Somebody stop me...

So this week I began noticing that everywhere I have been there is Christmas music playing. This is playing mind games with me (I think that is the point!). In Krogers, I instantly got into a holiday baking mood (highly unusual). At the mall and Target I felt my pulse rise and I became slightly panicked...Christmas is obviously very close and there aren't alot of crowds yet and I haven't really done my holiday shopping yet SO I BETTER START NOW!!!!! I love the holidays and the great music and all, but I cannot find enough time to take another job to pay for all this madness! Does anyone else suffer from this disorder?
The other problem I am facing is that I am finding more things to buy for me than the people on my list! To all the retailers out there: You got me, Okay. Now please, please stop accepting my debit card!

Kids are so funny!

Now that I am a school nurse, I have the cutest "patients." Today a little 7 year old came to the office and was holding her head. Here was how it went:

Her: Mrs. Haley, I need help.

Me: What is wrong with your head?

Her: I bumped it in music class.

Me: let me look...I think it is going to be ok.

Her: No, it's not...I think I am unconscious.

Me: (trying not to laugh) We will get some ice and you will be all better.

How can you not love taking care of kids? They are so cute and funny without even trying to be! Just thought I'd share.
