Sick Day *Freebies

Achoo. Snort. Bleh.

British accent British accent

That's what my day sounded like today.
This is my new best friend. I take it every four hours, on the dot...
or I regret it.

I feel like someone is smushing my brain against a table. Not my head; just my brain. Every now and then my sinuses feel like they're full of pipe cleaners and my ears are full of water and I want to barf.
Lovely visual, I know.

I did stay home from work today, because I thought maybe a day of laying around would save me a few days of laying around in the long run.
I have laid around all day on the couch, but it's hard just to lay here and stare blankly.
I'm not a good day sleeper. I just can't fall asleep. I try and try, and nothing happens.
I get good at being lazy over winter break, but I'm out of practice. Maybe it would have been better if I had more episodes of Downton Abbey to watch, but I'm out of them. Have to wait for more.

So I watched the IT Crowd instead.
It doesn't really require much of your brain.
The only thing these two shows have in common? The British.

I tried and tried to lay and not think, but that's pretty tough without anything super riveting to watch. So I did this. It's a "Lucky Number Patterns Pack" and you can get it at my TPT store or my Teacher's Notebook store. It's perfect for a St. Patrick's Day math center and has additional practice.

 You can also grab this pattern freebie at  TPT.
*Just corrected!
 Then I finished this Suffix Activity Pack that I've been working on for a while, a little at a time. It includes -ful and -less activities: a center sorting game & recording sheet, poems, posters, and practice for each suffix. Grab it at TPT or Teacher's Notebook.
 And you can grab this freebie at TPT, too.

Now I'm going to lay here and pretend my head is not underwater.
I feel some pipe cleaners coming on, and a pretty good table smushing too.
Ew new symptom - prickly forehead headache thing.
Barf.

    1. Thank you so much for pointing it out! I just corrected it and everything should follow a pattern lol. I'm so glad you noticed - we really don't want to confuse any kids. That's what I get for making things in a sinus haze!

  5. Hi Chrissy, hope you feel better! British accents apparently inspire you, because your units look great! I'm one of your newer followers, and you've already helped inspire at least one post on my new blog!
    Cheers! Que te mejores!
