Venting Time

So, I'm going to take a minute to vent.  Friday I became sick with Strep throat along with Nick who started his RX on Wednesday only after a bout with puking on Tuesday.  Jake with his hacking cough which flairs up his otherwise non-existent asthma, has been coughing almost non-stop since Wednesday.  Poor guy has the best six pack in the state now though.  Then yesterday, big Tye started puking his poor little brains out.  For hours he continued puking and we just kept cleaning and disinfecting like psycho freaks.  Then, everyone went to bed and Josslyn woke up puking.  Sweet darling was up from 11:30-2am vomiting with the force of an adult.  And yes, the little angel had a puking virus only just 2-3 weeks ago!!  And then today...wait for it...I came down with the stomach nasties to accompany my killer glands and throat. 


On the upside, I suppose that means we've all had the pukes and we shouldn't be able to get it again for what?  At least a few days, right?  And I get to take work off tomorrow.  (Feel the sarcasm there?)  Suppose that also means I will be falling behind in the most hectic Key Club week ever and since I have no emergency sub plans (those were all used up over the past 2 weeks) I will have to write out some plans and email them to my assistant.  Last year I never, ever used any of my emergency sub plans and this year I have already blazed through all 4! 


Again, on the upside, my students will at least be able to continue with the plans I had for the new unit and my Key Clubbers will really have a chance to step it up and deal with all that needs dealing with before Friday night when we'll be hosting the very first non-Student Council hosted dance in the history of the school.  A huge honor, I know, and the principal has reminded me several times last week that I'm the only person he'd trust to host a new dance with 400+ totally reved up teenagers.  "I completely trust you" is a nice phrase to hear although it ups the anty quite a bit for me personally.  Its going to be amazing but I MUST pick myself up off the floor of the baño long enough to make it happen. 

Well I'm off...not to bed...to figure out what my Honors Spanish 3 kids will be doing tomorrow with out my being there.  Easy to plan for Spanish 1 when really anyone could present them their new material (albeit, not as well as I can) but Spanish 3 is different. Forcing myself to find an upside...I suppose I could have a stellar student go through the new material with them, learn and teach as she goes; a tough concept though of the negative informal imperative tense, she'd definitely be stronger in her Spanish because of it.  We'll see. 

Gray skies are gonna clear up...right?
