Today I took my first sick day in the real world. While I love teaching kindergarten and love all my kids, I don't so much love all the germs that come with the job. Although, I'd say making it to February before taking a sick day is a pretty good accomplishment, right?! Not to say I haven't been sick yet this year...I've certainly had my fair share (and then some!) of sicknesses, but I toughed them all out thus far. Today, I couldn't do it. Too bad it's almost more work to not go to work than it is to show up sick! Sub plans can be such a pain. Thankfully I have such wonderful team members who do take very good care of me. I was quite the sight all day today. My lazy sick self lounged on the couch in my pj's watching TV all day long, in and out of sleep. I had a doctor's appointment at 2pm and was in no shape at all to drive, so thankfully my very loving boyfriend answersed my crying phone call and was able to leave work for a bit to take me to the doctor. Thanks, Steve! Let me tell you, when we got back he also brought me a big glass of water to keep me hydrated, made me a bowl of ice cream to get me to eat, and turned on the TV to let me watch some Ellen (love her!). He's SO great. I'm feeling much better now, but am taking another sick day tomorrow (2 in a row...I know!) to rest up and take care of myself.

Sorry I don't have any fun pictures to post! I know pictures are the best part. I promise pictures with my next post :-)

P.S. Wash your hands and stay away from the yucky germs!
