I've been fighting a cold on and off since last week. I took yesterday off because I sounded like Barry White's female cousin, and today, while teaching my first period class, I lost my voice! Needless to say, the 7th grade VP insisted that I go home. My husband is heavily leaning toward me taking tomorrow off too. But, goodness, 2 1/2 days of sick time and it isn't even the middle of October yet? Oh well, I have to be able to speak in order to teach! Off to make another cup of lemon zinger tea.

If you don't stay home to get better, you'll just get worse. Enjoy that tea (and the downtime)!

Exactly, you must stay home to get well and don't feel bad about it. I wish I had taken my advice two weeks ago. If I had I wouldn't be walking around like the living dead. I have a nasty cough that just won't go away and now i'll have to make a doc appointment b/c i didn't stay home and get well like i should have. i know its easier for other people say stay home but in the world of teaching if you get sick or die or quit, they'll find someone to replace you in a matter of days if not hours. So take care of yourself so that you can do you job--this is the same advice that was given to me my first year, i wish i took it more often.
