I had to check your post and see if I wrote it! I seriously struggle with this but have had to let go of this compulsivity of mine. Do not do school on Saturday - recuperate please! I hope you are feeling better, and don't worry about getting "off". That is precisely why it's a Day 1, Day 2, etc. schedule, so we don't have to feel bad about this. Cheer up though - if you can't say goodbye to this thought - next year, when you do a 4 day schedule (used in PHFHG and on up), you'll be able to do the extra day the next week and get back on that "Day 1 is always Monday" etc. schedule if you want. Can you tell I haven't completely come to terms with this yet myself?!? Just put the HOD books down, back away slowly Rebecca, hands in the air, no school on Saturday, o.k.? Wish I could come over and watch the kiddos for you, hope you're feeling better.

In Christ,
Julie

Thanks Julie! LOL I did NOT make them do school on Saturday....but we did a double day on Monday with the left side. It made for quite the day!

As for my health...I am feeling o.k. I have had issues with fatigue, dizziness, etc. and went to the doc on Friday. My thyroid was enlarged (no nodules felt...just all over enlarged. I am pretty sure that is a "goiter."). The doctor sent me for some bloodwork and I will have an ultrasound on Friday. I tend toward health anxiety with my OCD, so I have to really be careful not to go overboard and worry for the worst. I am doing a lot of praying right now. I have let the "goiter" go for about 6 years from the first time it was mentioned to me. Some docs said, "yes, it is enlarged" while others didn't seem to think it was. It was really confusing to me and I let it go. I am hoping and praying that wasn't a big mistake.

Rebecca - I am praying for you! I've had thyroid problems that made me totally exhausted and dizzy as well. I am praying for clarity for the doctors about what is best to do to help you feel better. Thyroid meds really have turned me around, though it took awhile to make a difference. I hope that there is something like that that can be helpful for you hon'. If it is a goiter, God knows what to do about that too. I've had to have fibroids removed before and when it was all said and done, I felt much better knowing they were out of my body. Maybe removing a goiter would have that effect on you too? Just endeavor to pray about it and then put it out of your head and into God's hands until your appointment as worrying accomplishes nothing anyway - sage advice my mother has had to give me repeatedly over the years. I'm glad you are back on track with your schedule, as I understand that want myself.

Love in Christ,
Julie
