I Lied

I called in sick this morning. I said I had a sinus headache. Really, I don't.

I just needed some time. I want to meet my daughter's home-hospital instructor. He's scheduled to come again this morning, and I've never met him.

I need to spend some time updating my gradebook and working on lesson plans. I can't get it done during the school day because I'm so distracted by all the noise and kids.

When I've finished the work, I'm going to run to the gym. Then, I'm baking a cake--practice for a first communion cake that I'm doing in April.

But first, I'm going to goof off on the computer and cook a pot of steel cut oats. Then, I'm going to take the dog for a little walk before the snow comes.

I hope all of my MyBloggers friends have a great day!

Hi, some years ago I was in a car with my friend, who taught in an inner city NY school. She was on temporary leave to have a baby. Some teen-age boys stepped in front of the car, she gritted her teeth and muttered, "Don't tempt me." I still laugh about that.

I never call out of work unless I am sick, sick, sick. Now, last week it was snowing like mad and I call in and said I am not driving in this ####. Told them the truth. I don't think they liked the truth. LOL!

Actually, I'm having another El-Deluxe-O day! I hope you are too.

Most people take a sick day to chill out and relax at home but your's is packed full of busyness.

Everyone needs a mental health day every once in awhile. That way we don't strangle anybody...

Hi lady--glad you made here.

Sounds like a much needed mental health day. I highly recommend them to regroup and go back to work a little more refreshed! Good for you!

It's not really a day off if you're still going to work, Bea. I had the same problem - too many distractions to focus on planning or grading at school so I had to do the same thing. Enjoy your day!

Too bad you're not a few hundred miles north. You'd be enjoying a free snow day. On the other hand, they may have used them all by now and will pay for this in April! But have a good time! Sounds like a busy day!

You deserve to play hookey. I'm taking a sanity day next week. That's what I call them. They just gave Universal passes to all the teachers, so after my doctors appointment in the a.m. I'm going to go play!
