I am exhausted, and quite frankly, I’m in desperate need of a vacation. All of last week and yesterday and today, I have been fighting the flu. And not just any old flu- this was the deep-down-in-the-bones, rip-your-chest-out, my-ears-are-so-clogged-that-I-can’t-hear-my-own-thoughts kind of flu. My ears are so clogged and when I went to the Minute Clinic, the nurse Practitioner said that my ears were to clogged with wax to get a good look at my eardrums. I don’t know how to clean out my ears because touching them hurts so badly. I am going to put olive oil in them tonight.  My mom use to do this to us when my sister and I were kids and it apparently kept us from getting wax build-up.

Anyway, we had Professional Development today at work, and I am so happy it is over. Not because it was boring, but because a colleague and I spent almost 59 hours (I’m not exggerating) spear-heading the events of today. It started with me setting up an online sign-up form for the staff/ Staff member could go online and choose which workshops they wanted to  attend during the four sessions. In fact, we even allowed them to sign-up for their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices. SOunds easy, right?

WRONG!!!!!!!!!

Between the incompetent AP’s, the absent-minded teachers, and the fact that I have the flu, this was a unbelievably horrible week. I am so tired and after having to bite another teacher’s head off yesterday, I am ready for a vacation.  I did get recognition for my hard work- a certificate and flowers.

So, that is my week. And it’s only Tuesday.
