C'Mon Now!

[OyWithThePoodles]

Had a kid bring his wet, bloody tooth and plop it right on my desk.

C'mon now!

Or the kid that did running knee slide into my office.

C'mon now!

The ones old enough to cover their mouths but choose to cough right in your face instead.

All together: C'mon now!!

Some things just make me shake my head.

I just had a 2nd grade teacher send down a kid so I could teach him how to blow his nose because she did not think he was doing it right... only 3 more days until break!

Haha. My just turned 2 year old grandsweetie can blow the tissue right out of my hand. I think that 2nd grader needs my daughter to help him/her to learn (and many others) how to take care of snot.

OK. This one cracked me up, because anyone who has seen my posts about those dang "Oils" knows how I feel about them.

So, I got a referral from a teacher to re-screen a 1st graders vision. I screen the little one, and she doesn't pass. So, I am asking questions about if she has trouble seeing things at home or if she has mentioned this to mom. Sweetest little thing- she told me that she has told mom. Then...she said it..."my mom rubs Peppermint Oil on my eyelid. Do you do that??!! I say- No sweetie I don't. You need to take this note home and give it to mom. She needs to make you an eye appointment.":woot:

Student diagnosed by a fancy doctor with ALLERGIES yesterday and cleared for school related to his lovely red eyes.

Teachers FREAKING OUT that another cherub today has red eyes today AND IT MUST BE PINK EYE AND THE DOCTOR IS WRONG.

Student's eyes get red whenever they have a cold. Washed their face and became a miracle worker.

Then I passively aggressively sent them the conjunctivitis charts and told them that I use more data than "eyes are red" when making decisions and a doctor's diagnosis trumps me every time and I will not be calling them to argue. I'm excited for feedback.

I'm excited to hear the feedback too!!!!

What the focalin?

I have some love for a few select essential oils, and oddly, no love for type of people who walk around saying "oils" I don't know why, but I digress.

Peppermint?! Near eyes?! Owww.

And just to check that my reaction wasn't total ignorance I googled... and I learned all about the 2014 teenage trend of "Beezin" I don't think that was happening here although Gothamist did do an article.

I leave you to do your own Beezin search.

I knew some guys who would rub that on their eyes before meetings so that they would stay away because it makes your eyes sting. Well look at that, I guess there was more to it!

In 2010ish I remember "Ballin' " being a thing. That's when you'd do a shot of alcohol over your eyeball because it's so vascular. You get drunk FAST, but also can lose your vision, so ya know, priorities.

I got called to a classroom a few years ago, finger stuck in metal piece under desk. Took my vaseline - was ready to work some magic. When I looked under there the hole was way bigger than the kid's finger so I told her to pull it out and she did, no jaws of life or lube even needed.

I am balled up laughing under my desk here....

Today I had my diabetic student go pee on his ketone stick and he brings it back and is "tapping" it (wet with pee mind you) on my shoulder to get my attention. Uggh!
