Give yourself a break! You probably care more than needed. Your family is more important than paperwork 😊

Thank you! When my routine gets switched around, I struggle. Plus the worrying about my husband, and I'm a mess.
That's a lot going on OP. Nothing wrong with knowing your limits and deciding it's time to rest.

I think that is my problem, it's knowing when to quit. I think, "Just one more...... ". Before long it's been hours of working on a project.
Sorry to hear about the emergency, I hope everything has resolved positively. Get yourself a good night's sleep, or at least the best night's sleep you can manage. And regroup in the morning.

We are still in a holding pattern. At least all the tests showed no heart attack. His cardiologist thinks it may be a blood pressure thing going in and adjusted his meds. We'll see!
I’m in a similar situation. I’m sick as a dog, I need to be up in 8.5 hours, I have a ton of grades to enter, I have quizzes to grade, I have notes to publish that I haven’t even made yet, and I’m completely wiped out. Fortunately, a state test is stealing all my juniors for the first four periods, which amounts to about half to two thirds of my class populations. I think everything will fall back a day and they can correct quizzes and homework.

He seems better today, and felt strong enough to paint a wall
We have to make modifications, excuse work at times, and adjust to student emergencies. Teachers are not immune life, and it’s okay to acknowledge that with students and yourself. Give yourself some grace.
So? They can reschedule! 🤨
When my son was hospitalized last year, Ed Puzzle to the rescue. I seriously assigned like 8 of them on the topics we were about to cover. I never even watched them. Didn’t grade there answers. Sometimes you just have to get through. My son ended up being type 1 diabetic. I teach math and I don’t care if they read a book all period. If he needs me, so what if they get an off day.

I told all of my classes that my Hubz has some health problems, and there may be days I am not there. If that is the case they will do typing.com or everfi.

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts. I ended up staying up to finish grading. So I am fixing to go to bed, have some asynchronous work to do on a CS workshop/PD, but can't focus. Y'all have a great evening.
