Where/Who Am I?

So for those three or four people who actually read my blog, here is an update! :) I know that in my last blog, I had mentioned that I started my low iodine diet and I was feeling pretty good. Well, that has taken a DRASTIC turn, I feel absolutely AWFUL! I never realized how little there was to eat on this diet and how much I was going to have to cook! It is exhausting just thinking about what I am going to eat. If I never eat another peach again, it'll be too soon!lol

I have never quite been in this place before and so I am not sure how to handle it. I am sooooo tired that all I want to do is lay in bed, not to mention that I am really depressed. I guess that you could say that I am feeling sorry for myself right now, but I also can't seem to control it. I was excited at the beginning of starting my diet because I figured that it was going to be pretty easy and I would lose some lbs! Little did I know, that because I am not on my medication, that I suffer all of the symptoms of Hypothyroidism: depression, fatigue, constipation, weight gain, etc...... that would be a check, check, check and check. I was so looking forward to snacking on Superbowl Sunday, but I guess that'll have to wait til next year! I only have two more days left and let me tell you, they will be the longest two days of my life! I am looking forward to getting back on my medication and being happy, energetic, and hopefully those lbs will fall off (?) but most of all looking forward to getting back to be a normal wife and mother. I just want to carry my kids up the stairs without having to stop every few steps because I am so tired. Or just to be able to pick up Alex when he needs some lovin without having to say, "mommy can't lift you because I don't have the strength."

Thankfully, I have been blessed with such an amazing support system. I don't know what I would do without my wonderful husband. He has had to do it all for the last week and a half. I bet he never thought he'd be Mr. Mom/Betty Crocker/Therapist/School Bus Driver! He has been my rock and I love him more than ever. So, thank you to the world's best father and husband. I love you.

My Mom has also been a huge help. She has been here over the weekend to help out and she is a huge help with the boys. They love to play with her and so when she is here, Alex doesn't seem to worry so much. Roland's Mom will be coming next week while I am away, (at the "Radiance Spa"), to help out. I am very lucky to have such a great support system. Well, I feel like I have been rambling on and being a boob, so that's it!
