The Perfect End to a Hectic Week

He always knows how to bring a smile to my face :-)

I don’t know about you, but I am so glad it’s Friday! This week has been absolutely crazy from the start. Monday I was welcomed back to work with a room full of mosquitoes that somehow got loose and things only continued to get more interesting throughout the week. On Wednesday, a gerbil urinated all over my shirt while I was trying to give it an injection. Twice! LOL I’m used to having fluids accidently get on me, but this was a definite first. It could have been worse though. When I first started a few years back, I was loading a syringe full of parasites and completely pulled out the stopper causing everything to spill onto my crotch. It was not a fun experience, but I’m just glad I work with parasites that don’t directly penetrate the skin.

Yesterday was a bit of a fun as I took the day off to chaperone my daughter’s field trip to the strawberry patch. For the most part, I had a pretty good group to watch over, but it is so hard trying to control children when they are not your own! I had one incident where I had to go get help to get a child on the bus because she refused to get off of a toy car. It literally took three teachers to get the girl off the car! I was also assigned another child who only spoke Spanish, so I was thankful that I could communicate with her. By the time the day was over, I was completely exhausted.

Today when I came home I was surprised with tulips, Skittles, and a sweet card from my better half. It was such a nice ending to a very long and stressful week. Now I’m ready to relax and do absolutely nothing. That probably won’t happen though because my place is a complete mess and I really need to clean, but hey, a girl can dream, right?
