Freakin' Out Friday

Today was a long day at work for me (8am-8pm) and Derrick for the first time picked Elizabeth up from daycare alone. According to the teachers she didn't want to eat her cereal and the slip showed they tried two times. The second time she ate all of it.

I had told Derrick that I would be home late as our department closes at 5 and we had a setup for a reception that ended at 7:30pm. I said I was staying at work to pick up the equipment and to help with the cleanup. That was the reason we wouldn't carpool today because I would be at work late. I even had the setup schedule on the refrigerator at home. He said I had told him I would be picking up stuff at 5:15pm. If that was the case I would have carpooled with him and he could've picked up Elizabeth from daycare and come back to get me.

So here he was panicking at home when he hadn't heard from me and I didn't have my cell phone on me because I didn't want to create any disturbance in the conference. So I got back to my office around 7:30pm and call Derrick who is freaking out because the baby is crying and doesn't want to eat anything but wants to drink milk (which I had told him to try and conserve) and he was worried about me being hurt or stuck somewhere since he hadn't heard from me.

He did give her a bath and that did calm her down and she eventually took a nap. So I got home at 8:30pm and things were settled down a little. What a crazy day!
