lock down drills and flu season

today was our first lock down drill and of course that means flu season needs to hit full speed. Of course 3 minutes before the scheduled lock down my little miss red (each child has a color assigned to them.) decided that she was thinking she might puke so we made a trip to the office and of course ended up having to spend the lock down in the nurses office sitting on the floor during cold and flu season. Doesn't that sound like fun? Then as the day went on I had several students say they were no feeling good. But the kicker was at about 2 when the little boy across from me looked up and you could just see that he was going to barf any time, you know the look. So we made like cheetahs and walked as fast as his little legs would go with the bucket in front of us to the nurses office and thankfully I didn't have to sit on the floor with the nasty germs.
