Sleepytime

Yes, I know. It has been a few months since I last posted. EPIC FAIL! I guess I'm just not that good at keeping up with this, or I have an entirely too boring life.

Ok, so here's what's been going on. My second year teaching is completed! Yay! I am rehired for my third also. :)   It has been a very busy year. I committed to working out starting last December. I joined a boot camp style workout facility and I absolutely LOVE it. That has been keeping my nights filled with kettlebells, resistance bands and pushups. Those are just a few of the things we do. However, I took a week off (ok, maybe it was more like a week and a half off) from working out because by the time school was ending I was just too exhausted to do ANYTHING. I have a second job and so I hadn't had a day off from BOTH jobs since Easter.

I took some time off from my second job because the end of school is a little stressful. I had one week off in between school and starting summer school. Job number 3? Enter MONO. I went to a wedding and was hot. I hadn't been feeling great but I thought it was allergies. Wedding day turned into birthday for a good friend. Couldn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to because it was just so dang hot and I had a sore throat. Pansy, I know. I felt like one. Well, I woke up the next day feeling horrible and I had a fever. Monday, start of summer school...and worse fever. On top of starting summer school and being sick....I was house sitting for a friend. Job number 4? I. Never. Get. A. Break.

Fever persisted, even though I was on antibiotics (I didn't know it was mono yet. Had gone to the doctor and he thought strep). Fever got worse...I kept teaching. I sweat the bed at night; kept teaching. Finally, I got a substitute because I felt so miserable. And no matter how old I get, I still want my mommy to take care of me and make me feel better when I'm sick. And even if she does nothing but talk to me, I feel better.

After a trip to the ER (which was where I was diagnosed with mono), I finally started to feel better. I don't know if anyone who reads this has ever had mono, but it is not fun. I only ended up taking one day off from teaching and I slept A LOT. And you know I was sick because I had no appetite.

While my sickness was starting and ending, I have also been looking at buying houses. I have a great realtor (whom I've now known for ten years and I absolutely this person) I love looking at houses but it is a little stressful buying a first home. It is a HUGE investment and just another step to me being independent, yet single for a long time. I felt like when I got my job teaching I was officially an adult, but I think once I buy a house, then I will really feel like an adult...and old. And speaking of old, it is now my 26th birthday as I type this (and can't sleep even though I am exhausted). I am on the downward slope to 30. Ahh!

I will leave you now as I am getting many facebook birthday wishes from sweet friends and former students. I have some pretty amazing people in my life and I just need to learn to stay away from the negative ones right?


Hopefully my next post will come sooner than 2 months from now. :)

Also, I just realized that my post was going to start out with how sleepy I am and yet I can't sleep and it completely went off on other tangents. I apologize.
