School was closed Monday, and then I was out sick for two days. I still felt crappy this morning but I couldn't bear leaving the kids with a sub again, so I went in. I felt so punky by the end of the day, I almost cried, and I lost my temper with a wounded kid with limited social and emotional skills. I apologized to my class, and they were like, God, that's nothing, Miss Chancie, but I felt terrible, inside and out. I know it's just because I'm sick but I feel like I can't catch up, like I'll never finish grading, that I won't have time to call the parents of kids who aren't doing well. I still haven't ordered any of the supplies I need for my two hands on classes and I've been laying out my own money all year and I haven't filled out the form to get reimbursed. Ugh, I feel awful.
