Doing great!

Day two with no binging...yay! I've pretty much been right on target with my points too. Woot, woot!

I got my blood work back for my thyroid and it came back normal...once again. Argh! My white blood cell count is up high now and so I have to go back for weekly blood draws to ensure that it goes down, otherwise, I get to go to the hematologist for further workup and testing.

I am also scheduled for a sleep study August 11th, against my better judgement/wishes. I tried to tell the doctor that the reason why I am tired all the time is because I'm stressed and don't have much time to sleep. I'm stressed because I work full-time, go to school part-time, and have a family to raise/care for...plus I suck at balancing so I know I'm not doing the best I can do at this. Not to mention that I'm worried about my job security right now (who isn't right?) and money is tight for the next month. I am taking a one week unpaid "furlough" from work next week. I was kind of peeved at first until I started to talking to some of my friends and clients. One of my clients said that they made a 10% pay cut across the board at their company and a friend of mine just got offered a severance package and she's only 10 years from retirement. So...I'm just biting the bullet and am going to work from home for my old part-time job next week to try to supplement the money I'm losing.

On a good note, Only 8 more days until our TOOL concert and only a little over a month until our anniversary trip (sans kiddos) to Punta Cana. Can't wait!!!

Oh, and we're going camping at Jellystone this weekend. On one hand, I think it's a little hokey since the kids have no clue who Yogi Bear is but on the other hand, I think it's really sweet that Matt wants to create the same good memories for the kids that he had there growing up. It does appear to have quite a bit to do there so it should be fun. Collin is excited to go since he didn't get to go to South Dakota on "bacation"...this is his bacation (at least that's what we're telling him, LOL).
