A Sickening Feeling

Before school officially ends, I figured I should put up the picture Andrea took of me when I was subbing for Field Day. No, I don’t usually wear flip flops, T-shirts, and jeans, but I knew the day was going to be pretty physical. Don’t I look so “teacherly” behind the desk? 🙂

When I think about leaving Gaston, one of the things I would miss the most would be the kids. There are so many special ones in the classes. If I ever need some Vitamin T–my high school health teacher said the average person needs to be touched twelve times a day in a loving fashion to maintain a good level of mental health–I go into the elementary school. Hugs and hugs and a few more hugs!

Andrea caught a stomach bug and missed school today–the second to the last day! It was also “Twin Day” so her poor friend dressed as planned but had no identical other half. Most likely, Andrea won’t be doing the last day of school either. She’s really bummed about missing the talent show–in which she was supposed to be a double dutch jumproper. Also scheduled for tomorrow? Her dress rehearsal for tap and the final softball game of the season! Could she possibly have coordinated a more physically-demanding day?

Ever heard of someone missing the last day of school due to illness? I can’t recall it … That’s like being sick on Christmas!

    Why yes, I have. In fact, your poor nephew, TJ, just last year. Stomach flu as well. Hope she feels better! Give her our love.

    Thank you, Jessica. 🙂

    Ah, poor TJ …

    The good news is Andrea made it to school, but didn’t do the jumproping. Her team did a great job without her, though!
