I still have my sore throat. I read on the internet that it can last 5 - 7 days. It has been five. I called the doctor this afternoon to make an appointment but they are booked for three weeks. I have to call each morning to see if they have had any cancellations. I think that a doctors office should leave times open for emergencies. I guess they expect you to go to urgent care. Only my urgent care co-pay is 75 dollars. If my throat is not better by next week I may just spend the $75 and go to urgent care. At least there you don't have to wait three weeks.
I am lucky I am well enough to work. I just have to stay doped up on IB profen all day. One more day and I get a weekend!!!! I wish I didn't have to do all my shopping this weeked. I would really like to just crash and spend the day in bed. Makes me sleepy just thinking about it!!!! Sometimes going to be is so nice. Last night I went to bed at 8. When I told the girls at work that, they were shocked. They don't go to bed until after 10. I don't know how people do that. My bed time is 9 and sometimes that isn't early enough. I have to have AT LEAST 8 hours of sleep to have the energy to work. Of course all these other girls don't have a thyroid problem! Lets see them stay up that late when their thyroid is all wacked out!!!! :)

Calling in sick
I HATE calling in sick. I got sick over the weekend. I could feel it coming on Saturday. On Sunday I was sick all day. I had a light fever all day and my throat hurt a little bit. By Sunday evening I was through. I was terrified that I had strep throat again. Kyle and Dad gave me a blessing. My fever peaked at midnight but by morning my fever was gone. I still wasn't well and my throat was killing me. I called in sick to work and stayed home. At least I knew it wasn't strep because my fever was gone. I am so thankful for preisthood blessings and the fact that there are worthy preisthood holders here who could give me a blessing.
So the reason I hate calling in sick. I don't know who my sub will be when I call in. We have some really great subs but they are always booked so if you call in a sub when you are sick you usually end up with REALLY bad ones. The sub I had yesturday was the WORST. I know her from a class at Ottawa and from meeting her at school when she subs. She has NO classroom management. What really got me was her note that she left for me. It said, "Your class is sweet. But they do not listen. We managed." I couldn't believe it! My class is great. Every other subs say my class is wonderful. But becuase I knew this teacher I knew it was because of her that my class didn't listen. The art teacher told me that when the sub took my class to art they were all over the place. The art teacher told them to get in a straight line and the sub told her, "they haven't done it at all that day." The art teacher had them in straight quiet lines within a few seconds. I really hope I don't get that sub again.
I have a sub today and tomorrow in the mornings because I am DIBELING. It is a state test that is given to all kinder through 3rd grade students. I am certified so they are making me help out. Luckily only in the morning I get to go back to my class in the afternoon. I have a great sub. She is so wonderful. She reminds me of Shelby!
Todays weather was AMAZING. I am so glad it waited to rain until after recess. Once we were inside it started to down pour! Then it began hailing. I had my kids stop what they were doing to come see the hail. My classroom has a giant window and has a covered patio area. I had them all go outside to watch the hail. Most of my kids have never seen it before. We didn't stay out for long because it was FREEZING!!!!!!!!! I love when I get to have those moments with my kids. Where we can just stop everything and watch the weather. Especially here is Phoenix were it is sunny 350 days of the year.
