"Nucular" Woman

Okey dokey! So now I am emitting little invisible doses of radiation. Or "nucular" as G.W.B. was famous for saying. I took my radioactive iodine pill yesterday at the hospital and now all I have to do is lay low for a few days and no kissing with the hubby. :( No, i dont feel any different. I only need one dose and it doesnt make me feel sick. The best kind of cancer treatment! I am sleeping in the spare bedroom and I have to make sure and wipe down anything that is potentially contaminated. My toilet has never been so clean! It gets a regular wiping down several times a day! Drink, pee, drink, pee, repeat.

Good news is I finally get started on my synthroid now and I got my first dose today. Yay! I may as yet get back to feeling normal again, sometime........whatever normal was. At least I know where the bottom is and I survived. My goal now is one year from now to be stronger and leaner.

 True Joy when children choose to live good lives. 

 My cute daughter Kari went to the Temple for her Endowments yesterday. (you can find more info on Temples at www.mormon.org) So pleased at her commitments to keep on the right path. Gina was her surrogate mom for me. Thanks sweetheart. I love you both. Kari and Jonathan will be doing their sealing in about a month and I will look forward to being there with them for that.

 My cute son Evan submitted the first part of his mission papers this last week. He will make an awesome missionary! It's hard to believe that my little boy is already at this step. How did this happen so fast? I'm so excited for him.

 Gina and BJ have a happy little family that is blooming. Kenley is a chatty 2 yr old. Can't wait to give her lots of gramma hugs in a few weeks.

 Chris and Kari working hard and loving each other. They have plans and goals they are working to accomplish. (chris....you got a true angel wife) I am such a lucky mom to have been blessed with the privilege to be a part of these lives.

I love you all so much.
