Teach This

Well, being sick sucks! Being sick and being a teacher really sucks. As I was dressing yesterday with a fever and the chills, my husband is telling me I am nuts to go to work. But, he doesn’t realize that I had a specialist coming in that I had been waiting for two months to have assess a kid–and then, today was the last day before break–like I could miss that! I did go to the doctor and I have bronchitis, and have started treatment, so I am finally on the mend. I also do not have to work for two weeks, which is great.

It is however, the 16th of December and I have not wrapped one present or made one card–I have been sick and busy and so many people are getting New Year’s gifts! I am usually completely done by now, but this year has been anything but normal. At least I have gotten the kids’ pictures taken–if I had put that off, I would be in big trouble. Anyway, have a great Christmas if I don’t post anything else before then!

Well–how goes the Christmas shopping? I keep struggling with what to get everyone, because I really do want them to enjoy it, but I am also really cheap! Have you ever noticed that men are quite hard to shop for?

Here’s another issue–holidays at school–wow! There is so much to do and so very little time. I keep needing to teach reading and math, but how do you fit in art with all that extra holiday stuff, too? Any time management suggestions? I only have them for two and a half hours and it goes by really quickly!
