My new career!

I got a job offer to teach first and second graders at Sequoia School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Mesa, Az. I am so excited but nervous at same time. I have worked with deaf children before in dormitory setting for many years. Now it will be my new career as full time teacher! I will start working next week but the class will start on August 8th. I will try to keep up with blogging to share my experience with everyone.

Before and After Pictures

Since I last posted

I have lost about 40 pounds on HCG drops and I am very happy with it as I am now wearing pants size 8 to 6 and before was 16. I have 20 more pounds to meet my goal weight. I have been working on applying for teaching positions. I have applied one at Hawaii School for the Deaf and Blind and will expecting to be interviewing in May so I am crossing my fingers for it. As for my crafts, I have been working with my students at New Mexico School for the Deaf as after school art instructor for a month and they enjoyed painting rocks, dye the eggs, making basket and paper crafts. I did a bit of crocheting and started my crewel stitching.

Crochet bug has bite me!

I finally graduated with Master in Deaf Education last December and now I have a lot of free time to do any projects that I missed doing for long time. Right now I am crocheting hats and stuffed animals now. I will post pictures later on.

My HCG journal

I started my HCG drops 21 days ago and to date I lost 14.4 pounds. First week was hard for me because I had to stop drinking Diet Pepsi and was having headaches due to sudden withdrawal from Diet Pepsi. I am learning to eat better and healthy. There is many cool recipes for Phase two HCG diet.

It has been awhile since I have posted my blog.

I have been student teaching since January. It was very educational experience for me.It was special need deaf student in high school level but thier mentally is more of elementary. I will be taking two course this summer and then in the fall last two course then I will be graduating with master in deaf education.

Happy New Year! and my CPAP experience

I am back to work today after two weeks of break. It was really good break that I had for long time. I was just relaxing and do some of the craft projects that I have been neglecting for years. As I have wrote in my last post that I made some of Christmas gifts and now I am working on my daughter's blanket with knit loom. I have been playing with my hair during the break and now I have made a resolution that i will keep up with my hair do from now on. Continuous Positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a method of respiratory ventilation used primarily in the treatment of sleep apnea. I have been using CPAP since last November and I do notice a big improvement in myself. I don't feel tired during the daytime anymore and have no need to nap anymore. I used to sleep a lot and always needed to nap and now I felt that the weight and foggness has lifted from me. I can sleep between 7 to 9 hours and don't feel tired anymore. If I sleep under 6 hours but i do feel just little tired but not bad I used to felt before the CPAP. I noticed that I do have more energy than before. I am still waiting for a word from my work to see if  I could start student teaching there in the mornings while I work in the late afternoon. I will be able to graduate with master in deaf education in August if things goes well for me. My husband Edward and I did went shopping for bedroom bedding set for our bedroom and we found one set that is really nice and we also bought drapes too but have to order more as they were out of stock. It will be my first time in many years since I was married to my ex that I got new matching bedroom bedding set and that everything matches. We bought new sofa set two years ago and now my husband wants other new sofa set because he didnt like the cushions that get too soft and wants the firm ones. We did looked around and did saw that we liked but I told him that I want to wait longer because our sofa is still good. I am not used to have everything new and that matches. It was funny that my living room looked so bare after I took down the Christmast decorations. I guess I need to shop for some decoration that are good for a year around or look for some projects that I could made. Anyone who have a cool ideas about decorating please feel free to comment. I liked the chic shabby but my husband dont like too much flowers. He likes Southwest style but I am not too crazy about it. I thought of mixture of both. Does anyone have ideas for that?
