**I'm pretty much done with myself today. I set the alarm for 5 am, and it took 9 hits on the snooze button, which translates to 4 1/2 hours, to finally get up.
**I went to the doctor yesterday to have blood drawn. We're a bit suspicious that I have a sluggish thyroid, which would explain all this crazy sleepiness of mine. I'm tired of sleeping 12 hours, waking up and being ready for a nap an hour later.
**Yesterday I also went to the orthodontist for my consultation on braces. Do you know that they wouldn't even quote me a price until they ran my credit? What kind of BS is that?
**Coke Rewards, you'd better give me back those points you took away, or I'm gonna have to stop drinking your sweet nectar. I'm not playing around; I'm flippin' mad.
**Diet Dr. Pepper, I'm almost completely yours now.

**Need to let off some steam, ladies? It's Friday which means it's time to party at VGNO! So if you're around this evening, stop over there and join in.
*****
**Bless this nation today, September 11th, and always.

That is so wrong of the ortho - find another one. So, if you have bad credit will it be a higher price or won't they work with you?
Why would you want to get up at 5am anyways?
NINE snooze button hits? That's pretty impressive, actually...I think the most I've done so far are 3. Of course the times I accidentally hit 'off' then wake up way too late probably count... ;)
Oh, man - good luck with your thyroid. I've been having sleepy issues, too, but can't blame the thyroid (since I recently had it checked), guess that means that I really do need to get to bed earlier than I have been...(grin!)
WHAT? They run your credit before they give you a quote? How do you know it's a 'legitimate' one vs. a 'Ahhh, she can afford to overpay - give her the highest quote!' Does make you wonder...
Coke Rewards took away points? I guess I better log into mine and see if they stole any there...I have a zillion codes to enter, do I need to bother? :)
Happy FF and VGNO! ;)
hope your thyroid problem gets worked out... that does not sound good at all...
have a wonderful friday!!
Good luck with your throid..
I do wake up early too..like 6.30am. 5 am is too early for me ;-)
have a great friday!
I get checked for thryoid yearly because I have those same symptoms, but it never comes back off... dont get it...
The dentist did the same thing to me before they fixed my broken tooth... nice...sigh...
What happened with your coke reward points? I've got so many... I need to use them because I'm afraid somethings going to happen & they're going to disappear one day too!!!
Oh, make the move over to Diet Doc. You won't regret it! (YUM!)
Hope your thyroid is okay. :)
Happy Friday!
Maybe I have thyroid issues. I feel tired all the time too!
Uh, ,I think I would find another ortho. That seems super suspicious to me!
Also what is up with my coke rewards, where did your points go? And why are all of the prizes significantly less desirable then last year?
I hope they figure out what is wrong with your thyroid.
I had braces when I was 26. All I have to say is wear your retainer or you will need braces again when you are 50.
( snoze button hits has got to be some kind of record! I ha to move my alram clock to a dresser 3 feet from the bed so I am forced to get up!
I hope they figure out what the sleep issue is. That would be terribly annoying and inconvenient.
Also, I have been to two different dentists who sit you down in a special little room to talk about how you will be able to pay for any service that they possilby might ever do for you. I never went back to those dentists again. We have great insurance and pay for everything the insurance doens't cover. I find that type of practice truly insulting. There are so many orthodontists and dentists out there surely you can find another one who is more about the patient than about the patient's money. Seriously.
I had blood drawn yesterday too. Got the results back on the lipid panel (not a happy camper today because of it), just waiting to see what else they tests. My thyroid likes to go in and out of whack so it'll be no surprise if it's out again.
Time to find a new ortho my friend! Who wants to have braces anyway???
Tell your thyroid to F off, that's what I do.
It never really works.
i have the same sleeping problems. it's all i wanna do.
hope the test might tell you something.
I hope they figure out what's causing you to be so tired. Having little energy is NO FUN !!! As for the credit check BEFORE a price quote, that's ridiculous !!! I've never heard of that before. My heart goes out to all the families affected by 9/11, such a tragic day.
