Life has been very good lately. About two months ago now, my health was becoming very very bad. To the point where I ended up in the hospital for awhile. Two days, not that long. In that time, though it was discovered that I was anemic enough to require a blood transfusion, in fact I had developed a heart murmur and that I had hypothyroidism. To a severe extent, it must have been developing for a long time. My TSH number was 25, if that means anything to anyone reading. It was a hard time, but out of that, came an upturn in my health that has brought about many good things. I am not completely leveled out and have a rough day now and then. That thyroid is a sneaky little gland that can affect your health in extreme ways. But the fix is easy. I take a small pill every morning, two now actually and have my blood checked now and then to see if my medication level is correct. My health is so much better. Even with my saying it could be a tad better and I have rough days, on a good day, I would say I have not felt this good in eight years, since before I was pregnant with my seventh child. I had stopped blogging because I felt so badly. And both my mothering and my homeschooling had become nothing to write about. Just barely getting the job done. Just barely. And some days I felt like not at all. But now! Now I have energy. I have become much more involved. The house is still trying to recover, but then eight years ago, I still did not have an immaculate house either! lol And I find I am finding joy in motherhood again. Little moments are starting again. Like yesterday afternoon, sitting on the front porch looking through our nature books with my three youngest. Or having the kids help me cook dinner every night. Okay, first of all, I am cooking dinner every night. Second, I have the patience to let the little ones help and I actually enjoy it. lol We just came back from a visit down to my parents' house in Georgia. I have some pictures share from that trip. And I need to update about my children's schooling and where they are. Good things. But that will have to wait for tomorrow.  |
