The sickness is still here and I really shouldn’t complain. It is the first time this school year I’ve really been ill and *knock on wood* I am the only one in my house who contracted the headache-stuffy/runny nose-achy-sore throat-cough plague going around. Some of you may ask, “Why don’t I just stay home?” Well, all the working Momma teachers out there know – our sick days are few and far between, reserved for when our babies are sick, so here I sit, at my desk, surrounded by dirty tissues. Momma teachers must push through the sickness with pockets filled with Kleenex and cough drops and a mug of tea & honey.
As if feeling like a walking head cold wasn’t enough, on the way to work this morning something horrible happened. There was an owl trapped on the highway, everyone was driving bumper to bumper going 60, and it kept getting hit. I saw it too late, before I could even attempt to switch lanes, I had to hit it. And it was awful. I sobbed the rest of the way to work while my Mom tried to distract me with funny stories. I know it wasn’t my fault, that if I tried to swerve I would’ve hit the car next to me and caused a massive accident, but it doesn’t change the fact that I can’t stop thinking about it… so I am going to watch this video on repeat.
Everything that she says these days melts my heart! Thank God for our cute little girl.
I know exactly how you feel! I was driving by the reservoir by my old house and there was a man who pulled over on the side of the road and started to get out of his car. I was driving by and as he went to put his hands up and yell at me I heard a “thunk, thunk”! The turtle that he was just about to save, I ran over with both tires like a reckless, careless, teenager! I felt so bad and still do. You had no choice and that poor owl had no chance. I feel your pain.
Awww, I hope you feel better! The sickies are going around here, too.
Hope you feel better!! I couldn’t imagine working around kids with all those germs; push the thieves and lemon 😉
That video is too cute!! …and now I want soup and grilled cheese haha
Oh bless you! I rarely took sick days when working. I liked to take off when I felt good and could enjoy the day off!! Hope you feel better soon!
oh goodness 🙁 Id be bawling too if i knew I had to hit the poor thing. hope you get some relief for your cold soon dear! a play date needs to be in order for our littles! xo
Hope you get better soon, being ill is so no fun! Especially when you have to work and have children who could catch it. I have a cold too so I will join you with my box of tissues.
Ugh I had that URI for 2 weeks. It is miserable! Feel better soon!
