It's a busy time of the year

I've been rather m.i.a lately, and I apologize girls!

I can't believe the school semester is almost over and for me, that means my semester of student teaching is coming to an end...in THREE DAYS to be exact :/ I will be leaving my lovely first graders on Wednesday. I have been busy baking goodies for the faculty and staff & gathering little gifts for the kiddos. On top of all of that, I am applying for grad. school. Crazy. Yes, I know. I am such a stubborn person, I really will refuse to let anything stand in my way.

Now, do I feel like hell all weekend and when I get home every night. Yes.
Do I definitely over do it sometimes. Yes.
Do I have a social life? Ummm, NO!
but am I okay with that? YES!

I love what I am doing and furthering my education is so very important to me. I want to tackle everything now, so in one year, I can settle down and do what I want. Who knows where life may take you in the future...

I have three doctors appointments coming up! My breathing is getting rather out of control. Even laying in bed, breathing can be difficult :/ I am seeing a sleep specialist this week & getting a sleep study done sometime this month to get evaluated for narcolepsy and sleep apnea. Next, I have an appointment this week to learn how to give myself b12 injections. I pray this hopes with my exhaustion. Last, in January I have my appointment with a "new" Pulmonologist. (I have seem two before and no one can agree and have differing opinions)... this doctor is supposed to be the best in my area and so I hope it's worth the wait!

Overall, I think I have been pushing myself a little too hard, but I'm still pushing on - so I can't complain too much.

Cheyanne: THANK YOU SO MUCH for the lovely gift. I don't know if you know this but owls are my ultimate favorite :) You have no idea how much that made my day!! Have any of you had chest pain like I am describing? I believe so. I have pleurisy and that sounds just like what you are describing! My mom also struggles with pleurisy.

Hannah: Girls, I agree with Hannah. If you have not given out your address, I would encourage you to do so! I know it can be scary sometimes as meeting people via the internet is sketchy sometimes, but I assure you we are all mean well! Receiving mail and letter from all these lovely girls really makes my day! What is your favorite thing to do during Christmas time? Honestly, listening to instrumental music and baking! I love, love, love Christmas music and baking watching the snow fall :) P.S. I need to get some advice from you lady about all of your natural health knowledge!!!

Rhianne: Do you have any brothers or sisters? No :/ I'm an only child and grew up with just my dear Mother and also lived with my Grandma as well. I always wished I had a sibling and was jealous of everyone who did. I still am bummed at times about it! Do you believe in natural health? I think that natural health and what we do/how we treat our bodies has a huge impact on our overall health and well-being!

Miranda: Hope all is well and hang it there!! :)

Take care and enjoy these weeks before Christmas!
