I am sads a bit as I continue on this new career pursuit. I LOVE teaching. I mean like I struggle to see myself in any other arena doing the things I do.

I call bullshit, you are too VERY SMART. Maybe it doesn't show up in grades or test results, but you are.
You make your dreams happen so I'm sure you will get into a school and do research where you want. Would you want to be a professor? You would be incredible teaching college chemistry!

I love you and have complete faith in you and believe in you!

Do they not make you take the Analytic (basically logic problems) part of the GRE any more? I remember having a 3-part test and score.

If you can handle even undergrad chemistry, you're plenty smart. If you can handle Organic and Biochem, you are VERY smart.

As someone who did an undergrad degree in chem, I've always been impressed by your knowledge and love for it. I'm so thrilled for you for wanting to go for this. As someone who is currently in grad school (although aiming for my MA), I also understand all the mix of feelings that are involved, and the overwhelming-ness of just getting started with the school-thing again. So wishing you best of luck! You are going to make it a great adventure, I just know. :)
