I am soooo sick.

I don't know if I have the flu or what, but I was up all night puking and/or having diarrhea. Sorry for the TMI. I don't remember the last time I puked this much or this violently. I thought I was going to barf up my spleen or something.
I absolutely hate calling in sick, and I absolutely hate not going to school when school is in session. I always feel like a slacker when I stay home--but seriously, I don't think going to school would be a good idea today. I just took a tiny little sip of water because my mouth is so dry and immediately my stomach started bunching up to reject it.
IT'S JUST WATER! Accept it, you stupid stomach.
Right now, i am freezing. I am literally shaking I am so cold--my teeth are even chattering. I'm under all my covers with only my head and my hands poking out to type.
In a minute, I am going to turn off the computer and try to sleep again.
I called Susie B. to sub for me. I called Jay and left a message that I was staying home. I emailed Tracy to tell her what to have my classes do with the sub.
I am very frustrated. I don't remember another school year where I have been sick so much--and always with puking involved. I wonder if there is something in my meds that is causing this...This time, I am pretty sure it is actually the flu as it is going around big time. Three of my home room kids have been very sick with it.
I just feel crappy and miserable right now.
I am going back to sleep now, if I can. When I am sick, I just try to sleep until it is over. Like when I had surgery. Every time I woke up, I peed, marched around the nurses' desk a few times, then went back to bed and hit the morphine button so I could sleep and not feel anything. Ah, to have amorphine button right now...
sigh....
