My eventful work day included an almost-3-car-pile-up, a tearful mother who believes that I am the one in need of family support services to work with her child, politely being asked to bring my own lunch to feeding sessions (which I actually DO bring and eat in the car on the way to their house), being scolded and receiving the cold shoulder from an old lady babysitter for being 5 minutes late and being informed me that our afternoon appointment time was just NOT going to work for their nap schedule (note: I previously offered them a multitude of available appointment times; all of which are now spoken for.... she chose the Tuesday afternoon spot), and finally a 2 year old who tantrumed in a foreign language for 35 of our 60 minutes, only to be topped by his older brother who actually ran away from home while I was there. Granted, he only got as far as the backyard, hiding under the deck, but he was very upset when he was found after 20 minutes of searching by 4 adults and 1 angry, barely verbal toddler.
On such an agonizingly hot day as today, there are a million things that I would rather be doing than sitting in my 98 rav4 just long enough for it to cool off before heading into another house with a case of the hot-summer crazies. Just to name a few:
Spending a day at the beach (or a tropical island?)
hiking at Great Falls
Taking in a sporting event
Enjoying a Shave Ice, Snow Cone, Popsicle, Ice Cream, anything cold really....
wine tasting!
BEER tasting
a picnic with friends
and finally...lounging under the shade in a hammock with a good book and some good company.
Here's hoping Mother Nature shows us all a little sympathy in the next few days. Enjoy those throw back pics in the comfort of a climate controlled, air conditioned space, ya'll!
.... And here's hoping tomorrow's workday is less eventful!
