I had to explain to him that just because I was gone he still had to do his work… The questions, “well why did you have to get sick?” followed… “You know how I’m always asking you to cover your mouth :)” BOOM.

My hidden stash of chocolate still out of sight? Will the guest teacher be returning?… That’s just a small example… the downwards spiral of sick days lasts from the minute I decide it’s happening to the minute I walk back into my classroom… the fear is real.
