It's been a long, and out-of-the-ordinary, week

It is only Wednesday...but it has been a crazy week.  Monday was unbelievably long.  I left for work at 6:30 to be in a freshman English room.  There was a student teacher, so there was even less for me to do than normal.  It was a good day though, and no problems.  I had to get Thomas after school from his track practice, than we drove across town to get Robert from his track practice.  Robert took a quick shower when he got home because he was working that evening.  I had to be back at the school for a volunteer commitment that lasted until after 9:00.  I was exhausted when I arrived home, especially since I hadn't slept much thanks to the lack of fan/white noise the night before!  I arrived home just in time for Catherine to begin vomiting all night.  Another night with not as much sleep as I would like!  I stayed home with her yesterday, although I did have to get Thomas to a doctor appointment, Robert to a doctor appointment, and get payroll finalized at my church job.  Last evening she began running a fever.  I was scheduled to work today, and circumstances made it make more sense for Andrew to be home with her today instead of me (especially since I don't get paid if I'm not in).  That's what we decided, and Andrew came in this morning to get his sub plans handled.  Massive storms began hitting overnight, and as I was driving to work this morning with Thomas along, the storms became worse.  Hail started falling and the wind was unreal.  As we got to school we received a robo call that they had pulled all the buses off the routes and were seeking shelter at schools.  It meant even Robert was at the high school today for a bit!  Things finally began to resume some normalcy with that, but many students missed most of first period.  And here I am, still with the crazy (and rough) Ag periods to go today, and it's only Wednesday!!!
