Just Another Work Meeting

Bobby had been a germ magnet! Last several months he's been gathering new germs with a cadence of what seems like every other week. 

Last week Bobby did not go to his play school, he was under the weather. So it was a week of juggling work, while caring for him and not getting enough sleep. 

Here's what happened one afternoon last week:

It was late afternoon. Bobby and I had had our lunch and it was time for his nap. I put Bobby to sleep and headed into my meeting. He was ok for sometime, but then I heard him cough. More coughing, almost non stop for sometime. Poor thing i thought. I came back and picked him up. Poor thing was tired of coughing and crying. I picked him out of his crib and sat with him. Put vicks on his back and feet and on his little baby nose. Then i told him he needs to go back to sleep. He didn't want to go back to crib and wanted to stay on the bed.  So, i put pillows all around him, covered him with a blanket, set baby sleep music on the speaker and told him to go back to sleep. After this I headed back to work. I had another meeting to get to. 

For some time it was all quiet in the house. Then after about 30 minutes, i heard a door close. Then, i heard another door open and close. Then another voice in another room. Then, some shuffling... soon the little boy emerged, looked me in the eye from the study door, and ran away. I continued talking in my meeting and pretended i didnt see him! More noises came from another part of the house, and soon the boy came strutting back. This time i was intently talking to a collegue. That's when Bobby came to the study and said "Mumma, i have poopoo". "I have poopoo Mumma", he repeated, just in case anyone on my meeting had not heard it.  I was deep into a conversation, so in stead, Bobby proceeded to play with the curious looking buttons under my desk. I have recently gotten a stand up/sit down desk, so the buttons under the desk are all curious play things for him. Suddenly, while i was in my work conversation, i noticed my laptop was not charging anymore. Then, it started charging again but my monitor went dark suddenly. Then it came back momentarily, only to go dark again. The badmaash boy was under my desk turning buttons on and off. Soon, the boy decided to sit on my chair behind me, but in that process hurt his leg. It was time for me to go off camera and speaker, and wrap up my meeting!

Just another regular work meeting with a twist!
