13/11 Weeks

Well, Monday was a really good day for me. The other two 6th grade teachers were out due to illness. I was talking to our secretary, telling her how great I felt. And I did feel really good - I woke up Monday morning feeling a little more energized than usual. I guess I should have knocked on wood because on Tuesday I woke up with a small sore throat. As the day went by it got progressively worse, and I couldn't swallow. I called my doctor, and they suggested that I go to Urgent Care....there wasn't anything they could really do for me....and I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't strep (sp?). Good news: it's not strep. Bad news: the only thing he could really give me was nasal spray and told me to gargle with salt water. I'm staying home today and tomorrow - I have a feeling it's going to take longer to get better. I feel a little better, but I'm not in any condition to be up and talking all day to 6th graders. (Talking?? I meant YELLING!! lol)

BTW, I finished those wonderful rock cycle stories Sunday night. I feel like a FREE WOMAN!!!

Sorry you aren't feeling well -- I only hope your activities this past weekend (meaning with me/us! & hundreds of other kids at Chuckie Cheese) didn't have anything to do with it. Maybe you picked up something from those other teachers who were out sick.
I hope you get well soon! I know it's bad when you can't really take anything. I can't remember getting really sick at all (that way at least!) when I was pregnant.
Maybe you can take off the rest of this week & then also have the weekend to get better.

Feeling much better today - I needed this extra day to make sure I am rested and don't have relapse when I get back, so I think I'm all set for tomorrow. There's a LOT of stuff going around, so I don't think I can blame it on any one thing.
