A Shameless "Feel Sorry for Me" Request

Spring Break 2006 ends today. I successfully put off doing any work until this last day, but now I find myself with the stomach flu. Thinking the symptoms had been brought on by the moderate sum of wine I consumed Friday night, I held off giving my ailment a name until today. Gatorade and club crackers have been my only companions, and whenever I think I feel well enough to get out of bed, I find myself stopping to rest part way across the house. I mustered up the verve to shower at one point, but had to sit down for a spell mid-lather. If I keep myself on bedrest all day, this thing should run its course and I'll probably be fine to teach tomorrow. Of course, I will have nothing to teach because I have not yet planned any lessons for our new unit. Poor me. Why does the end of Spring Break always have to suck so hard?

Play the sympathy card with the kids.

Videos are good.
And subs can pop em in pretty easily.
A sick day might be appropriate.
You are sick after all.
Feel better kiddo.

Oh dear. You should have called to get the requisite family sympathy. I have plenty of it to pay forward cuz I've been playing that card too. I hope you feel better today and still took a Sick Day to catch up for tomorrow. Sometimes we just need to admit that we just need a break ... Spring Break is NOT ENOUGH!
