Tonight I'm going out with my best girls for a night on the town, but not before we have a family dinner at Traildust to celebrate all the May birthdays (Gavin, Ria's little girl and Tiffany's little boy are all Taurus birthday babies!). I'm not sure where all we're going tonight but a night with my mama's always makes me feel better!
In other news... there is some new talent in our home. Gavin has figured out that he knows how to roll his "r's"! It is hilarious - I will see if I can finger out how to take a movie of it so I can share with you. And even more hilarious, Persephone, our Siamese mix, has learned how to flush the toilet. I'm not sure why she finds this a good thing to do, but apparently she's been doing it for awhile... unbeknownst to me of course! So we are sitting at the dinner table last night and the toilet flushes in the powder room. I do a quick head count and indeed we are all sitting there together... there are four heads. No one should be flushing the toilet! The kids, of course, are already on to this and know it's the cat and about peed their pants laughing at me and my shock.
Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend... I am looking forward not just to tonight but to a cookout tomorrow with Shawn's family as well as some relaxing on the couch with the magazines that are calling to me...

You might get your thyroid function checked out. The symptoms you describe sound just like I felt when I realized I was hypothyroid (low thyroid). Thyroid problems are very common, especially in women, and are underdiagnosed and often overlooked by primary doctors. The thyroid is the master hormone for your body;mif it is out of whack, everything else is out of whack, from your energy level to your mood. I take a bit of thyroid hormone and feel 100% better. I hate to take medications, but this is not a drug as much as it is supplementing something in which I am deficient (though it is a Rx).
I learned a lot about thyroid function on Mary Shoman's website http://thyroid.about.com/library/links/blthyroid.htm . It's a great place to get the latest info from a tireless patient advocate. it isn't a commerical site.
Even if your thyroid is fine now, it's a good idea to be familiar with thyroid issues. They are so common with women, often developing during times of hormonal change, puberty, post-childbirth, perimenopause in 30s & 40s), postmenopause, as well as old age.
Hope that helps.
