I Need a Nap! Miscellaneous Ramblings!

It's a busy week here as school is winding down.

FE has been working long and hard on his country report. He chose China as his topic and did a fabulous job (as always!). Today is his oral report and he wanted to bring in a treat, so we made homemade fortune cookies! It was relatively easy, but they have to be formed directly out of the oven, which means I burned the tips of my fingers over and over again yesterday! I'm glad that is over with!

Still with FE, his First Communion/Confirmation is tonight. He's been working really hard and between that and the thought of his oral report he was pretty wound up this morning!

One of my friends had called me a few weeks ago and wanted to go with me to see a play at Mark's work. It sounded like a light hearted, if demented, comedy. We went last night and had a nice dinner and laughed through the first act of the play. The second act, however, focused on an older woman dying of cancer. My friend's mom has cancer. We both ended up sobbing. Not exactly how the evening was supposed to go.

I have to see my doctor tomorrow because, once again, my thyroid meds are not working. I got my blood tested on Friday and the office called before 9 AM on Monday because he wants to see me. his will be my third dosage change. I could tell they weren't working so well as I'm losing tons of hair and putting on yet more weight. And I'm grumpy. I hate that there are so many things with this stupid disease that should be easily controllable!

All this graduation information keeps coming home. And it's not helping my mood. Or Bubba's. he may be the only senior I've known who is not excited to graduate! I'm just sad. It doesn't help that he turns 18 3 weeks after graduation. I wish there was a bit more separation. It's just two really big milestones in a short amount of time.
