Back at it!

With all of the crazy weather we've had, my first day back at school got pushed back two days.  I didn't end up going back until Friday, but I had no complaints because anybody can handle a Friday, right?  I was super excited about returning today, but Snow Day #15 made that slightly impossible.  I am definitely not complaining about another snow day as we were gone all weekend and today has given me a chance to catch up on a lot of things that needed to get finished! 

But, back to the first day...  it was terrific!  It's kind of hard not to have a terrific day when your co-worker/third grade teacher brings you a box of chocolate, your teammate brings you a McDonald's sweet tea, your students shower you with hugs and gifts, and your school counselor sends you a sweet text along with every other friend and family member! On the other hand, being out for almost nine weeks does a number on your memory!  I completely forgot about being able to wear jeans on Fridays and even forgot part of my daily schedule!  I guess that's what happens when your only scheduling consists of doctor appointments and the Price is Right. :)  Below is a picture my mom snapped from her phone Friday morning after I dropped Grayson off. 

Tomorrow, I go back to the doctor to get the stitches out of my cheek.  Yay!  Several of my students said they thought it was a mole!  On Friday, I opened up each of my four rotations with a discussion about my accident and healing.  The students had a few minutes to write down any questions they wanted me to answer and then we spent a good 15 minutes talking about the accident, Ella, my surgeries, my feelings, and the biology of the eye!  They had some great questions and I loved getting to teach some science!  I really wish I had an appointment with my eye doctor sooner than later because my upper eyelid and skin under my eye has been swelling quite a bit the past several days.  I have been waking up and going to bed with an ice pack on my eye and started back on the Ibuprofen.  Hopefully it's just part of the healing phase and will stop soon!

Until next time, I hope everyone has a blessed day! :)
