Overdue: What the hell have I been up to?
Well, I know I've been MIA- I read LJ everyday, I just never write. It's funny- I still feel close to everyone because I know what you guys are doing. That makes me feel good at least. I love having summers off but there's always something to do! I am know providing Extended School Year Services for students at the local hospital. Two students with Autism- we're practicing appropriate social skills by delivering flowers. It's very interesting. They enjoy it, I think. Either way, it helps get them back in the swing of things for school before school begins.
Got my schedule for new teacher orientation- we have to have a new teacher breakfast and tour of lynchburg. Ghetto. Of course, I might not be the youngest person there but I'll look like it :P This fall, Sam and I will start trying to get preggers. Yep- I'm ready to be a mom. Things are coming together. I have the job, working on my master's and now I want a baby. I didn't think I'd be ready but I am SO ready. I guess its because people around me are in the baby boom. And, I've always said I wanted to start by the time I was 24. I don't want to be an old mom if I can help it :) If everything goes well, we want to have 2. My doctor's are pretty confident- I have to take blood thinner shots to avoid a miscarriage from the Lupus clotting factor. But, I work out 5 times a week (3x TaeBo, 2x Yoga or 1 Yoga, 1 Walking), I eat mostly healthy. I mean, I still have some sweets, and eat out fast food occassionally, but I get kids meals instead of big meals. I've gained some weight back BUT, a lot is muscle because my clothes still fit except for my super buff legs. I am ripped. My legs and butt are muscular. WOOHOO.And then I'll get preggers and be all rolly polly. But you know, I figure starting out healthy gives me a better chance. I can diet later.
My psych wanted me to take no classes this year. I cut down to 1 this fall and 1 this spring because I still need to get my licensure, duh. He's such a loser. I know he thinks he knows me- and yes, he knows about my chemical imbalance issues but, I doubt I'd go nutso. He also says that I need to watch our for postpardon depression. Which, I understand since one of Sam's friends that has no psych issues had a severe case and had to go to the hospital for a couple days. It's just weird how the chemical changes post pregnancy change everything.
I think that's all- read the new Harry Potter and reading a bunch of other books. Addicted to Hell's Kitchen and Gordon Ramsay. Love to watch his show on BBC America as well. He's kind of cute...he's Scottish, not british so it's allowed ;)
Rach- I AM SO JEALOUS! You say RCR and you're swing dancing. BLAH!! I'd totally go with you if I was up there. I really hope that some of yall can come visit. I feel so secluded down here. I did meet another teacher that actually lives down the street and has our sense of humor. I need to try and hang with her- she seems cool. I just hope that you all know I love you and I will ALWAYS consider you my group of friends, even if I'm not around. It's rare to find crazy people like myself.. I was thinking about Hoyts the other day and the mexicans sleeping behing the standees and the cleaning crew saying "Hi Julia (Hulia...)"... we had some fun those 2 years.
Ah well, keep being crazy up there. Maybe Rach you can come down and teach me some swing moves!!
Hugs and Kisses YO.