I hope the tests come back all clear. I wish I was sleepy more. I can easily stay awake for 24-36 hours, sleep 8, and be up with no problem. I don't do that often, but I have done it a lot.
They wouldn't consult you until they ran your credit!? Those money hungry jerks.
Happy FF!
Ok, that is just plain odd that your Ortho did that. How many people get braces and then bolt without paying? It is kind of important to keep getting adjustments!!
I hope you figure out why you are so tired. I suffer from fatigue too and I know what a horrible feeling it is to be tired ALL of the time.
Hope you feel better and for the results to be ok.
They run credit for BRACES?!? Who in the...? What, they think you'll skip out on payments? Why don't they just not remove them till you pay them off? Ugh.
I would get a new orthodontist.
I don't think I've ever hit snooze 9 times. I'm more likely to pull a sickie and turn the damn thing off!
I hope things get all worked out with your thyroid that can be a real bugger to deal with. At least it's Friday. Maybe we can all start fresh after a good weekend.
UH OH! DH works for Coke... what happened?!
You've had a rough day!! Have a glass of wine and get yourself into a bath...stat:-)
Hoping for good results on the blood draw. Send some of that extra sleep my way, I cant seem to find it around here
I wish my toddler came with a snooze alarm.
Hope the test results are useful.
I hope the doctor figures out what's going on. I'm doing the same thing.
I'm tired all of the time too! Maybe we ought to slow down a bit doing for everyone else. Hmmmm.....Let me know if the doctor can write a script for that one! ;)
I have decided I forgive you for the whole old navy thing and left you a making up gift on my site!
Your alarm clock snoozes for 30 minutes? Wow...I want one of those! Mine only does 9min!
Can't believe about the ortho - it's not like you're buying a Mercedes!! I just bought some diet cherry Dr. Pepper at the store - can't wait to try it!
Wild times getting braces. That is so different. Have a great weekend. Did the alarm clock make it?
It might just be the change in the weather patterns. I have been really sleepy lately, just like you described!
The snooze alarm has been too good a friend to me this week too!!
Just stoppin' in from Ann's VGNO!
I can't believe they checked your credit before they gave you a quote. That is insane.
Hm...the whole orthodontist things sounds bizarre...I've never heard of that before?
And I'm sorry you're so tired, hon! I'm tired...but it's bc I stay up WAY too late on the computer and wake up WAY too early w/the kids :)
What's up w/Coke Rewards?! I swear--I had a lot of points and then when I was pg with Madelyn I didn't drink any so I didn't log in until recently and I had zero?? Maybe I did use them all and just don't remember. Hm.
Hope you have a FUN weekend :)
Like the price is going to change depending on your credit. Do they sell cars too?
I just joined the whole Coke Rewards thing and now they're taking points away? I was thinking it's gonna take me forever to get anywhere with those points at this rate, but if they take points away, I give up.
I know the power is strong, but the Diet coke must win out. It must.
I've been on thyroid meds for year and years. Don't know if it helps me really, but I wouldn't want to imagine being MORE tired than I already am.
and I'm sooooo with you on that snooze button!
I had a sleepy problem kind of like that, and they ran blood tests a few different times, and told me that according to the tests, I am 100% okay and they have no idea what is wrong. It comes and goes, so sometimes I am not tired and sometimes I am. Weird. Hopefully you get your issue all figured out!!
give up Coke..never.
i couldnt wake up today and I don't have a sluggish thyroid. Just lazy i guess.
Can you look for a different ortho..seems unethical.
xx
Just stoppin by to say TGIF! What VGNO? I love to party and I'm def. ready after the week I had!
Credit check? Buh-bye...
I'd get more estimates. They can vary a lot!
Happy VGNO and have a great weekend!
I sure hope they get to the bottom of your thyroid problem. My mom had hers removed a couple of years ago, and my BF has suffered with thyroid disease for years.
STopping over from VGNO!!! Sorry you are so sluggish!!
I'd try another orthodontist!
As for the Diet Dr. Pepper, it's got me too!
That's crazy about the ortho. I guess he's adjusting to the economic times.
I understand the being tired all the time. Hope you find the cause and solution soon.

Take this test to see if you need to have your hormone's tested!
I was exhausted all the time...

