My doctors appointment went ok yesterday.  Dean had taken a 1/2 day off so he could watch the kids for me since it was after Caleb got out of school so I didnt want to pay the sitter $15/hour, we agreed I’d pay $10 for up to two kids, but she said if it was ever all three it would $15/hour, and for me to go to the dr that’s absurd so I made Dean take off.   But…he took Zeke to his PT appt and got home after picking up Caleb up from school around 2:50.  my appt was for 3:30.  He thought he could go to his dads work, leaving me w/ all three kids so he could borrow his dad’s new scooter(like a motorcyle but smaller) to drive around the neighborhood, I told him it wasnt a good idea but he didnt listen to me.  he had 20 minutes to go to his dads work and be home so I could leave for the dr.  he got home at 3:22 and I was leaving w/ the kids w/ me.  I let caleb jump out but didnt want to waste any more time getting the other two out of their carseats, so took Bo & Zeke w/ me.  I was 10 minutes late for my appt.  I was beyond mad.   Anyway…the kids did great for me at the drs office thankfully.

the dr said I’m doing great if I can keep exercising as much and she knew just by looking at me that I’d lost weight, which was nice.   she said she knows it will make me more tired now but in the long run it will help me, plus she’s very concerned that I have an enzyme/metabolic disorder as well which is causing the gout and that causes a lot of weight issues itself so losing weight is something I need to do.   so being active and losing weight should help both problems.  she did some labwork and I go back in a month to get it redone since we’re changing my meds some.  trying to figure out the enzyme/metabolic disorder stuff.   I dont need any more problems, so I’m going to keep trying to exercise, but I am so exhausted!!  I napped some yesterday thankfully but then we went out last night to play tennis and that really hurt my arms.  I went to the Y this morning and i was already dragging so w/ the heat and the busy day I am dreading the late afternoon. hopefully it will be quiet around here.      I so wish I could lay down but bo wont nap and I have to wake Zeke up soon so he can eat then head to get Bo to PT to get fitted for his orthotics.  everyday it’s something!   the only day I dont have anything other than exercise scheduled is Friday this week.     no wonder I”m so tired!!  😉
