Bloggy Break

 

 

Just a quick explanation for my lack of blogging...........first...school has been in FULL force for me since the end of July. Due to all of the federal and state mandates for schools and especially special education........I am just being hammered by paper work. I REFUSE to do paper work when my students are in my  classroom because I believe if the student is in my class, I should be teaching them.......NOT doing paperwork.....which results in having to work very late after school, at home at night, and on the weekends.  Right now.......I have very little life outside of school.

And.....added to that......my headaches have returned. For the past several weeks, I have had headaches for the majority of the days of the week. Thank God that they are bearable at school. However, by the time I get home in the afternoon.......they are terrible. And so....many days I just come home and go directly to the bedroom, close all the shades and make things as quiet and dark as possible.  At this point, the doctors have told me that "this is just part of the SAH from March". They can't tell me how long these will go on. It's possible they may go away or it's possible this may just be the way it is for me from t his point on. We are working on finding the right medications to deal with them to hopefully prevent them from getting out of control.

And that's where I am right now. I appreciate those of you who have checked on me.....sent me e-mails and prayed. I appreciate your concern more than you know. Next week, I have a few days off for Fall break. Hopefully, I can get some much needed rest and will be back to "normal" before long.

Blessings!

Hey Cindy! I have missed you SOOOOO much. I totally understand about school and have so much respect for your dedication to those precious children. Teachers like you are few and far between. Years ago I suffered from chronic migraines so I know how headaches can disrupt your life and drain every ounce of your strength. No matter how long in between your posts, I will always be your bloggy friend (and just plain old friend!!). Hope you are able to get some rest and enjoy your Fall break. Email me when you have a moment.

Love,
Colleen

Sorry to hear about the bad time you're having with headaches. That school schedule may have something to do with it. Wish you could be a lady of leisure and blog all day! Wishing you well, Jacqueline
