Sicky-poo

One of my germ-toting children infected me with a wicked cold, so I will be home from school tomorrow. I'm OK with this though because I have a competent substitute coming in, so the kids won't lose a day of learning.

It was really quite silly. I'd been feeling crappy for a couple days, but I was trying to be a trooper. Finally, I was walking through the front office and the school nurse spotted me. She said, "You have a fever, I can tell." So, I had my temperature taken in the clinic for the first time since I was 8. A kid was in there and looked gobsmacked when he saw a teacher with a thermometer in her mouth. This reaction goes right along with the idea they have that teachers actually *live* at school. Anyway, the verdict was that I had a fever and reinforcements needed to be called for tomorrow. I'm really hoping that it snows and they don't have school so I don't have to use that sick day.

Thus, I will be in bed all day tomorrow. I've been in bed since 4:15 and I'm very excited to go back.
