Is there a real reason to title this?

I made it through another week, who knew! I seriously did not think I was going to make it through this week. I went to the doctor on Wednesday and I have a blood blister in my ear. The doctor hadn't ever seen it before. So I now have meds for it. But then on Thursday I looked down at my throat and there is something back there. I think I have strep too. I really hate being sick, but I hate not being able to take some time and recoup from it even more.

Tomorrow I've got church, Sunday School, Youth Group, and planning at school. Monday is the 100th day of school, party time in kindergarten.

I'm already counting down til the end of the school year. How bad is that? There are 16 weeks left not including spring break. I think I am going to Idaho for Easter. I would go crazy staying here for 10 days and no work. SO I would rather drive 13 hours each way to get out of here. Hm... How many days til then: 49. That's a lot, but I only have one day off between now and then. But I am TOTALLY looking forward to that. I'm going to Kansas to visit Mosel. And Sarah will be there. Yay! Friends! :)

I really ought to just go to bed and get some sleep. But ever since I've been on these meds for my strange ear thing and throat problem I haven't been sleeping well. I wake up like 6 times a night and am in pain. So I'm tired but not really looking forward to sleeping. Please pray for me. I don't know how much longer I can take being ill.

What a week

This week has been interesting. I have been miserably sick. It started on Sunday with a run of the mill sore throat and by Monday morning I could hardly talk. Then every day it got worse and worse. You would think a normal person would take a day off to recuperate and get better, but that would mean I have a normal job. I however don't have a normal job I work at a school that doesn't give thier teachers any sick days or personal days. If I was to take off a day I would have to pay a substitute out of my own pocket, which doesn't sound great by any means. So bascially I've been miserable all week.
Tomorrow I have to take the youth group to Sterling for church and bowling. Hopefully everyone shows up. This always a huge concern for me. All I can do is hope people show up. Oh well. Hopefully I will be well enough to take care of everything.
Good news- I mailed off my papers to the district. So getting a call for next year is in the plans. I'm very excited about it. No more worries about getting it done. It's out of my hands now.

Post-Christmas Fun

I had the best Christmas. It wasn't about what I got and how cool things were but the simple fact I was in Boise. I love Boise, and this trip made me miss living there so much. Plus I had such a great time with my friends there. I actually had gotten used to living on my own and not having others around. But man, it was so nice to have people around my who love and care for me. I loved hanging out with Crystal and Jake. Even though I don't know Jake all that well, it made my heart happy to see them happy together. And this break I feel that I got to know Jake. I really wish I lived with Crystal, I think we would be great roommates. But sadly I live alone in Fort Morgan. I spent more time with my friends in Boise than I did with my family.
Then I went to camp for New Years. It was also really nice to see friends there. I was really glad to see Annie and Derek, I hadn't seen them in like a year. Now that I am back in Colorado I'm going through friend withdrawal. But let the countdown begin of leaving Fort Morgan. Granted, I do not know where I'm going yet but this morning I filled out part of my synodical papers to go back on the call list. So the ball is in place. Please pray for me as I figure everything out.
