How can they WANT all those kids sitting in there drinking juice and whining about symptoms? I guess unless they call you, why should you care?!

I guess unless they call you, why should you care?!

My girl and her friends get in to contests I believe, to see who can visit the nurse the most often during the course of a single school day. We get to hear about her visits and those of her friends as well. I think her school nurse has a good BS meter, as I have never gotten a call yet this year. The word I can't stand to hear President Bush say..Nuclear. I came over by way of Woman With a Hatchet.

I totally didn't mean to sound like I was admonishing you. Csilla is already a drama queen, totally adept at manipulating me, so I know what it looks like and I'm the first to call her a fibber!! Your writing was clearly full of fondness and sincerity about your daughter. I only mentioned it because the weird thing about the ears is that they can cause other symptoms that often disappear after a little horizontal time on the couch. (And I'm not a swimmer, so I didn't know that's an outer ear thing). Sorry... forgive me? Jennifer – Oh Gosh!!! I totally didn’t mean to sound like I was admonishing you.

That poor girl. Sounds like the dad won't be winning any parenting trophies. How could they not tell she was pregnant? I hope the baby was okay? And the girl.

I hope the baby was okay? And the girl.

Oh, and girl (age 17) knew she was pregnant - but was too scared to tell anyone! True story - she's the mother of a classmate of my son's. I'm a mean mommy who always sends them to school no matter how sick they claim they are, and wait for the nurse to call me. One day DD didn't even make into class - her teacher sent her right to the nurse! I felt bad about that one.
