Cursing out the school nurse

Ok.. so the school nurse is on my bad list. BIG TIME.

Last week the kids had off on Monday for some sort of professional day. On Tuesday I got a phone call at 8:35 (meaning my kindergartner son had just gotten off of the bus) from the nurse saying that I needed to come pick him up right away... he had pink eye. Ok, so babygirl was sound asleep and it is freezing cold out and so since I'm not one to wake a sleeping baby I put her in her pajamas into a giant fleece snowsuit and then took her in the car. I still had to take her out of the car once I got to the school because I had to go in and pick him up, sign him out, go get him from the nurses etc. Then.... drove him to the doctors (30 minutes away) and she says "I don't think its pink eye but just in case, here's some eye drops". The nurse informed me that if it was pink eye he'd need to stay out of school at LEAST 48 hours or until it had resolved. So, he missed Tuesday.... they were supposed to go to Insectropolis bug museum, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday it was PJ Day and some kind of 3 little pigs play. And, let me tell you... his eyes were not red nor did he have any crusties or running other than maybe a little bit in the morning (which he always gets). This week, on monday he went to school - no problem. Great day. Tuesday I had to take babygirl up to her well visit since she is a big 2 year old. I'm getting to the doctor around 8:45 Am and the phone rings. Its the nurse... she says "You need to come pick him up and I need a doctors note before he returns. He has pink eye". So... my husband picks him up and drives him up to me at the doctors - I just stayed there with the little princess. They see my son and they say "Nope, not pink eye. Just looks like he is a little tired". So she writes a note that says he can safely return to school as of 2/6. So I drive him to school and HE THROWS A FIT. He won't go in, flops on the ground and wants to go home. Lovely - it took 3 people to get him into the nurses office and then I had to leave when he was in the middle of a fit. The paraprofessional said she got him to come around and then he had a great day.

Surprise surprise, this morning he WOULD NOT GET ON THE BUS. my husband had to drive him to school because the baby was still asleep and had a restless night from getting a shot yesterday.

I'm waiting to see if the nurse calls and says for me to come get him and what her reason is this time.


On a funnier note, yesterday when he did get home from school he ran up the stairs to the fridge. Layed down on the floor and then fell asleep! he took a nap on the kitchen floor for over an hour!!!
