Sick Day Guilt. I took my very first sick day today. I was out all of Sunday plus late into Monday (2 am) throwing up because of food poisoning. I couldn’t get a sub in time because it came on so quickly and our district currently has a sub shortage. My kids got split up into K and 1st grade classes since we didn’t have a sub.I feel so guilty for taking the day even though I was sick. Has anyone had this guilty feeling before despite actually being sick?

Forgot to mention I’m now a 1st grade teacher. I was 2nd last year.

Yes. But you must take of yourself. Do not feel guilty. This is a district problem. Your health is priority number one.

First trimester insomnia?
I’m only about 5 weeks, but my sleep schedule has gone off the rail the last three nights. I’m sleepy/drowsy, settled in bed around the same time every night, and yet I cannot fall or stay asleep. I have a white noise machine, comfy bed, cool room.. etc. When I do fall asleep, it’s earlier in the morning and I sleep until 1/1:30pm. This was fine the first few nights since it was the weekend, but it can’t keep up. Anyone else experience this and have any recommendations?
