Liz is on vacation. So I manned the warehouse and Brenda came in to help. It was the last day of buyback and historically we get a lot of rental returns on the last day. And we did get a lot today.
Half way through the day the school called. The little man needed to be picked up. No one could tell me why on the phone. So I let my boss know I needed to leave to pick him up with a plan.
I arrived at the school and got a nice chat with a room full of people. The little man had not had a good recess and it escalated. So I got to take him with me. Funny how they kept asking if I was going to be all right taking him. Yes. Took him to Pat's house and he hung out with Pat while I went back to work and finished my day. I only lost half an hour which is a lot better than half a day.
When I got back I let my boss know I was back and she told me about some friends of hers. They had adopted a boy who was around 5 and he had a lot of the same issues that my little man has. They did a lot of therapy and basically all the things we are doing and he is much better now. It was a reminder story that things do get better and there is always hope for a good future.
