that everything was falling back into place, I get sick, have to take three days off from school, and lost my voice within six hours on Thursday. A new laryngitis record for me. The house was finally getting back into a bit of order. Folded clothes weren't stacking up on the couch. Toys were put away and the floor was swept daily. Now I've been sick for a week and a half, had just enough energy to go to work and come home to play with my son for a bit before falling asleep on the couch. Speaking of the couch, I've been sleeping on it for over a week now. I don't want my husband or son to get this.
Just when I thought things were 'calming down' at school, I find out my team was doing the right thing for our kids before we were told to do something else. Having multiple people to report to and get direction from can be challenging. This year in particular. I sometimes wish someone would tell me what to teach, how to do it and give me time to fully prepare. Some teachers say you can never feel fully prepared. I believe that to a small degree. Teaching kids with special needs and intervention classes means you have to be able to reinvent, reteach, and reconnect concepts that have been, are being or will be taught. I sometimes think I'm a challenge junkie.
I do have to say that my students, classes, staff, family, and friends are all wonderful and I'd be lost without them.
Okay, now how to kick this cold.....
