Ah Mondays...(vent coming)

A full office of kids wanting to be sent home the second they get off the bus. :no:

A frequent flier whose mother is fed up with her as well.

And a kid who has missed the vast majority of the last 9 weeks showed up today with her passive aggressive parents outside my office because she has broken out in hives after receiving IV fluids at the ER yesterday. And I'm supposed to do....what exactly?

These middle school kids who are CONSTANTLY trying to avoid going to school are exhausting! :banghead:

We refer to this as Monday Morning Urgent Care. It's the worst day of the week! We were off on Thursday and Friday, so I'm getting 5 day old scratches and "I was sick on Friday" visits. Hang in there!

I feel your pain!! I am in the same boat about being frustrated with so many minor things. Breath deep, get some coffee, and vent away!

Got to love Monday mornings and parents not wanting to be the bad guy. I find that even some parents that recognize their child as a little malingerer are often hesitant to tell them to knock it off.

I'd really love to know what happened with the kid with the hives? I would have probably looked at them like they all had 2 heads and said pretty much what you were thinking. What did she get fluids for (and what type of fluids?)? Had the parents tried giving her a benadryl before dumping the problem in your lap?

My very first Monday morning visit:

A 1st grade boy walks in with his underwear wrapped in paper towels & says, "I was in the bathroom & was at the..the..what's that thing on the wall that's not a toilet?"

"A urinal?"

"Yeah. I was peeing on the urinal then I tooted but diarrhea shooted out my butt and got my underwear dirty."

And happy Monday to you, my little friend.

I haven't had kids trying to go home today...I think they're excited about having a half day due to elections tomorrow. But, come Wednesday, they'll probably start the pretenditis and fakery again. Uggghhh...

:blink: Well . . . we've all mistaken what we thought would be a toot . . . right? :facepalm:
