Going Back to Work Stinks – Literally
Yesterday was to be my first full day away from Oliver at work. I had anticipated being awake at night stressing about leaving him with C, the nanny. Instead at midnight Calle was sprayed by a skunk and thus began a 2 1/2 hour ordeal of trying to destinkify her. Followed by a 4:30 am wake up by Oliver. And a stinky house.
And a stinky car…
And a stinky computer bag…
And a stinky pump bag…
In fact, everywhere Jeremy and I went yesterday there were traces of skunk smell. Synthetic fabrics in particular seemed to hold it the worst. Our friends were supportive (read as “highly amused”) and helped us through the day. But by the end of it, we were wrecked. All that drama and only 2 1/2 hours of sleep will take a toll on you.
Oliver also was off, sleeping only about an hour between 8am-8pm! Not good for a little guy. Luckily we all got a good night’s sleep and are much happier today.
That is why going back to work stinks, literally!
