A Bad Day Put Into Perspective.


I just love this :))

So.. the last 7 days have been anything but ideal.  Graduation seems to be more stress than pleasure.  I was letting the stress of the last semester of school, and my busy work schedule get the best of me.  I know that I do have a busy schedule and often take on too many tasks at one time.  Thursday when I left my love, blogging class, I was in the worst mood.  I came home and layed in my bed feeling sorry for myself during the 30 minute break that I was supposed to be getting ready for work in.  I left my phone on silent, not wanting to talk to anyone and continued to feel sorry for myself.  When I was in the car and on my way I called my sister back, my missed call.  She started off by checking on me because she knows how big of a freak I am and how I stress myself out.  She made me feel a bit better before she dropped the real news.  The real reason that she had called and not text.  Moudy, one of my best role models and friend, who was in remission of breast cancer, had just found out it was back.  All of a sudden everything changed.  My problems and worries were completely put to shame.  How could I be so selfish and all about me?

Moudy .. Ms. Moudy was my 6th grade reading teacher, but before that she was the high school cheer coach... and I, I was the little girl who dreamed to be a high school cheerleader.  Gross okay I know now, but it's the truth.  I was in the summer cheer camps she put from 1st-4th grade.  In 5th grade I made middle school cheerleader and she was my coach.  Oh, she was meeeaaanuhhh lol, she scared me at first.. pretty much everyday of my first summer.  I spent every summer with her from fifth grade to my senior year of cheer.  My senior year all the hard work that we had put in paid off, all of the saturday practices, everyday summer practices, camps, tumbling gyms, laughs, tears and a couple broken noses here and there hehe.  We won state my senior year, it was an amazing feeling.  I had amazing coaches and girls that I got to share it with.  Moudy is still an amazing coach, teacher and person that continues to mother many daughters through the some of the awkward years of their lives.  She definitely made us work and held us to standards that we didn't always understand.  No holding a boys hand in uniform? haha come on Moudy!  Now that I have gotten older I understand most of her logic, what I don't understand is where the dedication of teachers and coaches come from?  Every morning from 8-12 at the gym scuuurrr no thanks!  That is just me being selfish but of course her or Rochelle (assistant coach) don't have a selfish bone in their body. 

Well that is a little about her and her personality.  Although she doesn't have children of her own, she has many children that consider to her to be some part of a mother to them, whether she likes it or not! 

Back to the focus.  She is dealing with cancer again.  Every. Day.  It makes me sick.  Literally, sick.  I hate it how the most amazing people always seem to have the most unamazing things happen to them.  No worries though, she has gotten through it once.  She will beat it again.  If you pray, feel free to keep her in them, we'll take the help we get ;)
