Cold Football Fun

Our local football team went to the play-offs.  What a fun time we had! It was very cold, had me wishing for my foot warmer electric but we got through it.  Getting one of those seats that have warmers in it is on my list of things to buy for the 2014 football season.

I am NOT a sports fan at all but our local high school football team (where my kids attend) makes it so fun to watch. Who would have thought I'd like football?

Not me.

Now I need finger warmers too.

Waiting Job Opportunities

My husband may have a new job opportunity with his current employer.  It's actually a pay cut (no overtime) but it'd be a great learning experience for his future. The hours are perfect for our family as well.  We have our *fingers crossed* this comes through!

There was another job he thought about with his current employer but they required welding and he hasn't welded all that much. I think they provide the supplies for that position which isn't too bad. I know some companies require you bring your own tools. He looked up some information at atl welding supplies to price just in case, but I think he'd be covered.

If the new opportunity doesn't come through, we may move back home.

Musical Geniuses

Yes, my kids are and I'm not shy about saying it. They get it from their dad.

I am looking at a little Luna guitar for my daughter for Christmas. It is so pretty. It's a little 3/4 size guitar called 'Starry Night'. It's very pretty.

We don't have any bass players in this house so I was thinking about an exceptional spector bass for one of our kids. I don't think my stepson would enjoy it but perhaps my son would. He plays drums so he definitely can keep rhythm. His drumline show last week at his high school was fantastic. I love watching him in the drumline. Perhaps he'd like to learn bass as well.

Endocrinologists

I am at the doctor's for my asthma this morning and she feels my neck, notices how enlarged the thyroid area is and asks me if I see an endocrinologist. Pfft. Aw, heck no. I stay WAYYYYY the heck away from those.

I've found the best doctors for my thyroid have been regular family doctors who are willing to listen to me, willing to acknowledge my symptoms and treat according to symptom.

I'll likely never see another endocrinologist - EVER. Nothing but bad luck seeing them and YEARS of feeling terrible because they didn't treat my thyroid disease right.
