While driving home tonight, I heard a piece that I remember performing in very vividly. I performed for many years with the Murray Symphony and Chorus in the percussion section. The piece that I heard was the Polovetsian Dances from the opera "Prince Igor" by Alexander Borodin. Lots of percussion...lots of timing issues and I remember the conductor cursing us sometimes because we would miss a beat and throw everyone off. Love the piece...hated performing it!
I had my doctor's appointment today. Blood draws on Thursday...start progesterone as soon as Thursday...follow up appointment on the 15th. I'm a bit nervous about this BUT I'm ready to find out what's going on with my body and get it fixed!
Lately, I have been in a classical/opera mood and I've been loving it! Maybe it's because I'm needing the calmness a bit more these days. :D
I'm off to bed...another long day tomorrow! Ciao!
About Me
- Michele McKay
- I love to watch sappy movies, listen to classical, opera and country music. I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan which I think annoys my family but OH WELL!!! ;) I am married and have 2 daughters who are the loves of my life. We also have 2 cats and a dog who keep us on our toes! I love to make cards and scrapbook. I love to do projects for others so if you ever want a set of cards or a scrapbook made for you, let me know!!!

So...some updates on the family.
Sheridan had her Parent Teacher meetings Thursday night. She is doing amazingly well in all of her classes. She needs to get a few assignments turned in on Monday but other than that, she's doing wonderfully! I guess the "incentive" to get A's has worked!
Sheridan also called me at work on Thursday and told me that she was chosen as one of two 8th grade officers for MESA. She is just soooo excited about it! Her friend, Kenzie, is the other officer so there will be a lot of giggling and goofiness about!
After Parent-Teachers on Thursday, she had a Parent Night for MESA. We were told about the activities that they will be doing this year. Sounds like sooo much fun!
Can't wait to see how she does! I'm sooo very proud of her!
Hannah's doing great in school. I'm sure there won't be anything surprising when I meet with her teacher.
Hannah's new hobby is going to the shooting ranges with her Dad. She amazes me. She hates loud noises but loves to shoot guns. Go figure!
Today, David is taking Sheridan with him to go shooting with his dad and brothers. She loves shooting too. When David comes home, he's going to take Hannah to another range to shoot there...they have bathrooms...the other one doesn't. :D She is looking soooo forward to it!!!
I am meeting with a Hormone Replacement doctor on Monday to have some tests done. I'm not feeling normal lately...having meltdowns more often than I care to, my kids annoy me with just about everything that they do and say and I find that things set me off way too easily. I'm already taking anti-depressants, have had the doses changed and still, no change. SOOOOO....my wonderful hubby who works with hormones on a daily basis and knows the symptoms fairly well, talked to some of his peers at work and they all agree that maybe Michele needs a little boost or adjustment in the hormone area. So...Monday we will see what the doc says! Crossing my fingers!!!
In the meantime, I am going to TRY to work on my cards today. So many things are happening around me that I feel like I have ADHD some times! I sit down to work and then I get up and do other things and forget all about them!
Well...maybe I will fold laundry first so David doesn't step on them when he walks into the room and then, I will get to work on the cards.
Have a wonderful day!!!

So, I THINK I may FINALLY know what has got me all a "tither" these days. David showed me a news story that was done about hormone replacement therapy and the doctors who are for it and against it. Listening to the story and reading up on it (PLUS listening to David talk about it) makes me think that maybe I have a hormone deficiency. I have a lot of the symptoms of someone who has a low hormone level so I'm thinking that MAYBE I need to seek some professional guidance. Doctors visit is Monday morning...we'll see what he says! HOPEFULLY he will be able to prescribe something to help me feel better about things. :)
Sheridan called me at work this afternoon and told me that she made one of the 8th grade MESA officers. She is sooo excited. She really seems to love MESA (it stands for MATH, ELECTRONICS and SCIENCE ASSOCIATION...I think ) and she has learned a lot from the instructors as well as her friends. :)
Hannah called me 20 minutes before school ended today and told me that she feels like she has the stomach flu. NOT GOOD!!! I soo don't want sick kids! We went to Macey's to pick up some crackers and a soda for her tummy and ended up picking up more than that. Pulled pork and Doritos. Cheap. Easy to make. Pleases all who eat it. Very filling. CHEAP!!!
Sheridan is at her church volleyball game. I'm sitting her droning on about things and waiting for her to get home so we can go to parent teachers tonight. HURRY UP KIDDO!!! :D
I guess I had better make sure I'm presentable. Don't want the teachers to get the wrong impression... LOL! NIGHT!!!

Today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. We are looking forward to going to a party tonight at Mike and Terri's and seeing how everyone does with their "new" language. Should be pretty funny!
This morning is Hannah's first "Mommy/Daughter Date" for the Activity Days girls. She is sooo excited and has been so worried that something will come up that will not allow us to make it. She just needs to chiiiiiiillllllllllllllllll!
Arrrrrghhhhhhhhh ye matey, walk the plank!
Time to go get dressed and get us out of here! Later!

Growing up with younger sisters (no brothers) was quite the experience. There was hair pulling, teasing, fighting, name calling, etc. We had many black eyes, fat lips and bruises to match the butt chewing we would get from our mom when she found out what had happened. So, here I am...sitting here listening to my girls upstairs fighting and I'm wondering...WHY???
I'm wondering WHY do girls fight....what makes them not want to get along....who said that giving girls lots and lots of hormones so that the mood swings were CrAzY was a good thing???? GEEEZZZ!!!! I just don't get it.
Anywhoo...I love my girls and maybe, just MAYBE one day, they will love to NOT fight!
Enough talking about the extra curricular activities of my children. It's time for updates!
Life around the McKay home is busy. David is working hard and works extra hours as needed. He has found a new hobby so when he isn't working, he spends time doing that. The girls are back to school and both now have activities at the church (Hannah just turned 8 last month and Sheridan is almost 14) after school so they are staying occupied. Work for me is STILL nutso but it's keeping me sane so it's all good.
Last year, we remodeled our home. We gutted the upstairs bathroom and kitchen and completely remodeled those rooms. We finished the basement which gave David and I some space to do our things (David has a big desk where he can work on the bills, browse the internet and learn all about his new hobby) and I have the other side of room for all of my craft materials and desks. I'm in the process of starting a card business so having my space is sooo helpful! :D Anyways...we also finished the bathroom downstairs, put in a new deck (a MUST!) and had vinyl siding put on the house. YAY!!! It's no longer a big, green house!
Well, I need to take off and make sure things get done before the kids head off to bed. Night!!!
