ice teas. When we were leaving they came over put a sombrero on my head and whip cream on my left cheek and chin. Also, they put whip cream and a cherry on my nose. It was embarassing yet funny! It will be abirthday that I will never forger. Glad there are not any pictures of it though. It had the whole restaurant laighing!

dr's, Dentists

Well, all the testing and stuff is finally done. I got so irritated bc I feel like they wasted my time, gas, & money. After going there weekly ofr the past month and a half for bloodwork, results, more bloodwork, and ultrasound, and then finally more results. It turns out things are fine. THey would not tell me that over the phone instead I had to drive 45 minutes to hear that my right thyroid is a little larger than the left but that may just be the way mine is. No problem there. The dr. said that it mightve been a lab error. THat really irritated me. I was thinking there was something wrong just to hear that.As far as the diabetes goes after doing the more extensive test the dr. ( not even the one that I had been seeing) says it was just a little high but nothing to worry about right now. My body just takes a little longer than most to digest the sugars. To just not eat white bread, white rice, or anything high in carbs. Drs tell ppl that all the time anyway, right?Guess I am tired just from what I thought. Not sleeping well at night. Staying up late, getting up early and chasing and playing with my kiddos all day and doin the chores and stuff around the house that need to be done.Next I am off to the dentist to get all my dental work taken care of that I need to have done.

this week

Just yesterday my 2 yar old daughter got ahold of a blue sharpie writing all over herself and the walls in her room.She also wrote on the wood cabinets in the kitchen and the dishwasher. It only took her a few minutes to do but an hour or so to clean it up. I still did not get it off of the dishwasher.

Monday Pennie got a medal in gymnastics. It was so great. Made her feel really proud. Took at pic of her wearing her first medal. Will post it soon.

Hopefully, one day next week I will have all the answers to the lab work and test s that I have had done these last two weeks.

Dance recital 2009

This is the only group picture of the girls that we got where the girls were almost all looking at the camera.

Pennie finally had her dance recital this past Saturdasy night. The little girls and the one little boy that was in dance this year did really great. I teared up a little when she first went on stage. It was a lot work being one of the Moms backstage QUICKLY changing from ballet to tap shoes on 11 girls wihin a few minutes. There was only 2 moms for this age group back stage. I missed a few of the other routines while I was back there but I at least did see both of Pennies performances.

my health

I went to the dr two weeks ago for that pain in the neck. Being it was the first time that I saw him he wanted to do some blood work and see how everything was for me. THey called this morning saying that the dr wanted me to come ins o that he could discuss the results with me. I made the appt for a few hours later and then went to see him. HE said I have hypothyroidism and will probably but me on meds for that. My thyroids are a little swollen so I have to go get an ultrasound soon and see what the problem is with that. He also said that my sugar level was high. I had to fast before doing these tests. I haveto go back and do more blood work for the thyroid and fast again to do the two hour glucose test to make sure whether or not I am a diabetic. Hew said that would explain why I am so sleepy alot here lately and totally drained of any real energy.
I am a little scared and worried but am sure all will work out OK. at least , I hope it will.
