Hellish day

Dear Aidan,

Mommy had a rough day. Everything went wrong today. It started off with me injuring my foot yesterday while trying to catch the bus on the way home. I was running so hard that my shoes fell off and they flew in every direction. It was so embarrassing because it happened at one of the busiest areas- the bus terminal. When my shoes fell off I slammed my bare foot on the concrete pavement and I've been limping since. Every step I take has been very painful. When I got to work this morning my boss asked me to get the cover finished ASAP. She always does this to me. It would help if she gave me a reasonable time, but she always asks me to have something for her within the hour. It's really frustrating. Plus, she was pretty moody today. She snapped at me a few times because I wasn't agreeing with what she was saying. I hate when she tries to play Art Director when she isn't one. She tells me what size to make a font or add design elements which are tacky. She kept saying there was a layout that she doesn't remember seeing before it went to the printer, but I have proof that she signed off on it. She was basically bitching that she didn't see it and how did this happen. Blah blah blah. Ugh. I was so busy I didn't even have time to go outside for lunch. Then I got an email from daddy saying that the daycare called him to pick you up because you broke out in red spots all over your body. They said we should take you to the doctor. However, I couldn't leave work so daddy had to go get you. I was so stressed out the whole afternoon because I was so upset that I couldn't be with you.

Daddy asked me to go pick up a lotion that you use today so I went out around 6pm to go get it at the store close to my work. Unfortunately it was pouring out and I didn't have an umbrella. I got soaked top to bottom. I felt so bad that I couldn't be with you so while I was out getting your body lotion I stopped by Pottery Barn Kids and picked you up a Halloween fabric basket. I figured you needed it when you went Trick-Or-Treating on Halloween. That's my way of dealing with guilt- buying you stuff. Sigh. But it doesn't stop there. I had to go back to work because I was still not done work (!!!!). I stayed at work until 8:20pm. By that time you were being put down to bed by daddy. So when I got home around 9:30pm you were already sleeping. Double sigh. I can't wait until I take a few days off from work. I feel so burnt out and so depressed.

The photo above was the photo daddy took of you while you guys were going to your family doctor to get your spots checked out. I think it was your eczema flaring up again. Hopefully it'll go down by tomorrow...
