And I Was Doing So Well...

...on blogging consistently that is.

The truth is I got deathly sick. Okay, not so much deathly, just sick. But the thought of sitting upright when I could be laying down wasn't kosher with me. Sorry 'bout that. At some point in my illness I was delirious. Jamie alleges (since I don't remember) that I was scared of the "blue men trying to sit on my head and suffocate me" and that when Jamie told me there were no blue men, I was convinced that he was tryin to kill me and started crying.

Weird. I wish I remembered that.

Anyway, I'm all better now. Thanksgiving break makes it even better. We had a successful night last night -- Jamie's brother and his girlfriend are here for the week and I attempted my first Thanksgiving dinner. All in all it was a success! Yummy turkey, (tofurky for Jamie), stuffing and gravy, sweet potatoes, corn bread, cranberry sauce, stuffed mushrooms, brie and brown sugar, candied walnut and apple salad, and of course pumpkin pie. And no disasters. Sweet.

Also, the kiddies were AMAZING on Wednesday. I was bracing myself for the worst -- supposedly the day before break is always the worst -- but they were incredible. They were respectful. There were times when you could hear a pin drop in my classroom because they were so busy working on a creative writing. All around lovely.

Now, I must try and survive the mountains of work that piled up when I was sick from school for two days. Boo.

Will post again soon.