Oh, how I would love to hit that snooze button at least once.
Passing through to check out your blog. I like the random posts. Stop by and say hi. :)
The ortho thing sucks,,,What happened to the coke rewards????
I think Kaish needs braces. I am VERY excited about adding that bill to our monthlies.... : )
Noted...don't go to orthodontists. Waste of time.
41/2 hrs of snooze... that's pretty impressive
one of my cousins have thyroid problem..it sucks..
hugs and love

I want your snooze button! My thyroid was off - so I purchased the Rx which then made it worse - in the other direction - hypo- so then I stopped taking the Rx and then my thyroid was completely normal. Go Figure. And yet I am still tired.
Hope the doc is able to help you out.
Sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well! I'm saying a prayer for you, girl.
I have never heard of an ortho checking your credit first. When our youngest went for his consult about having his wisdom teeth pulled at the oral surgeon's office, we had to pay half of the fee before they would even schedule the appointment, and on the day of the surgery had to pay the other half before they pulled his teeth!
Feel better soon!
Hope they get you figured out soon. Thyroid problems can cause a lot of issues with the body.
Keep you in my prayers.
Happy VGNO
Friday's are definitely fragmented!
I've never been to the VGNO...I'm heading over there now.
Sleep apnea could also be the cause, if you find that it isn't your thyroid. Whatever it is, I certainly hope that you get it figured out.
as of this week, i've also become a diet dr. pepper-er. (is that a word?)
snooze button: my kind of life
doctor: ugh, thyroid issues, i'm still trying to figure mine out too, hope yours is figured out soon :)
ortho: seriously? run your credit? are they on crack?
g' nite! :)
I hope everything is okay with your thyroid, WAKE UP!
Seriously though, WTF is up with the CokeRewards? Awhile back I was logging in all the points I had. At the rate that I drink Coke thats a whole lotta points. I got busy for a while and then when I went back in those biznatches dropped my points to zero! I never logged another point again I was so pissed. I don't have the strength to ban my crack supplier though, I don't know what I would do if I had to make it through the day without my sweet, sweet Cherry Coke.
my wife had half her thyroid removed the week before our wedding. she was onmeds toregulate it for years...until recently. hope it clears up.
that is totally wrong with the ortho...
hope you have a great weekend!
Honey...next time just shut the alarm. Your sleep is getting interupted:)
I'm thinking the ortho office is committing some type of fraud. That just doesn't seem right>:(
My Husband prefered to work with Pepsi points when it was going on. He felt like he had more choices.
Hope the blood test come back okay:)
I cannot begin to tell you how much I love coming to your blog! I try to save it for last b/c I know I will always get a laugh!!! :)
Well, I know health issues aren't really funny, but sorry...I DID laugh, lol!
Hope they find out whatever it is that's ailin ya! Wow, that's a lot of sleep!
Maybe you're drinking too much Coke, lol.
Good luck on your blood tests, WOW~
They had to run your credit first?! Bizarre!
Hope you get some answers from your dr.
When I took my boys to the dentist for the first time last year, he told me to start saving for braces. Since my husband and I both had them, I guess it makes sense they would too.
My mom and my sister both have problems with their thryoid. They are both on medication and feel much better.
I've heard that some places run your credit because it determines if they want to finance you(if you have good credit) or whether they want to farm it to an agency they use. Sleeping a long stretch can be good for you when you wake refreshed but certainly not if you wake still tired. Has to be very frustrating. I'm sorry & I hope they get to the bottom of it quickly. ~Mary
They have to run your credit for braces??? WTH? So, if you have bad credit, you get to keep you jacked up teeth too?
P.S. I'm no way implying that your teeth are jacked up:)
Hugs and Mocha,
Stesha
That's really stupid that they wouldn't even give you a quote until they ran your credit! What kind of BS is that?!
I hope that you can pin down what's making you tired. I think I need to go in and get my thyroid meds adjusted again, it's just a pain when it doesn't work properly *L*
That is so dumb that the ortho wouldn't give you a quote until they checked your credit!
Good luck with your thyroid...
and your sleepiness.
ran your credit... but then again you are in Michigan enough said
77 comments!? How do you keep up? Wow. You're famous :) Thanks for playing FF this week.
It must be really tough to be so exhausted all the time! This Friday was a tough one for me, too, but I don't have a thyroid problem; just a stay-up-too-late problem! There is no way I could get 12 hours a night; I'd have to sleep til 11! :)
I need/want braces too, but fear that once I go in for the consult, I'll be hooked... Until I hear the price, at which time I'll cry. =)
What's up with Coke Rewards? Didn't hear anything about issues? I'm a Dr. Pepper girl, so I'd go with the Diet DP if I were you anyway. =)
