I started the week off sick….didn’t get much better throughout the week, but I did have a great Thursday – we won th e district championship in debate.  This is something we work towards all year so I am super happy for my students – even better is that one of my students is my Becka so it was a proud coach and parenting moment.  But all of this was still a icky day.  I just can’t seem to get myself well.  I was all excited yesterday because I had no after school plans, Becka was gone on an overnight field trip, and I was taking Cameron to spend the night with my grandmother.  I would be home early…and all alone. I was finally going to catch up on my sleep and get to feeling better (hopefully).  So after lunch my phone starts vibrating – Becka is sick…feverish, throwing up…and wants to come home.  So I make arrangements for someone to watch my last class and I drive the 4 hours to Plano to pick her up and then the 5 hours back (with all the stops for bathroom breaks).  We arrived back at 11:30 last night (oh, and I didn’t have time to take Cameron to my grandmother’s so she’s still home).

Today we had academic competition. I had to be up at 4 to get ready and head for the school, and poor Cameron had to get up and go with me since she was stuck home….We are just getting home…and I’m EXHAUSTED!!!  But the week is now officially done.  I’m curled up on the couch with my computer, a couple magazines, and some pizza.  I’m going to lay around a while and then do some WiiFitting.
