busy schmusy

Whew!!!!!  My life has been very, very, VERY busy lately and basketball season hasn't even started.  The season starts next Thursday and will last until the end of January so don't expect much from me until after then!  We have 2 days a week that have 4 games a night and, of course, all games need cheerleaders.  This is what's been going on lately:

1. I've gotten back into my running groove but not on a schedule because of cheerleading and how it takes up so much time.  Last week I only ran two days:  one 30 minute run and then a 40 minute run.  Even thinking about it now, I'm just completely blown away at how far I've come in the past 14 months.  I've gone from not being able to run 50 feet without running out of breath to running 40 minutes without stopping and feeling fantastic afterward.  Oh and not to mention my almost 45 pound weight loss!!

2. I taught school Monday with a 101 fever and glands so swollen in my neck that I couldn't move it.  Did I mention I had a surprise observation, too?  And a meeting, and cheerleading practice, and grades due????  Monday was a wake-up call that life can't stop like it used to when I got sick.  So Monday night I went to Urgent care--still with a 101 fever--and got a shot.  Tuesday I went to school with no make up on and received a wide range of comments about it.  "Your eyes look so pretty today!" "You look really tired."  "What's different about you?" "You look so much better without make up on."  I really think that by Friday I will feel 100%.  Or at least I better because my BFF is coming to spend the weekend with me to celebrate my birthday!

3.  My birthday is coming up!!!  On October 25 I will be 24 and working haha.  I was already told by a student that he will be wearing a shirt that says, "Happy Birthday Miss Wiley" so we'll see if he does that!!!

4.  I got the new iPhone 4S and love it!  I like it way better than my Droid!!

5.  My litter sister got her acceptance letter into nursing school and I couldn't be more proud of her!  She is going to be a great nurse because she does a great job taking care of me when I'm sick.  Wednesday she had a project due where she had to pick a poem and give a line by line explanation and commentary of the poem.  What did she pick?  "Mr. Tambourine Man" by Bob Dylan.  Could she have picked anything more difficult??!!!  She got an "A" for her presentation--with a little help.  This is why one of us is an English teacher and the other one is going to be a nurse.

back soon

Sorry for my lack of posts.  Let's just say that being busy is a understatement.  I'll be back when I have the time/energy to write a post.
