Yep – I came home from work this afternoon and proclaimed to Wil that I had been pooped on…repeatedly…today.
I won’t go into details on the first “incident” (mostly ‘cause it’s boring) but I was feeling a LOT underappreciated at work today. It’s a tough time of year – so much to do and just not enough time….blah blah blah.
So I left for my afternoon meetings, and walked right into a very difficult meeting that I never would have anticipated being difficult. My conversations with the parent prior to the meeting had gone very well and I felt we were all on the same page. The student’s therapist, invited to the meeting by the parent, was on a very different page and proceeded to make what should have been a 10-15 minute discussion into an hour long debate. I felt pretty beat up and attacked by the time the meeting was over, and again…..”pooped on” – lol
The final incident took the pooping from the metaphorical to the literal… I went to pick up Graham from daycare where I found the kids playing in the backyard. Graham came running over to me and wanted to be picked up. After holding him for a bit I put him back down and noticed that he had “stuff” on his shoe. Upon closer inspection, it appeared that he had stepped in some dog poop while out in the yard. Sure enough…after having picked him up I then had poop on my pants – nice.
I’m very pleased to also report that there were bright moments throughout the day – it certainly wasn’t all poop :)
It was Wednesday, so I got to have a nice lunch with Kara, Melissa, and Megan. It’s always so nice to step away from the craziness of work for a few minutes with good friends. And last night was date night! We branched out a bit since Pa-Paw and Grandma are out of town, and tried a new sitter. It went great and we are told that Graham was very good. Apparently he is perfectly capable of listening AND following direction ;) Krystal says they had LOTS of fun and he went to bed with no troubles – yay! Wil and I had a quick dinner together and then went to the new Star Trek movie. I have to admit that it was much better than I had expected and was even pretty funny at times. Of course there were also a few moments that were pretty emotional and made the pregnant lady all teary-eyed, but it was all good in the end.
So here’s hoping that tomorrow is poop-free, both figuratively AND literally :)
