  1. Off topic- food

    The Mississippi Roast is delicious! I try not to make it too often because it just can't be good for you...has a whole stick of butter in it and it is SOOO rich. DD and hubby love it. And it literally...
  2. Off topic- food

    Ooh, and speaking of chili! I've made buffalo chicken chili twice in the past month. It's amazing! It's at crockpotgourmet.com. You MUST try it. Super easy and super yummy on a cold, fall
  3. Off topic- food

    The brussel sprouts sound almost good but the cauliflower...I just might eat that! Even without cheese or gravy! I made Mississippi Roast last night which is basically a chuck roast with butter,...
  4. How much time do you get for Thanksgiving break?

    The whole week of Thanksgiving...Monday through

    I still revel in the fantasy of spitting on the
  6. Off topic- food

    Mmmm...gravy! You go with your 2 mile run, girl!! But, brussel sprouts? Ugh, I don't think I've ever even had one of those. Can you put gravy or cheese on them?? On a happier note I've lost the 5 lbs...
  7. Tools for opening medication packets?

    Maybe a small letter opener
  8. Not having kids until 35

    We adopted from China at 32. It has been incredible. And maybe because we are at a private school and other parents tend to be more mature as well we are actually right in the middle as far as...
  9. Cough drops

    Right? I remember a friend bringing her antibiotic in her thermal lunch box so it would stay cold and taking it at the appointed time all by herself. I remember getting stung by a bee on the...
  10. It's not even 8 am yet (here)...

    Hee hee...that made me
  11. What warrants a call home?

    Is chapped lips a diagnosis? Ha! Don't you love it when parents blame you for not noticing the terribly ill child they sent to school
  12. It's not even 8 am yet (here)...

    Does everyone have one of those??? I think the full moon got stuck last week and it's hanging around. I had a 2nd grade teacher bring me two footballs with dog poo on 'em last week because that's my...
  13. Nosebleeds

    Ugh...mine's the opposite. Kids come rushing to the clinic with a "horrible nosebleed" then they pull the tissue away with one teeny drop of blood. I think they are mostly traumatized by my...
  14. Off topic- food

    Oh, I'm not in school. I'm a school nurse. I guess I have the baked lays because they're less calories and I gotta save somewhere, ya
  15. Med-Surg wasn't for me, either. I loved the learning but it was stressful and often scary when I was newly out of school. I think I would view it differently now but I would still be scared if I...
  16. Teaching hygiene to (stinky) 5th grade girls

    Excellent idea! Something went terribly wrong with my sweet little girl's feet in 5th grade. We had to attack them on all fronts...sweat wicking socks, odor eaters spray, having her wash & dry her...
  17. Teaching hygiene to (stinky) 5th grade girls

    EARLY in the 5th grade year is a great time for this talk. The boys need it, too! And sticks of deodorant is an exceptional prize. Girly soap would be a good prize, also. Everyone says around here the...
  18. Sub Nurses

    So is your primary job to be a sub nurse? Or do you have your own school that you typically are at everyday? I get your whine, though...one nurse has already been out 6 days this year? Sheeshamonkey,...
  19. Grim Reaper Day

    Good Lord! I don't see this happening in my Christian school but I like the message of it. We're not even allowed to celebrate
  20. Off topic- food

    Gah! Are you my twin?? My hubby has been traveling for almost 5 months and, I swear, my daughter and I are having a permanent party. No cooking dinner, just eating crap 24/7. I've gained 5 lbs since...

    Yes! And then remove the
  22. Cough drops

    So I should start spitting on my students and advise teachers do the same? I like it! I'm already reallocating my hydrocortisone budget. Thanks! And it's spelled "skeeter." I went to high school with...
  23. Cough drops

    I didn't know they were called ellipses. I call them "dot dot" or "dot dot dot" depending on how long I'd like that pause to be between words or phrases......ya know..for dramatic
  24. Cough drops

    I'm still trying to figure out what on God's green earth kids are doing with Vaseline at school these days that is so danged dangerous. Am I gonna have to google this mess right here at work??...
