Post Halloween

[1mrsbs]

On a personal note I love Halloween.

On a professional level November 1-4 are the worst days ever!!!!

Who is with me?

Lots of playground injuries today, but no trick or treat related illness! Now it's after lunch and they won't get away with "I ate too much candy last night"

Today has been a BEAR. Lots of silly complaints because they all have post Halloween depression.

One kid told me he couldn't breathe and then proceeded to admit that he "just doesn't want to be here" today. That makes 2 of us, pal.

A kindergartner got poop EVERYWHERE in my bathroom. I have no idea how. The walls, the floor, under the toilet seat, all over his hands and on his clothing.

A student was mad that I was refusing to call home. He insisted he had a fever (temp 98.8) and strep (throat WNL) and threw my reusable ice pack in the (empty) garbage when I told him it was time to go back to class. When I asked him to please take the ice pack out and hand it to me, he said "I don't want to put my hand in a garbage can!" to which I replied "Well, neither do I."

Our new principal and secretary are proving to be more burden than asset.

And my lunch is totally lame.

It's nothing big. Lots of little things that are making me one very grouchy tomato. HOWEVER I have Thursday-Friday off and school is closed Monday and Tuesday. Helllooooooo 6 days off!!!

OMG! My T1D who admitted to eating a TON of candy last night makes the Chipmunks on caffeine look lethargic. Had to call mom to tell her to come get her, the student is out running laps on the playground.

My receptionist and I are taking bets as to what time the first stomachache or general "I don't feel good" is going to roll into the clinic. I think I have less than an hour...

Mine was about 8am. We start at 7:45.

Yesterday there were 3 kids waiting for me when I arrived. 2 were waiting today.

I had the worst day I have had ever yesterday. I still had a great day compared to my coworkers here, but I am amazed what Halloween can conjure up. This morning started up with a bit tongue, won't lie, never dealt with that before.

Did the child bite their own tongue... or did someone else bite it?

He bit his own. Compound that with a school trip to our new school site for groundbreaking, and it was a wonderful start to the day. Only saving grace was mom was at the groundbreaking.

My first year, I had a student bite another student's tongue. That was a weird conversation... Apparently one kid thought it would be funny to lick another kid and the kid being licked did not find it funny and thus bit the offender's tongue! Kid's tongue was bruised!
