Student With Pink Eye + Lazy Parent =
Dear Parent,
Last Friday we sent your kid home with suspected pinkeye. I appreciate your heading to the doctor immediately. On Monday, your kid came back to school with...pinkeye. Uh, ma'am, when the doctor gives you a prescription for eye drops...the idea is to get it filled and actually put the drops in your kid's eyes. I understand you were sleeping when the nurse called you on Monday morning asking about the drops. You said you had a note saying he/she could be in school...but couldn't bring it cause...you were sleeping. No problem. Our handy, dandy truant officer was happy to pick it up. Yep, you had a note saying your child could return to school on Monday since the eye drops would have worked by then...if you had actually USED them. I had to allow your kid to come back in class with gooey, pink, hurting eyes even though I KNEW the germies would be everywhere. Did you take a good look yesterday before dropping your kid off at...9:00 am?? (According to your kid it took a long time to unstick the goo from the eyes.) Did you see the eyes were swollen, crusty and that yellow eye goo was half way down the face? This time the nurse called again and said no school until you get new drops since the first ones obviously weren't working...cause they never left the medicine bottle! So this morning...I wake up...with PINK EYE. Thanks, I really needed a day off...in the middle of the week...yeah, not so much.

About Me
I'm a wife, a mom, an educator and a normal (okay, relative term here) person who makes frequent mistakes. I have a lot to say, hence the blog. My kids were adopted as babies (one through an agency and one through the foster care system). I love to talk about adoption. My daughter has sensory issues as well as ADHD. I like to vent about parenting. I am occasionally rosy, usually blunt and sometimes I am simply downright rude. Don't read if it offends you. I may sometimes write about my school experiences so let me cover my bases. I don't live in your town, I don't work at your school, I am not talking about your child, you don't know me. If you think you've figured out who I am...ask me, I will lie and say you don't know me. email me at chocolatecoffeesleep@hotmail.com

At least it is not head lice AND pink eye...there is always a bright side!
Yeah, lice would definitely push me over the edge and cause me to make an absolutely unprofessional home visit. (okay, I would never, really do that but man, would I ever want to!)
How can I pass by a the blog name ... me.
My other favorites... captain dumbass, pawn star, wizard of otin... Love blognames.
I love it when parents let strep throat go!! I think it is kind of child abuse. Your kid has a throat so sore he can not swallow and you don't think maybe... just maybe you should see a doctor. I have had students miss 2 weeks of school over strep throat. It should have been maybe a day??? if they got the medicine....
Ok.... I guess you see I am right there with you!!!!
