No Fun Week

This has been a no-fun week. 
Sunday evening, I just had no energy. Subs are sometimes scarce in our district, so I called in for one, because I was afraid I'd be really bad on Monday.By Monday, I didn't really feel that poorly, but I went ahead and stayed home and rested because I had a sub. 
Tuesday, I went to school - felt pretty good. But my voice was in danger of leaving. Even some of my sweeties asked if I would be there Wednesday. I was. But had no voice. It is very interesting who you can get to help you out. My listening signal is "Stop, Look, Listen" and I had about 5 sweeties that were looking for that. Thank you, my little friends. 
Wednesday night I got home and decided there was just no use struggling through another day with no voice. So called in and got a sub for Thursday. Thursday late afternoon - I was really thinking I could pull through and go Friday - but blah, I still didn't have much voice, and now had a red, oozy eye. Maybe I should stay home. So I did. And didn't get a sub. So they pulled the sub from PE. Sorry to my teacher friends who had PE on Friday. 

Well, that all is entirely NOT school related, and basically me just whining. 

We did have this pretty cool thing come to our school called Body Venture

 

I helped Tuesday night set up this humongous thing {yes, that might have contributed to me not feeling super duper.} It's a big long tunnel thing that shows different parts of the body. This picture shows the start - the mouth. We traveled through the lungs, the heart, the intestine, and a couple others. At each stop, nursing students {from our community college} gave a little talk about what that body part did. They combined that with some information about healthy eating and bad habits. It was a pretty interesting deal and I'm glad we had a chance to have it at our school. 

I'm still not feeling too good and my eye still looks quite strange. I'm hoping lots of rest this weekend will help me be ready for next week!

Happy weekend to you!

  1. So sorry you don't feel well! Rest up this weekend! I do the exact same thing because sometimes it is easier to just GO. We forget that there is a reason our body is telling us to take a break! :)
    FEEL BETTER!

    1. Yes I'm feeling better and yes, I'm guilty of just keep on going and I'll rest later - but when does later come? So I guess I've had a nice 4 day week and I'm back to my little munchkins tomorrow. (My husband said they'd be glad to see me and I said some more than others - I've already heard from the sub - lol)

  2. Hope you are feeling better! We had something like that at our school a couple of years ago. It was called Farm to You. The kids learned how food started at a farm and ended up at home. The final part was going through the human body. My class loved it! Take it easy this weekend!

    1. Yes! I'm feeling much better and have some voice so - yeah!!
      I like the idea of farm to you. We are a small city In the middle of a lot of agriculture - that would be something I think that would be real life to the kids. I wonder if they have that here in Kansas??

  3. I barely had a voice on Friday. It's not easy to pull of a job like we do without one. I do hope you're on the mend. Take care.
