Weekend Craziness

Sorry everyone!

Wow, what a crazy weekend or week I should say! First off, I want to apologize for my blog disappearing for 3-4 days! This will never happen again. I've solved this issue (and even switched companies from where I got my domain), so hopefully this won't ever be an issue again. It was beyond scary when I clicked "view my blog" and the link wasn't working. I have never taken classes on website management (hosting, designing, etc). I'm 100% self taught. It's crazy how much you can learn on websites, YouTube, and good ol' books from the library. However, when something shows an error (like my domain expiring without my knowledge) I tend to freak out a bit. I mean this blog, as much as I love it, I have put just as much work into it. Almost 3 years of my life's rambling are on this lil blog! So whew, glad I got it all sorted out and I'm so sorry to anyone who tried view it and was confused!

So It's back for good. I promise. Okay, in regards to other "craziness" from this weekend. Some of the craziness was good, like people visiting us. The crazy part was the fact my plans completely got changed last minute. I was supposed to visit with my family this weekend, but that got messed up. Which I was bummed about at first... which is why I'm very much looking forward to Christmas and having some time to spend with family & friends! This may be the most up to date picture I have of my family! It was taken 2 years ago (before I even started dating Andrew). Think this year we are in need of an updated one? I do!

But since we were free this weekend, we had a lot of other people visit and had a lot of fun. Friday, Andrew's Mom came to visit. My Uncles visited Saturday and they delivered the mattress I purchased on Black Friday for a super good price! I sooooo excited to get a new mattress, the one had was beyond old and it was affecting my joints (arthritis problems) and my sleep. Now, thanks to them hauling my new beautiful bed here, I have slept like a baby ever since!

Sunday, I was bummed I was unable to go to the Dream Factory Party (read about in post below). However, I've had allergy type problems for the last week or so. I really don't think it is a cold, but that Christmas Party would have kids with compromised immune systems there (cancer, cf, etc). No way, would I go even with the sniffles. So bummed I missed out, but I know all the kids had an amazing time! I really hope I can go next year!

And for the rest of my week: STUDYING! That's right I may have aced my final in the first Real state Class, but I have one more final (in my 2nd class) on Thursday. Then shortly after I'm taking the IL licensing exam. So lots to study! So excited for this career to start (in Jan of 2015). My struggle with finding a career that I will love and will allow me to manage my CF has been difficult. READ about it RIGHT HERE!

Also, if you enjoy this blog and want to learn more about me, my CF, or our fundraising efforts then click here to "like" my Blog's Facebook Page. I post all the new posts on that page too, so you can keep updated!

And again sorry everyone!

How Fostering and CF impact my work

I haven't been on my blog much.... I think that is because most of my blogging is currently been done on Health Union's Cystic-Fibrosis.com (here is link to all my posts on their site: https://cystic-fibrosis.com/members/cherizkunkel/ ). I decided last fall to step away from real estate after 3 years in the business. It was tough to say good-bye, especially since I had tripled my volume and business in the last year. However, I didn't have time to add any new clients; I kept saying, maybe next week, next month I can fit more work into my schedule. The truth is fostering takes a lot of time. We have between 5-8 monthly visits at the agency, 1 court ate a month, 2 home visits from the caseworker a month, plus e have 2-3 doctors/specialist appointments for our current kiddo. We have lots of paperwork we fill out, gas mile logs, receipts to add, and more! Our kiddo also participates in gymnastics and dance two nights a week. We go to a fosterparent support group with our kid ...

Oh the Joys of a Colonoscopy!

Colonoscopy, Fun: As you may remember from reading my October Posts (  Oct Post #1   &  2nd Oct Post ) that I was admitted a second time that month for Gastrointestinal issues. I was having stomach cramps and what was believed to be Antibiotic Associated Diarrhea. However, CT scan revealed my colon and intestines were inflammed.  After having a rough 2 months of GI issues, and cuting out most food (diary, meat, grease, carbonated beverages, and sugar). I finally am getting a Colonoscopy to see what in the world is going on! I'm been taking Probiotics, was on meds for both C. diff and AAD. I even added driking Kefir to add to the probiotics and good bacteria.  Only now am I seeing any changes, less stomach aches, etc. I add a 1/2 cup pf the Kefir to my smoothie, its not bad -yum! I really reccommend it and Probiotics (so talk to your doctor about it), it could really help you out! Read about Colonoscopies here! So I'm glad to be g...

Um..Need to clear my head.

I was having a good day, it was one of my babysitting girl's bdays! We went for ice cream, I hung out with a friend and watched "Game of Thrones". I really liked it and I'm hoping to watch more this wknd. Then I logged onto Facebook to see that my best friend Laura (with CF) is down in lung function, on oxygen at night and her doctor is putting her on the Transplant list. I have lots of thoughts going through my head the MAIN one is "Please let her get a Tx soon, heal well and fast, and live her full life, they way she deserves to! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!" I can't imagine how she must feel, I know I'm sad knowing she is at point she needs one, but HAPPY she will get on the list! Happy, Sad, Scared, Excited. How do I feel..? The worst part is knowing that she is pain. I just want to take all that away, give her some good n plentys (one of our fave candy), kiss her on the forehead, tell her I love her, and that before she knows it she will have...
