Farewell, Crappy Tuesday

Worst. Exam. Ever. I’m speechless. I did prepare for this – for days and days, actually. Study, study, study…and still I sat there, con-freakin-fused. I’m not used to that, you know. Hours of study group usually yield me a fairly descent idea of the test content but, at this point, I will be happy if I manage to pull off a C on this exam. For real. Needless to say, not the best day ever. I Followed that horrifying experience up with the frustration of unfamiliarity in my photography class – sitting there trying to navigate photo editing on a Mac, when I have only ever been a PC person.

Naturally, a day like this couldn’t just come to a relaxing end. The culminating stress of a week’s worth of apparently useless studying, way below potential exam results, and then trying to focus on the resolution settings of my photos when all I can really think about are all the endocrine functions I didn’t know…well, a day like this needs some excitement in it! Hey, how about spending the last two hours of daylight at urgent care with a rash-covered five-year-old and his tired little brother?! Yes, oh yes, that’s exactly the type of adventure I could have only hoped for to bring an end to such a day as mine. Nothing quite like strep throat and an all-over body rash (highly contagious I might add) on one of your several children to make you dream of the awesome week to come.

Pray for me. Please pray for me. That my baby will heal up (hopefully without a relapse, since the strep kid is also my Nephrotic Syndrome kid)…and that, possibly, all the guessing I did on that exam contained a fair amount of luck.
