Our Life & Times

Today is Konnor's first football game of the season. It seems like we have already been doing football forever, but we are finally at the point of having some games! Konnor's team's name is the "Little Steelers", so GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! He and I made a poster last night for the team to run through when they start the game today. He thought that was pretty fun. I just hope everyone can stay in one piece!!! The 5th graders got to go to a Jr. Broncos training camp/Gatorade Challenge yesterday for a P.E. field trip and Konnor had a blast! (He finally found something about school he likes, football!!!) Unfortunately though, one of our players for Konnor's team hurt his ankle during the training camp. Then, another player has strep throat, and another one is out of town... Ugh!

Anyway, I have discovered there IS a world out there beyond my schoolwork, cleaning the house, and going to little league football practices, and it is called the United Way! Since I started my internship there a couple of weeks ago, I have been to big corporate meetings, I have taken on 4 accounts of my own, and I am assisting in the organizing and planning of HUGE corporate fundraising events. It makes me feel important, although it also makes me sick to my stomach since I am such a "Nervous Nelly!" I hope I can handle it all! :-)

Oh yeah! I have been having some tests run lately with my dr. The dr. office left a message yesterday for me to call them, but I haven't gotten a chance to call them back. Anyway, I am able to read my lab tests online and I know that they are going to put me on meds for my thyroid. It seems I have an underactive thyroid (which, Hallelujah could be causing me grief with my weight, and now it can be controlled!) So, yet a new adventure with Kaiser Permanente is about to occur! Wish me luck!
