Please ekscuse...



I recently made a career change. I was lucky enough to be hired as a school nurse. While I had a few rough spots initially, I am starting to settle in. I have off 52 days not including summer break (and weekends), I am home every day as my tribe gets off the bus, I have the luxury of picking what school in the district the tribe attends and I have the pleasure of Noah's company as we ride to school daily.

Yes the pay reflects that I have off 52 days not including summer break, but I think I have convinced myself (and my sweet hubby) that it is all worth it.

As usual it's the little things that crack me up. I have begun to save school excuses that parents send in...having sent in many myself, I have to wonder what slips I have made and who might be giggling at my expense. My favorite came last week "Please excuse Johnny, he needs to pee alot. He has a small bladder."


Real school notes written by parents.

23. Maryann was absent December 11-16, because she had a fever, sore throat, headache and upset stomach. Her sister was also sick, fever and sore throat, her brother had a low grade fever and ached all over. I wasn't the best either, sore throat and fever. There must be something going around, her father even got hot last night.


It may never be easy but it will always be worth it.
