ups and downs

i haven't blogged in a while. i got really sick (bad stomach virus accompanied with fever going around my classroom right now) and was out of commission for a few days. i finally felt 100% better yesterday. so here is what has been going on since last tuesday...

February 10th: my first set of sentence strips/lamination job

i found, wrote out, and laminated this poem for valentine's day for my kindergartners. sadly, i only got to read it with them one day before my sickness.

the duke game was also this day, but we lost so i didn't want to recount it :)

February 11th: sickness day one

that night, i woke up a few hours after i went to sleep and was up the rest of the night with awful stomach pains and getting sick to my stomach. i had a fever when i checked it in the morning, and then laid around all day. chris bought me gatorade and sara gave me crackers. i finally drank and ate a little that night when i felt a little better. miserable day.

February 12th: sickness day two

chris was kind enough to bring me this tasty coffee drink while he was out running errands. that and saltines were the only thing i managed to eat, but my fever was gone and i wasn't sick to my stomach anymore. a better day. had to miss my class valentine's party though :(

February 13th: 100 years of carolina basketball!

this is actually at the state game. i felt better saturday, so i used my ticket and went. this was at halftime and these are former players from all the decades. it was really neat and fun to be a part of and see. and we beat state!

February 14th: valentine's flowers from the boy :)

i had a good valentine's day and felt 100% better. i spent the morning making the peanut butter cookies with the hersey kiss in the middle that chris likes. then he came and brought me these pretty flowers, a wall decoration that says "laugh", and a candle, and we went to see "valentine's day" - it was a really good movie i thought! a lot of things at the end i didn't see coming. then we had sushi...yum. it was a good day.

i might be back tonight to post my picture for today. i just did this before i worked out and did work/planning for tomorrow because i needed a break. maybe this week will actually be my first full week at school? hopefully so.
