What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Busy week at work today and tomorrow and looking forward to seeing Aladdin at the theater this weekend. Still feeling tired and pukey and counting down the days until I can eat normally again. Rant- I feel like I am getting sick again. My throat is drippy and I am starting to get stuffy. I would love to have a month without an additional illness. Raves- we had a really fun day at Disneyland on Saturday and DS loved trying some new rides he is tall enough for now.
Any upcoming appointments? I see my OB and do my GD screening on 2/1.
GTKY: What career or job did you aspire to as a child and why? I wanted to either be a Broadway actress or a teacher. I love musicals and still do, but my introverted nature made that a no go for me. I now just enjoy being a consumer of all things musical. I wanted to be a teacher because I like helping people.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a ballerina. I’ve loved dance since I was a very young child, and I pushed myself towards it from an early age. In high school I lost a lot of my drive due to depression, and I let that dream fall to the wayside. I started teaching when I came back from New Mexico (a decade ago this May, omg) and it really is the perfect fit for me. I love teaching and choreographing so much more than I ever enjoyed performing.
@ivyvines6 I love the way you talk about teaching- I wish I had that kind of passion for anything!
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? I’m feeling so big. Like IvyVines, I need to make another trip to the chiropractor. I made it almost 2 months since my last visit, though, which has been nice.
Any upcoming appointments? My GD test and appointment is next Tuesday.

I wanted to be a veterinarian or horse trainer. I loved animals, especially horses. I miss riding and hope to get back to it someday.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? We're in a blizzard and I'm just ready for winter to be done. I had so much anxiety driving to and from work today, it was awful.
Any upcoming appointments? Jan 30 (Tuesday) I see my OB and have my GD test.
GTKY: What career or job did you aspire to as a child and why? I wanted to be a doctor, I loved science, health and all things medical. But as I grew older, I realized the years of schooling and hours of work/ being on call wasn't going to work for me. I became a nurse instead, which I think is just as great.

i wanted to be a Veterinarian until about grade 6 when I started processing what that really meant: not all giving checkups to cute animals, giving them medicine and petting them but the other side with surgeries and death
Then I wanted to be a writer until about grade 9 when a teacher's aide said something really obnoxious about a piece I had written within earshot of me but to my teacher directly (that my teacher also loved!) which made me feel rather useless. I think he called it "a typical junior high school student's work" or something. Idk. It stuck with me.
A year after I graduated high school I found Graphic Design and never looked back. Perfect blend of Arts and smarts for me. Now I only freelance as I've moved up in the marketing world but I'm still very happy with my path
