Hello Hello.....

Hi Everyone,

Well Life sure is busy right now! I now understand why growing up it always felt like your teachers were rushing at the end trying to fit everything in! LOL I HAVE BECOME ONE OF THOSE TEACHERS :) ahh well, what can you do. I have also noticed this year that my lack of sleeping at night brings upon these random late night GREAT ideas on fun activities to do with my students. I tend to make trips to walmart at 11 or 12 pm to gather supplies and then stay up until the wee hours of the night putting together examples and lesson plans. These grand ideas always turn out to be A LOT OF WORK! Sure wish i could just sleep and quit putting myself through this, but my kids just love them. Had one last night and today we made plant cells and animal cells out of play dough :) kids loved it and well I got no sleep............... Health wise I am having some hard days. I have been in a lot of pain the last week, and just cant seem to get rid of it so i can rest. I am on my five days off right now and will start double chemotherapy on Monday. I will be getting my same daily shot and adding on a chemo pill. My cancer spot is shrinking fast and my doctor wants to try to up the dossage of chemo to see if they can maybe get rid of my spot in the next month. I am really not going to feel well at all, but i figure a HARD MONTH is better than two months. Hopefully it will work, i cant wait to just get this part of my life over with and move on to bettter things!
I cant even begin to thank everyone for all the letters and gift packages. I love to read how everyone is doing. When your missing home it makes things a lot easier and puts a smile on my face daily, so THANK YOU!

I love you all, Keep your Heads High...
