I'm late to the game but we had 7 inches in my Atlanta suburb last Friday & Saturday. Such a rare occurrence down here! It was beautiful. But we had tree limbs falling everywhere in my neighborhood and power was out at my house for 48 hours and I...

I constantly get a complaint like, "my stomach is hurting," or "my head is hurting," etc.. When I ask how long this issue has been going on they'll say, "since math" or "it started when I was leaving recess" as if I have every student schedule memori...

Kid: My tooth really hurts and it's loose. I'm worried it's not a baby tooth. Me: Did you bump it into something? Kid: I bit down on a jawbreaker about 3 days ago? Me: Did you tell your mom? Kid: Yeah, but she's not really into teeth. And my dad is a...
I've literally been wearing black or gray for the past 3 weeks. Is that sign of depression? The string on my gray scrub pants is pink. Does that count?

Can I just say it? My nurse moms are the WORST. I have one that always challenges my "method" or says she's much too busy to come pick up her sick child. You know, her job is much more important than parenting. Her daughter has been sick multiple tim...
Ok, I just cracked up when you said "she's interviewing dogs today." Am I the only one who's picturing dogs waiting in a lobby holding their file folder with their resume? Or sitting at a desk, legs crossed, answering questions about their 5 year pla...
Urgh. I took a day off a few weeks ago only to get a call from my ex who said, "the kid isn't feeling good but I sent her to school and told her to go see the nurse if she starts to feel worse." I was all, " YOU!! You of all people should know not to...
I repair eye glasses, clean dog poop off kids, shoes, footballs and anything else, I keep spare uniform pieces for the times that kids are out of uniform or have bathroom emergencies or spills, I hem or repair uniforms when there's a uniform rip or t...
