on the plus side, "party days" seem to cure malingering. The results are remarkable.

Flare, I am so counting on this today...it's my first Valentine's Day in elementary!

oh, i just royally ticked off a second grader who came in sick and didn't think i'd really send her home. Fastest recovery ever. Too bad she actually had a fever and the tylenol mom gave her hadn't kicked in yet.

In my side I already have 3 cases of the flu, one A and one B and another one unknown. Lots of fun!

WTH do Middle Schoolers need a Valentine's Day Party?

Ours are going to the Holocaust Museum...quite the opposite of a party.

I'm not sure why, but this made me chuckle!

Our Middle Schoolers don't get a party - but for $1 they can get a list of students a computer has "matched" them with ?.

I asked my 7th grader if he was going to get his matches. He disgustingly informed me "No!". Good boy!

I am a school nurse and today I brought back a shoelace back from the dead!!

It was touch and go there for a moment. 6th grader's shoelace broke in class - teacher told him to have nurse reattach appendage. However, broken part of shoelace thrown into trash in classroom instead of being placed in a plastic bag and put on ice (funeral announcements for the amputated string will be announced at a later date).

Somehow, through very tense medical skill, laces still long enough to tie together in a knot.

Phew, I really did need to decompress over this near tragedy!! Thanks for listening colleagues!

Shoe Lace Lives Matter!!!
