This is going to be short and sweet. I am sick. I am tired. I plugged through today convinced that I was going to be fine by tomorrow. However, no matter how much tea I drank at work today by the time 3:30 rolled around my throat was on fire. Then, as I sat working on an Academic Assessment it hurt even more. By the time Jesse came home from the gym my speaking voice was close to a whisper. He told me he was going to the grocery store and asked what I needed. My answer: ICE CREAM! (shouted but barely the volume of my regular speaking voice)
He told me to take tomorrow off. I replied "I can't"
He reminded me that my job is a job. Not my life. And that I need to take care of myself and AKC (preview to the baby name...)
He's right.
I called a coworker to get validation that I should stay home tomorrow.
Then I called another to cover one of the parent observations I had tomorrow.
Then I called another to make sure the last one was free.
Then I called out.
Then I emailed two parents, one to cancel, one to let them know about the staff change of co-observers.
Then I texted my support staff.
And I still haven't written a sub-plan for tomorrow! That will get done tomorrow morning as I'll be up before 8:00 so I can type one up and email it in.
I miss my old immune system. Does being sick now give AKC a better immune system?
I'm glad you're staying home. No job is worth that - and truly why would they want you there to pass it around. No one will take care of you or AKC - except you. There are some meds you can take while pregnant - so the doctor should be your biggest concern.....and soup and crackers and gingerale.
