A little trip.....

On Monday I was feeling really sick. Well, lets be honest, I've been feeling sick for a really long time. But, this past week has been especially bad....especially with my coughing. It got to the point where I was past exhaustion and I couldn't breathe. With the pageant coming up and end of level testing, along with the fact that I just need to get better my mom decided something needed to be done.
We went to the emergency room and checked in. We were immediately helped, which surprised my mom, but then it took forever until we could finally get back to a room.
The nurse took me back and hooked me up to all these heart machines so they could see if they could catch one of the heart palpitations that I've been having.
The doctor came in and first thing he said was, "Oh wow! You're young, really young. 100 years younger. No, 1,000 years younger than all my other patients". Then he walked to the machines and looked at me and said "Woah, she looks pale, does she look pale to you?" to my mom. I looked just the way I always do, ha! Then he told me everything that was gonna happen to me.
I got 3 vials of blood taken. For any of you that really know me, you know blood and I most definitely do not get along. I faint at the sight of it. But, I survived! My mouth tasted really salty and I felt sick, but I didnt faint. Then I got my first xray, an xray of my chest to see my lungs. The lady asked me if I was pregnant and I laughed out loud. I felt bad and she said, "yeah I know, I just have to ask, I'm sorry." I also got the nose swab test, which was really uncomfortable, but I survived!
So, after sitting there for another 45 minutes waiting for my results the doctor came back in. He said "well, it's nothing that'll kill you", but he looked really sad. Turns out I have bronchitis and mono...which explains why I've been so stinking tired all the time! Nothing can be done about the later but the first I have to take antibiotics which are no fun...and also yucky cough medicine.
Here's a tip...and I dont know why I've gone through my entire life not doing this! Eat a piece of candy after taking that nasty medicine. Washes it right away. First time I had two M&M's and the other times I've just been eating Mambas...works like a charm! I can finally handle taking it. :) I think I'll avoid a lot of problems with my own kids in the future knowing this now ;).
I've just been lazying around the house all week, I miss school like crazy! It's really hard for me to sleep which stinks because I am so tired, so it's pure torture to just sit there and lay in bed unable to do anything about it.
The first few days of being sick I was craving brownies like crazy! I wanted that or orange chicken. My sweet friend Ashley found out and made me a plate of brownies and wrote me a nice little note, it made me feel really loved! I'm so thankful for thoughtful people.
So, to wrap up this boring post...finally found out what's wrong, and had a fun adventure the last day of spring break. If I'm less than enthusiastic about things for a while, please forgive me...I still love you!

Sob Story

I open my window (browser that is) and pull up my email. Normal stuff, facebook, spam, Aeropostale and American Eagle advertisements. Boring! Delete, delete, delete.

Then, I see a little email from "anonymous'. "YES! Someone loves me!" My heart proclaims and my mind wanders as to what it could say. But, I wanted the tension to rise...making it even more meaningful. So I went and quickly checked my junk folder then went back to read the comment someone kindly left on my blog.

Well, it wasnt so kind. Not even thoughtful.

Just spam. On the weightloss pills.

That's exciting...since I need those, ya know? Having a hard enough time keeping me up at the weight I am, thank you very much.

Life is not funny. Or maybe this is a joke.

If you're sending me these things, you better have some pretty hungry kids at home so you have a reason to kill my hopes.

Well, then that'd be pretty sad. So...I dont wish that upon you.

Just, I dislike those ads...a lot.

So, would you mind not posting them so frequently on my blog?

Gracias!

My Future House Treasures

I found this website while reading Made and my goodness, do they have treasures!

I have the cutest sister!

The other day I was doing dishes by myself. My sister (3) pulls up one of our big heavy dining room chairs up to the dish drain, grabs a rag, and starts drying. First star for her! What a sweetheart to just step up to the plate (literally even!) and help.

Later on she turns to me and says "you're helping me!" I said "no, YOU'RE helping ME!". She gets this big grin and says "well...that's what it's all about!". How do little girls get so smart?

Then she says "I don't know how to dishes!" and I said, "Nope, you just know how to dry them, huh?!" and she said "Yup! With a rag!". What a little stinker.

I love her!

Arent you proud? Another post!

Holy Guacamole!
Yesterday was a busy day. I had a pageant workshop I had to be at by 10, then I went home, grabbed my stuff and hung out with my friends at the park, then I went to a friend's house, then went home, grabbed my karaoke machine, and went and did service at the church and got home at 9, when I could finally eat for the day.
I feel like I never slow down!
I'm doing the pageant though, and that's going to take a lot of time. Especially towards my talent, a 2 1/2 minute memorized song (and I'm quickly realizing, the opening number).
I had a lot of fun with my friends. There were a lot of us there, so we all split up and ended up leaving different places from the park, but it was still fun! I did get hit in the head with a frisbee...ouch! My eyes went black and I felt so dizzy. Everyone said my head looked normal so I put my bangs back down and carried on. When I went to the church I had pulled my bangs back and when I passed a mirror I noticed a huge thing underneath my eyebrow....a pretty little gash. Quite honestly, it looks like a nasty picked at zit....lovely. Thank heavens for bangs!
This week (weak may be more appropriate) I tripped and twisted my ankle, bumped my knee and got a big bruise, was so sick I couldnt walk, got hit in the head with a frisbee, got sunburned, I'm feeling so beat up! :)
We also set off the firealarms at our fundraiser event at the church....too much fog going in that fog machine! The doors all shut at once and this voice came on saying "danger, leave the building" etc etc. It seemed so official and over dramatic :).
Anyways, I must go finish my valentines! I've been working on them all day. Can I ever have a breather? ;)
Have a fantastic day/week/month....however long it takes me to get back on here.




just kidding.
Have a good week...we'll shoot for that :)

The Quote of the Week :)

So, I'm sorry I havent been posting, busy busy times these are :)

I have a book, its called "A Young Women's Quote Book"

It's a pretty great book, one that all young women would benefit having. One of the quotes that stuck out to me this week was,

"Those who stand for nothing, fall for anything"

I pretty much love this quote. I have it written on my mirror to remind me every morning and I think about it through out the day to remind myself of who I am and what I should be doing. It's so important in these years to stand up for what I believe in because others may not. Also, I am representing a large group of people (LDS). Plus, I've not stood up for what I believe in before and I promise you, I feel it...the guilt and sorrow really kills.

I also need to discover now what I believe in and how to stand up for my values. I dont want to be a person who goes with the flow and floats through what they want. As I stand up for what I believe in I will not fall for wordly things and the way satan is trying to sway me. I dont want to be a person who doesnt have the courage to stand up for what they believe in and falls for anything someone suggests.

I challenge you all to make a change this week. Look for an opportunity to stand up for what you believe in. Whether its defending your family, helping someone who is lonely, or finding a missionary experience, we all can do this. As we each take another step towards being better in this area, it will become easier and more natural. People will look to you as a role model.

And remember, pray for help, dont do it alone!
