Pat on the back for me!

[FallinWoman 1]

Ok....most of you know that I have been sick for a really long time. I have been home from work since November.

The new school year just started. I was there.

I am feeling almost normal, but I still get tired easily. This week kicked my ass. In a big way. I made it through, met all my students on thursday and Friday, and took a huge nap when I got home.

I am really proud of myself for being back in the school that did not treat me very well while I was sick. I am ignoring all the political bullshit and just focusing on the kids....that is why I started teaching in the first place!

Thank you to all who have sent words of encouragement over the past year. A special thanks to Mike for asking about me all the time, and Skymedic for taking care of me.

Glad you are getting back to normal and that things are better at school. It was great to finally meet you and Marc at Rantoul. Now it's time to start jumping your ass off again.

Stay safe,
Mike

That is so wonderful. I'm glad you are feeling well enough to head back to work.

Take care of yourself,

Congrats!

I'm proud of you, too - they don't deserve to have you back after the way they treated you.

I'm going to bump this puppy up and agree with you -- you totally rock! You have every right to be proud of yourself for putting the kids and your love of teaching ahead of the politics.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Anne is definitely one of the coolest. Getting to see you two once a year at Rantoul just isn't cutting it. I may have to schedule an IL trip before the weather turns to mush.
