Stupid School

I have missed a lot of school over the last two weeks. Last week was a shortened week and I missed three out of four days because I was sick. And this week my daughter was sick so I missed the last period Wednesday to take her to the doctor, al lday Thursday because I had to stay home with her, and the last period on Friday because she got sent home from daycare. Clearly I can not control any of this. But it seems as though no one in this school understands. Mrs. Miller is getting onto me because I am failing gym since I haven't been there. Mrs. Smith is complaining because I missed a quiz and haven't made it up yet. And it's not like I'm not trying. Gym just so happens to be my last period of the day so there fore when I miss the last period of the day for whatever reason that is the class I miss. And as far as Mrs. Smith is concerned I was suppose to take it Wednesday after school but couldn't do that, the was suppose to take it Thursday morning but hey that didn't work out either. I understand that it is not the teachers responsibility to make sure I am here but it would be nice if they understood. I don't want special treatment but a little consern or understanding. An extra day when I am sick and not just for the first 8. Especially the teachers that have kids and know what it is like when a child gets sick and YOUR the primary care giver. I don't have any family around here to watch her if she gets sick and all my babysitters are in school. So when she gets sick I'm number one in line to be taking care of her and staying home. Being a mom is high school is really hard. Sometimes...I just feel so alone.
