Where does the time go?

So the past week has been not so great. Last Saturday was my Grandmother's birthday. The plan was f0r them to come up here with my Dad and Jeff and we would all go to lunch to celebrate. Well, the morning started off fine, but as time went on I started feeling awful. By the time they got here I felt like my chest was on fire. I had Papa check me out and he said that my lungs sounded clear. He said that I was probably in the beginning stages of the flu. We went ahead and left for Abuelos as soon as Jason got home from work. (For those of you who know me this next part tells just how bad I felt.) We got to Abuelos and ordered our drinks and I had to leave to go lay down in the car. I never pass up a chance to eat Abuelos! I spent the nexy forty five minutes in the car while the rest of the family ate lunch. When we got home my temperature was 101.7 and I felt miserable. Well, my Papa was right and I had the flu. I slept all day Sunday and missed Monday through Thursday of school. School is where this nasty thing started. On Monday, when I was out, I had seven kids absent! In my seven years of teaching I have never had seven kids absent on the same day! Tuesday there were five out, Wednesday there were three out, Thursday there were four out and then four again on Friday. We have this coming Monday off for President's Day, so I hope everyone comes back on Tuesday well! I am feeling much better and so far neither Jason or Ryder has come down with anything. We will keep our fingers crossed!
