I am an elementary school teacher, if I had my own classroom this year it would be my 8th year teaching. When I moved to Iowa I wasn't able to find a full time teaching job, so I took a position at a school as a full time building sub. This position means that I go to work everyday and work teacher hrs but I don't get paid full teacher wage. Needless to say it has been a rather difficult transition; the school that I work at is in the rougher side of town. These little babies just need love and acceptance from adults around them. Because the adults in their lives are not always reliable nor are they present, the kids are in a lot of pain.
This morning I went to work and it was a normal morning. I had my chia tea and my protein drink that I have every morning (12 lbs down baby!) and at 10 am I got the sudden flu. I don't know what else to call it. One second I was fine and the next second I was not! I ended up needing to go home. The class I was subbing in, I have been in for the last two weeks, has really grown to love me and when I said I needed to go home the were really sad, I even had one crying.
When I got home and had a good nap, broke my fever, I read this, and so I had to write about it today.
