Hello...
Well today was officially my second day back at work and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I worked until 6 tonight and can't believe how tired my legs and feet are tonight! I fear that I am going to have my hands full getting my students back to a good place. The word on the street is they have become quite disrespectful to each other and that is just not something I can tolerate. Wish me luck as tomorrow my be rough on both me and my students! The good news though is that my room is clean and a bit more organized which gives me a much needed sense of ownership. Undoubtedly, it has been hard to be away from both Gianna and Rosalia, but refreshing to spend time with my friends, who by chance just happen to be my colleagues as well! The more I ponder tomorrow, the closer I get to facing the challenge (in my head just now the Eye of the Tiger is playing! haha)! Thinking about going back to my students makes me realize it is a bit like weight loss. In order for progress to occur, one must be consistent, dedicated, and encouraging. Someone may need to remind me of this by the end of the week...lol!
I am so sorry for Tristan. I really empathize with him. I have had mono and let me tell you...no es bueno. I felt just completely wiped to the point I couldn't even get off the couch. Mom is right about the fact that it took weeks and a pretty horrific rash for the doctor to finally label it mono. Then it was an entire week home from school and then some if I remember correctly. I even remember that I had to miss our basketball playoff game because they were worried about one of my internal organs (possibly my liver or pancreas?) getting hit and bleeding internally. So tell Tristan no wrestling until long after he is better! The other interesting thing I remember is that the doctor said my blood would always carry the mono strand and if ever tested for it, my results would come back positive.
OK...I need to get to bed. I have been very blessed with two wonderful sleepers and need to take advantage of a good nights sleep. Along with this weight loss thing is also the realizationt that I need to become a much more balanced person. This most likely will require a bit of letting go...especially of the things that can wait until tomorrow! I love you all and please tell Tristan that we are thinking of him and wishing him bueno health soon.
All my love,
Suz

We'll all be thinking of you as you work to regain control of your classroom. I bet you'll have them back in shape soon, as they will realize pretty quickly that you are the alpha in the room ;)
ReplyDeleteI bet the dr was worried about your spleen rupturing and your liver, and that's why you couldn't play basketball. Yesterday, Tristan's spleen was not enlarged.
