Why Monday???

So after an amazing weekend it was back to work 😝

Morning started out great! My bosses wife asked me if I was looking for more work cause her sister was looking to hire a bookkeeper!!! 

An hour later so says

"Is this a pay week?"

"Nope next week is"

"Ok well give yourself a $2 raise"

Seriously??? Who gets a $2/hr raise from a job that they haven't been at for even a year???? Me!!!!!!

Then the bad came, phone rings, it's the daycamp

"There was an incident at lunch" followed by a pause

And we all know, I'm well aware my children are not angels, they have issues and I'm prepared to deal with them

"What happened?" I asked

Keep in mind this is a girl in her late teens/early 20's....and clearly she feltawkward making the call

"Well....pause....Dalton was in the lunch room sittin with a friend (yes I instantly think....oh shit!), they found a metal clip on the floor, and well, ummm Dalton put the clip in the outlet"

"Is he ok?"

"Well ummm, he got electrocuted" pause 

"Is he ok?"

"He seems fine, he's just sitting here now, his fingers are burnt but the swelling is starting to go down"

"Burnt??? Does he need to go to the hospital?"

" I dont think so?"

"How bad is the burn???" I ask

"Not to bad, I don't think (what????)"

" ok well I'm 30 mins from camp, did you want me to come get him? I can leave right now?"

"If you want? He's complaining his arm and hand are tingling"

"I'm on my way"

What you dont see is this conversation took like 5-7mins. 

So I rush back to camp, pick him up, take him to doctors. Yes the burn wasn't bad, just the outline of the bobbypin, but as soon as she said tingling I was takin any chances. 

The doctor checked him, said the blisters are closed, watch them and keep tem clean. He did a vibration test on his hands and dalton says he felt it. 

So lesson for Monday....even if you think your child is old enough and knows better, remind them that you never stick anything in an outlet....EVER!

And it's only Monday :(
