Sick....

If possible stay at least ten feet away from people with a stomach virus.

In fact after reading my post, you should probably say a prayer, gargle with Listerine and find some garlic to tie around your neck!

I ended up having to take my lesson plans to school and then return home.

Being sick and working is never any fun. But when you teach kiddos, you feel like you MUST be there. (I don't hear any extra ego... so stop snickering!)

You want to know how they did at your lessons, if they behaved and if anything interesting happened. You actually miss them.

It is strange how quickly I have come to really care for the little people in my class. I want them to learn and grow, I feel the responsibility I have and I am both awed and a little frightened.

I love being a teacher...

Now if only someone could have got the memo that I don't have time to be sick!

I'm headed back to bed. More rest. More applesauce and bananas. Yum...

As for you... don't forget those prayers, Listerine and garlic!
