It's been awhile

It's been almost three weeks since I've written, and they have been some of the three busiest weeks I've had in a very, very long time.  In fact, my three least favorite days of the school year occur within nine calendar days in May.  Last night was the last of those three days. The reason I don't love those days is that they require 3-4 additional hours of work into the evenings, and preps for receptions.  It's just a lot.

On top of that, I was the sickest I've been in years last weekend.  I could feel it coming on the Thursday before, but that was one of the crazy long days and I needed to push through.  The next day, I needed to be at work because the Head of School was out.  I made it as long as I could, and by mid-afternoon I was out of there.  By that evening I knew I was really sick, and was running a fever of 101.  Andrew woke me up Saturday morning so I could get to Urgent Care early, and I had Thomas drive me.  That's how sick I was!  Thomas had been there earlier in the week, and sure enough I had it too.  I stayed down all weekend, and all of Monday.  I tried going in on Tuesday, but woke up with a migraine, and then went in just long enough to grab some papers for home.  Tuesday afternoon things finally "broke", and I couldn't believe how much better how I feel.  I worked 1/2 day Wednesday, and I've been dragging all week, but we made it to the weekend!  I even made it through the longest day of the school year last night.

We are down to three days left, and I hope I can get on here and post more often as things begin to settle!
