The Past Week

Here's what's been going on:

• My throat feels like it's on fire and I can barely swallow :( I have a ton of post nasal drip but my nose is completely clear, so weird. Not sure if it's allergies (which I didn't think that I had) or something viral. Anyway, I'm contemplating taking the day off from work tomorrow because I have a long week!
• Little man had his T-ball kick off yesterday. He walked in a parade, had his pictures taken, had lunch with his team and then played his first game. He had a great time! We now have games every Monday and Wednesday for the next two months. Luckily they start at 6:30 rather than 6pm. They are only supposed to play 4 innings or for one hour, which ever comes first. He's still into picking dandelions but he loves it and asks all the time when he gets to go back to T-ball.
• I got blindsided last week on Thursday because apparently a substitute for one of my teachers had to leave early and they were planning on me subbing, only no one ever told me. They knew for over a day and just failed to let me know. Communication isn't that hard in this day and age, especially with e-mail, I don't get it.
• I subbed for another one of my teachers on Friday and that was a long day! I was beginning to not feel good and I was talking all day long. That's the part I totally forgot about being a classroom teacher. You are using an above normal voice to a group of over 20 students, ALL DAY LONG! I guess I'd better get used to it since they are moving me back into the classroom next year :(
• We have parent teacher conferences this week so I have to work late on Wednesday until 8pm. The nice thing is that we only have to have conferences with the low kids or the kids who need to come to summer school. Which means the teachers don't have to do as many, but those are all my kids because I have all the low ones. If we get all the conferences done on Wednesday then we get to take Thursday off. On Friday, we have professional development all day long.
• I think I'm going to go to the chiropractor this week for the first time in my life. My back and neck have really, really been bothering me and so I'm just going to give it a try.
• I missed my run today for the first time since I started training over 5 weeks ago. I'm really disappointed but I knew that it wouldn't be smart to push my body when it's already weak and I'm feeling like crap.

That's been what's been going on in a nutshell.
