Don't worry too much
By 1dayatatime2

Clip to ScrapBook   
As a sub, it upsets me that you don't have good subs so you feel guilty about leaving your kids. :( Its not that difficult to follow the teacher's lesson plans for the day. I've subbed when all that was left was lesson plans.
They were cryptic, but I figured it out. There have been a few days when I left the teacher a note saying she may want to reteach the day's math/science lesson because a lot of the kids seemed confused (whether it was because of me or the material). Maybe it won't be as bad as you think.

My mom is one of those teachers that won't miss school unless she is forced (in fact, she
has at least a years worth of sick days saved up - 400+). Her principal made her take an extra week off two years ago after she was briefly hospitalized and it made her crazy. Luckily, I was able to sub for her so she didn't worry too much about who was in her room.

I hope you were able to recover and not worry too much over the sub in your room. Your health is important. Wouldn't your kids be behind if you were so sick you couldn't teach the information well? Take care of yourself.
