Today marks 3, THREE years of getting my brace. Three years since I thought I was completely done. I wanted nothing to do with this, and I wanted it to be done. I've come so far. I am so happy now. A year ago today I was in a hospital room, getting ready to go into an MRI - a machine that is sort of like an x-ray but for your 'squishy parts' like your spinal chord. - and I was scared to death. Looking back I wish I could go give myself a hug, and tell myself what I am telling you. It's OKAY to NOT be okay right now. It will be scary, you will be unhappy at first, but when you learn how strong you truly are it all becomes..bearable. So, dear 2010 me, trust me. It's all okay now..

Day 16: August 16, 2012

The first middle school dance is tonight on the eve of our 3-day weekend. Guess who was cornered into chaperoning? In my defense, three 6th grade girls dropped by my classroom during lunch last week and said, "Miss, will you chaperone our dance? If we don't have enough chaperones, the dance will be cancelled." Oomph. Somehow I think the dance will be a cuter idea in theory than in practice. It's about turn into me diligently monitoring the biggest watering hole event of the quarter. Oomph again.
