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.

Yes it obviously is a reason because I literally just rubbed lotion on a scaly elbow. Haha

So we are starting to see alot of Flu cases now and teachers are starting to freak out - I have seen about a dozen kids today for temperature checks because the kids are telling teachers they are hot or the teachers are using their thermometer hands to diagnose - so far all have had normal temps and all had on layers of clothing, sweatshirts and even a few jackets INSIDE the building - GRRRRR.....sometimes I wonder if these teachers have any common sense - tell the kid to take off a layer or two or their jacket and maybe they wouldn't feel hot!

I have been getting Dr. Oz advice from people (and family) my whole career as a nurse. He's everyone's favorite doctor lol

Funny thing is, the CV surgeon I used to work with was the most humble man. He would defer any medical question save OHS for other specialists. He would say "I only fix hearts". Dr Oz could learn a thing or 2. Kind of scary what Oprah has produced, Dr Phil and Dr Oz.

Right?! I cannot believe how many "I'm cold" or "I'm hot" kids I see in a week! Put on a hoodie or take off a hoodie, it's not that difficult...

I understand that precious pumpkin pie is having a hard time with the crutches she just started using yesterday. However, I cannot give her my wheelchair to use for the next 6 weeks because then I will not have a wheelchair for emergencies.

Well we've got a fun new stomach bug at the school. I've had three kids vomit in my office. One little guy projectile vomited on my desk and all over the garbage can. Excuse me while I repeatedly sanitize everything.

I am feeling SO grateful right now. But I know....as the stomach turns.....

Ok, not school related, but at my LTC care job, a family member mailed "Cannibalm" to a resident in the memory unit. They live in state where it is legal.

These folks are in this unit because they have no ability to function independantly, so

mailing a tin of ointment with a cannabanoid they could apply or ingest is really a great idea!!!

Yikes!!!

I received a phone call right when I walked in

"My son saw the doctor yesterday and tested positive for Strep throat. He didn't have a fever so I sent him on the bus this morning. I'll drop off his prescription later today for you to give it to him."

C'MON NOW!!!

Well. We made it to January without a lice issue and it finally happened. I now get the pleasure of typing up a letter to inform all of the parents of this class about said lice. :sniff: I am not, however, looking forward to the slew of calls of panic that we are about to receive in the next few days regarding this letter we get to distribute.

C'mon now, Texas....was it REALLY necessary to add fuel to the fire in relation to the touchy subject of lice?!? :wtf:
