Last school day off before I head back to work. We get started on Monday with a 10AM staff meeting. Also, my boss sent out an email reminding my coworkers and I about "proper" office attire- the usual, no flip flops, neat attire. I work for an athletic department at a local university so it's a relaxed business casual but I suppose he's tired of shorts. Although being in middle management (sort of) I know that both of these things are necessary evils...but it sure doesn't make me want to whistle while I work. To make matters better, I've also been putting off checking my email (I have a Blackberry so I see it...I've just been ignoring it) since about eight weeks ago...so Monday's going to be super...lets just say it isn't the Welcome Back party I'd hoped for.
Instead of BB and I partying all day, it's been spent soothing his little cranky pants. The five vaccine shots he got yesterday left him with a 101.1degree fever and two very nervous parents. The good news: he wanted to snuggle with mom and sleep. The bad news: we couldn't put him down until he PASSED out for the night.
Any friends out there expecting? Unsolicited mom advice of the day: Get a syringe with milliliter dosages listed on it juuuuuuust in case. We were at BJs for shopping and also to get the children's formula fever reducer- so it only came with a child's sized measuring cup. Last time I went to the drug store to pick up the stuff it was when the recall was in full swing so our options were limited. When we found out that BB had a fever we raced around the house to find something close to .8ml... fortunately the dropper that comes with the vitamin D drops has a 1ml line on it so we were able to guestimate as close as possible...but let's be serious here, probably not the best idea. He weighs 13 1/2 (ish) pounds so .8ml is probably an exact measurement.
Finally- tomorrow is mine and Todd's long awaited 30th birthday party. You can't believe it's finally here?!! Me either!! I know I peaked your interest all the way back in March when it was planned. Sure, some of the details are a little off since we made the "flyer." But one thing's for sure- our central air is going to be in overdrive since it's going to be HOT as S-H-youknowwhat but rest assured; we'll be in our jorts.
I think I may even spend the rest of the day scouring the local Good Will for a sweet shirt, a cowboy hat and a fanny pack. Yuck.

A great shower gift is a basket filled with all the little things you need in an emergency but don't realize until it's an emergency - like the little syringe and fever reducer! Someone did that for me and it was awesomely helpful!
It's amazing how a baby changes everything. Life becomes something it never was before. Best of luck on your return to work:)
