I have to vent real quick. Here I am on a Friday at 4:00 still at work when school got out a half hour ago. A teacher that I am close with told me how the 7th grade teacher was complaining about me because I wasn't up in her classroom to escort the student with the knee injury on crutches (see other post) down the stairs exactly at 3:15. Excuse me but that was not the time I said I would be up there, I was currently writing up an accident report on an injured preschooler (my school is prek-8th) and I have basically been running around all day or on the phone with parents.
No lunch, no twenty potty breaks (the teachers all use my bathroom) and I had to skip a pumping session because I was babysitting an autistic student acting up in class. So now on a Friday when I want to be going home to my five babies, I'm sitting in my closet pumping and then documenting everything from today because I'm behind on a lot of documenting because the teachers send me every bruise and runny nose under the sun!
And I know nurses stay late often, I always did at my other nursing job and here as well. But don't you dare talk about me behind my back when I go completely out of my way for everyone here. Sorry for the vent, I had to get it out. It's something with the middle school teachers lately. The 8th grade teacher complained last week because I have to pump for my four month old. You bet I printed out articles about the right to pump at work!

Thanks for listening!! After a day off for snow and a delayed opening today, I'm feeling better. I read back what I typed and feel like I came off snotty or bratty! Just a tough day. I do agree with the above that I don't exactly know what a teacher's day is like and they don't know what mine is like. I sometimes feel like they must think that I just sit and twiddle my thumbs waiting for students to come in. I'm hoping the rest of the week flies by!! And the best part of this week is that all of my screenings are finally done!!!
