Symptoms Today:
- fatigue (of course!)
- Sinus Pain/Pressure
- Stiff/Achy Joints
- Dry Itchy Skin
- Weight Gain (Is that a symptom? I feel my pants get tighter every day!)
Today is actually not so bad. This past weekend, I had a migraine that started Friday night and ended Monday night. How many hours is that? 72 hours?! I had to miss work on Monday but I am thankful that it went away by Tuesday because my students are STAAR testing this week. (Texas state assessments) Believe me it's a big deal and I had already been getting crap about "possibly missing work" on these days as if I pick and choose when I get sick.
So I have been stuck all day in the class watching students take a standardized test and I am not allowed to even read while they test. (4 hours long!!!!) So, naturally I was falling asleep. Even while I walked around the room my head would start to plop down. Thank God I had snacks.

Things I am grateful for today:
- I got out of bed this morning
- I dressed my son and put him on the bus
- I made it to morning duty semi-on time
- One student actually read a book and asked to borrow it (Yay! You can't imagine how happy it makes me)
- Of course, my husband and kids
- My mom because she wakes up early to drive to my house to take care of my daughter while we work
