Happy Friday

It's just the whine parade of congestion and all that goes with it (sore throat, mild nausea from pnd, headache) and the kids being frustrated that i won't send them home for a mild cold AND that i can't medicate them. I must give the same speech dozens of times a day.

TGIF!

I still have 3 days next week.

What I have I seen here? Concussions (basketball and wrestling) and mono. Also the stomach virus. Good times.

We have a whole school morning meeting. I had my PSA moment that explained why and what of coughing and the only thing I am going to tell you is drink lots of water. Far fewer whine visits.

Last day here! Woo! And only 3 hour attendance for the kids- most of it spent in an assembly! Yay!

2 high kids.

I have had headaches and stomachaches. And an increase of bumped heads because our playground is a sheet of ice, and every one is out there acting like Tom Cruise in Risky Business...

I seem to see the same thing everyday...headaches and stomach aches, no fever, no N/V. Teachers keep sending them, I keep sending them back to class.

I have a parent falsifying dr notes! Hooray! I received a dr excuse note with what looked like a very suspicious "7" imposed over a "1" for the date the student could return to school... call to the clinic and, sure enough, it was supposed to say "1". Sigh.

Good detective work kidz. :)

Vomiting. SO MUCH VOMITING.

Norovirus is going around here. I gotta get out of this place.

I swear every teenage girl in my school is on her period this week. So many feminine supplies and acetaminophen/ibuprofen for cramps.

And yes, cold symptoms. Drink more water kiddos. I will not send you home for a runny nose. Many stomachaches - my bathroom was a revolving door poop zone this week.

Also, the other nurse at the my other campus was out yesterday. I got called there 3 times. I seriously got back to my school to be greeted by the office manager to tell "I'm so sorry, but you have to go back..."

To a situation where the counselor should have been called.

I also have three days next week. Ugh.
