la greepppe- bleh

Salut- I'm not feeling too hot today.... la grippe (the flu) is going around all the schools and I think I've caught a little something. Thankfully, my dad brought me a few cough medicines I didn't need before, but am taking advantage of now! I'm bummed though because I'm supposed to babysit tonight for Corinne's kids.... and I called to let her know this morning that I had a little fever (I had one of those little disposable thermometers), and that I still wanted to come tonight, but didn't want to get her kids sick. She said she'd call again this afternoon to see how I'm doing, but that it probably wouldn't be a big deal to leave Julien to babysit the girls by himself. But.... we shall see. I don't have anything but couch laying and water drinking on the list of things to do today!

Besides starting to feel sick last night, I had a great double school day. The kids were cute as usual... although many were absent.... I didn't stay for lunch at the first school, so I was able to have a few hours to hang out and eat lunch chez moi. I've sort of decided that until Murielle comes back, I can use my afternoon lessons as an excuse to just come home and not feel like I'm in the way. When I got to the second school, the teacher that I sent materials to print and make copies of had forgotten because she was being observed today! She was mortified, but I just went to the computer lab and printed the stuff off I needed and was on my way. I had 2 really nice lessons where the kids went around and asked their peers what they had for breakfast.... and then I talked to another teacher who was interested in having me come for a few English lessons. She wants to do a Valentine's Day lesson.... so of course I couldn't say no! I love Valentine's Day and they don't really celebrate it here, except for between older married couples.... We will be making heart cards galore:)

Okie dokie, can't type much more, I'm having a hard time concentrating. Ugh! I hate being sick!

Reste cool:)
