The Boob Saga continues....

I love my family. After learning that there would be more tests and whatnot to find out what the ‘spot on the film’ is all about, my sister and I had a conversation through chat. 

Me:  so...don't know if you read my blog, but boob visit #3 is 
coming up

My sister: yup

that's exciting

screw it... for now... because even if it is the whole C thing, they have really cool treatments for that, you get to wear pink ribbons, and then declare yourself a survivor when you beat it... then think of how even more inspirational you will be...

bright side...
And the wigs are AWESOME!! I would be jealous just 
because of the whole wig and crazy things you could do to cover up your head


then you might get a job as a teacher in a children’s hospital... because they have them...

yup, I'm thinking it's all good.

See, now aren't you going to be disappointed if everything comes back negative?

oops, maybe I should have said 'when' everything comes back negative.

Today the phone call came that I needed to have a biopsy done. I immediately sent out a text to my family. (Why call one at a time when I can send out a text saying the same thing to all of them at once?)

Me: Biopsy on June 30th.  Let the fun begin.

Mom: A prayer day.

Dad: Urgh… U will be in our thoughts…Let me know if u need anything…Love you! (I love how my dad has taken on text-speak.)

My sister: Woo Hoo!!! Just remember how cool it would be to 
wear a rainbow wig.

I have no idea what will come of the biopsy. I have not once asked, “Why me?” I am taking it all in stride. You can bet I will be wearing my tassels for my next appointment. I plan on having fun with it and focusing on the bright side of things as much as possible. It may turn out to be nothing. Then again, it may turn out to be another chapter of my life’s story.  

In other news, I had three schools call me today for interviews.

WABDR: Section 1

Section 1  We end at the beginning  Does it feel like this trip will never end? Epic adventures tend to last a bit longer than just an average one. So….on with our tale.  We got our bikes all packed up and continued over White Pass. The first time we went over it, it was a cloudy day. Thus, the visibility of the mountains was not much. I was expecting the same on our return trip to Packwood. Therefore, it took my breath away when I saw the mountain off in the distance for the first time. The beauty was so overwhelming, I teared up.    I continued to watch the mountain until I could see it no more. Soon we were in Packwood. Back where we started. After a quick breakfast at the local coffee shop, we were on our way. I may have taken a few minutes to ride the big bike first… Not too long though, because someone was ready to get moving.  Jennifer had some friends that were camping at Walupt Lake, which is right on the trail for Sectio...

An Easter Lesson

I decided that this break I was going to stay home and spend the week doing things I have not done or haven't done in awhile. It all began Thursday night with Ballroom Dancing, which will continue on Monday and Thursday with lessons. Saturday, I bought a couple of new outfits. Today brought both something I hadn't done in awhile and something new. Today, I went to church which was pretty cool in itself. I went with someone I just met the day before. (I am sure that is no surprise to any of you who know me.) We made plans to meet up at church. It was different from any church I had been in before. The chairs were set up "in the round." There was no piano or organ to accompany our singing. People were in and out throughout the 90 minute service. No surprise, the place was packed. The service was your typical protestant service, minus the organ, of course. It had been awhile since my friend had been to church. Many in the congregation flocked to him at the end to gi...

A New Direction?

The war of uncertainty inside my head was raging as I walked into school yesterday to pack up my belongings. What will happen for the kids I took under my wing? Who will advocate for them? What is next for me? Will I be able to find a job close to home? Is it time to change careers? Do I need to start teaching to the test more blatantly? I met teachers along the way. Telling them my news and saying goodbye. Well wishes and affirmation that I am a good teacher. Due to the fact I didn’t have the opportunity to tell my students, the hardest person to break the news to was the guidance counselor. I don’t know if she is aware of it, but she was my rock throughout the year. After the tears were shed, she asked if I ever taught in an inner-city school. She began to describe her vision of me in that setting. I saw it. I felt it. Later, the assistant principal mentioned something similar. Throughout the day, tears came and went as the voices inside my head began to change their tune. Ma...
