STREP!!

Oh my goodness! This week has been CRAZY! I was feeling a little ill on Sunday, but I didn't think anything of it..(Famous last words!) so I went on with planning my week! Monday was good. I started off good, but then the body aches started!! And instead of going home to rest, we had a staff meeting, and I had to stay late to get all of our end of the year stuff ready! :( Tuesday comes along and I have to be at a training all day. I'm still feeling sick but Advil was my best friend so it helped a little. Well my goodness, Wednesday comes!! OH MY!!! I get to school and right away start feeling like I am going to fall to the floor and pass out! I am also feeling VERY nauseous! I knew that this day was going to be bad! I asked my VP if BY CHANCE I could leave early because the school nurse said my throat looked like strep! I was so relieved when he agreed! Now before I leave, I have to get my kids ready and split them up into the different classrooms. Still feeling ill, I do all of my paper work, and go to pick up my kids from P.E. I get my kiddos, and all of the sudden I feel weak, like I am about to faint, and also like I am about to get rid of my breakfast!! I B-line it straight to my classroom. No stopping in the hallways at all, which is uncalled for any other day!! My kids were so funny because I was ahead of them, walking very quickly, and their poor legs could barely keep up!! I just did NOT want to pass out or vomit in the hallway!! HOW EMBARRASSING! So I finally get to my room, and head straight to my desk. My thinking is that if I sit down, it will all go away! WRONG! I sit down and the kids start piling in. They are being very quiet because they know something is not right! One of my little boys comes over to see if I am ok, and I immediately tell him to grab me the trash can! Not two seconds after he puts it down..the unthinkable happens. Teachers are not supposed to do that..is what my kids are probably thinking!! I probably scarred them for life!! Their reaction was so perfect though! There were a few words said to each other, but other than that, they were silent and ready to help!! I felt so bad, but I think they felt worse!! I love my kids! So I rush my kids out to their other teachers so I can leave and finally get a chance to go to the doctor! The doctor gives me the strep test and says to wait for ten minutes! 3 minutes later...Ms. Matthews, YOU HAVE STREP! UGGHHH!! And apparently it had gotten so bad that the bacteria went into my stomach and made my stomach upset!! Not fun!! I feel soo much better with the medicine that they gave me! Hopefully this next week will be better! I don't think it could be any worse!
