Yesterday I had a pretty crummy day.  I, along with help of co-workers, made a costly mistake at work,  which will probably cost about $2,300 to rectify...OUCH!  There was also drama with family members, an infection in my boob from nursing (too much information, yes, but I'm trying to "paint a picture" for you), and to top it all off, grouchy kids!  By the grace of God and lots of prayer, I made it through the day.  Well, this morning I was listening to the news on the radio as Gracie, Jake, and I were driving to preschool, and had to say a prayer of thanks that I didn't have this lady's "bad day"!  Here's the quick story:

A mother of two elementary school children, brought a dead bat to school for "show and tell".  She let the students in her children's kindergarden and fifth grade classes touch the bat and examine it a little bit.   It turns out they discovered the bat had rabies!!  So now, every child that came in contact with the bat had to get a series of rabies vaccination shots.  They were estimating this would cost $150,000!  The school's insurance was only going to cover $70,000!  Oops!   I bet this mother had a headache by the end of her bad day.  So did I, but at least mine didn't involve angry parents (well, maybe one, because my Dad is my boss), and an $80,000 mistake.

Thankfully, today was a much better day, even though I didn't realize I had my pants on backwards until lunch time.
