Funny

It's funny how my students think I'm so much cooler now that I own a gamecube....

Grad School

I will start grad school Fall Semester of 2007. I have officially been accepted! YAY! :) I'll be going to the University of Utah, and now I get to see Bryan more often since he goes there too. Super yayness.

Holy Moly

So, I'm on meds for the two things I have, strep and sinus infection. I have to take two pills twice a day. Somehow I understood that to be take one pill in the morning and one pill in the evening. So for the past couple of days I've been doing it that way. I get tired after I take a pill, each time. Amoxicillin has always had that effect on me. Then my ruggedly handsome husband tells me that I should be taking TWO in the morning and TWO in the evening, as per the bottle instructions. So I took 2 today. We were both feeling tired at 7 PM this evening, so decided to take a nap. I slept for a bit, woke up when Bryan got out of bed and had said "I'm awake!" Next thing I knew, he was waking me up at 12:15 A.M. (midnightish) asking if I wanted to get some food. Holy cow, I slept for 5 hours and didn't even really wake up. I also could have slept for much longer, MUCH. I could go to sleep rightnow, but then I'd get nasty heartburn from the food from laying down. This stuff knocks me out...whew. Now I'm scared to teach for the next week. 

In other news, I got my cap and gown ordered today and I graduate 8 A.M. on April 27th. YAY!

The verdict

The verdict is in:
Sinus infection and a strep. 
Doctor said not to go to work tomorrow as I am still contagious (sp?) especially since I work with kids. So, I'm annoyed with that, but oh well, what can I do? *grumble*

yet sick again

I REALLY hate being sick too. I started getting sick last week, and it was really bad over the weekend, then got better by Thursday. Last Friday it started to suck again, I crashed at like 9:30 on a freaking Friday night! Then Saturday I was ok, felt groggy, then that night I basically threw up (was throwing up, but trying so hard to make it to the bathroom it just went back down, ugh). then I went to bed. Slept in until 10:30 Sunday morning, felt icky all day and headachey and took a 3 hour nap and such. Last night I was miserable. Woke up this morning, I was even worse. Wanted to call in a substitute but I couldn't because we had planned to do a whole grade level thing where we would mix up our kids, but had nothing specific planned out to teach, so I coulnd't just unload that onto a substitute. Luckily today was an "easy" day. We have safety week this week, so for the first half of school we had lectures from cops about road and bike safety, rocky mountain power about electricity and the fire station about firefighters and trucks and ambulances. That took up all morning until lunch time. So I had to mix up writing, math and reading in for 1 hour. So it was ok, I ended up letting them have a 10 minute recess cause I was getting really woozy with all the noise. So I set up to have a sub for tomorrow. I was getting worried beacause by 3:45 No one had picked up the job yet. I had put it in at 9 this morning, luckily someone picked it up at 4. I had to stay after to make sub plans (those usually take me around 2 hours to make,I hate having substitutes for two reasons, writing the plans and not knowing who's going to take care of my kids for the day....protective I know). So I left around 5 (finally), got some gatorade and came straight home. Got home around 6, jumped into the bathtub right away and was in there until 7:45. Crazy, but dang it felt good. 
Now here I am wanting to take Nyquil and hit the sack, but I have to pick up Bryan in an hour from his night class, so that won't happen until he gets home, Plus, I need to eat something tonight. (I hate eating when I'm sick, but if I don't, I just make myself worse). 

Yeah, long boring rambly entry, but YAY I get to sleep in and just crash all day tomorrow! Even if the house is a mess, I still am VERY excited. :)

Yikes a bee

There are 6 2nd grade teachers at this school. 
ONe had a meeting today, so there is a sub for her. 
The other one came this morning, but was really sick and is preggo, puking all over the place. She wasn't fit to be here today, but they couldn't find a sub. So we split her class over 4 of us since it would just be too much for the sub to have extra students. 
that means 25 of my own kids + 6 more from another class. 
Holy Moly, that's just a lot of kids, especially when I only have desks for at most, 28, so I've got some at my back reading table (had to hurry and clear it off). 
Had to change all of my lessons today due to the fact that each class is different, so I'm doing an art thing with seasons. Working out well so far, but can't do this all day. 
So much talking, I feel insane!

I can't wait until today is over...3 more hours...
