I had an office visitor today. Can you guess who it was? Yep - Ms. Lexi Lou in her full glory.
Let me just tell you that she was well enough to be loud and playful at times and extremely cranky at others. I feel like I have been on a roller coaster (a horrible one designed by Satan himself). Being at work with a baby that has an ear ache and 2 teeth coming in could never be a picnic. Besides all of the regular struggles of trying to keep Lexi fairly quiet and get something done, she has brought this to a whole new level of torture. First off, she only slept for 1/2 an hour. What kind of break is that? Second, I had to miss the little Thanksgiving luncheon that a project site had. (Yes, they still got my Green Bean Casserole). I knew taking her would be a problem, so I volunteered to stay & man the phones. Hmm...sit in the offce & answer the crappy phones or go to a luncheon. Ok, so there were only 3 calls (I can't complain about that too much). Third, she wanted to be held a lot. I have a huge deadline coming up the beginning of December that involves design work, which is a two handed task (more so than typing).
Plus, I absolutely CAN'T forget to mention that perfect work days don't involve puke. It shouldn't be all over my pants or the carpet in my office, not to mention Lexi and her pack-n-play. Thank goodness we will be moving to a new location next year, which is a completely separate post. BTW, the puke did not come from being sick or the book. It is a result of jumping around her pack-n-play while trying to eat a gummy treat for babies. I guess I can report that her gagging reflexes are quite good.
Needless to say, the little one is going BACK to the daycare tomorrow. She might be a handful for them, but we have to pay whether she is there or not & tomorrow they'll earn their money for the week. Besides, she can't miss their Thanksgiving party and I NEED to get some things done.
