The Joys of Teaching

So, I was super excited - I started a blog, got on to Facebook and even got some followers!  It was going along great, and then I got the flu!  I know, it's part of the teacher's job description.  But, I swear, I did NOT see this one coming.  I've had a fever and aches and pains for four days!  Did I mention that grades close today and report cards are due early next week???  And the emails that keep coming in.  It's great that I can check my school email from home, but it's starting to stress me out.  Parent conferences are right around the corner.   The best part of all - I got a new student!  The poor thing - she's had a different teacher all week.  I know you have all been there before.  Please tell me it's going to get better.
