It’s the official start of my winter break – woohoo!!!! This moment always makes me incredibly joyous that I am a teacher. Two weeks off in the middle of the year!
Well, my body decided to celebrate this occasion a day early by giving me the stomach flu Thursday night. All I have to say is – UGH! I don’t ever want to go through that experience again. It was the most miserable throwing up experience ever. I was up a grand total of 4 times during the night for some very violent upchuckage. So needless to say, I had to call in sick on my last day of school! I have lived off of toast and gatorade for the past 24 hours. Last night I moved on to saltines and Propel fitness water (less sugar than gatorade). I took a big long nap yesterday, slept great last night and I think I’m out of the danger zone. My ribs are sure sore, though.
I woke up at 6:30 this morning. It’s going to take some time for my body to change gears. I watched “Good Morning America” and “Regis and Kelly”, two shows I never watch, while wrapping christmas gifts. I also made a quick run to Walmart before it got too insane.
Phil and I are heading out into the fray today (nice rhyme, huh?) for some last minute gifts. School let out so late this year that I am struggling to get everything done!!!
And there is the ever-present pile of laundry to be done and the house to be cleaned. Just thinking about it makes me tired.
BUT I HAVE TWO WEEKS OFF!!! There, now I feel better :)
Merry Christmas!
