Today was a different day in the world of weed. It didn't consist of staying home with you know who like a normal Wednesday. Today I had to get up like any normal working adult and go to "work," but it wasn't really work, either. I got a call last week from this market research company with whom I'm registered. They call me from time to time to answer questions and sometimes, if I qualify, they ask me to come in to be a part of a panel to discuss whatever it is they are researching. (Okay, in actuality, this is only the second time I've gotten to go in). They pay well and it's an interesting change of scenery. Last time it was just a couple of hours in the evening to talk about area hospitals. This time it was an all day affair. Daddy took the day off and had his first-ever full day with our daughter all by himself. He was great....and so was she! He took her to a metropark in our area which has a working farm, so she got to see pigs, cows, chickens, a horse... but was most enthralled, apparently, by the windmill and the group of fourth graders who were there on a field trip!
Anyway, my day was spent on a pretend jury, where I had to listen to both sides of a pretend court case in the morning and deliberate in the afternoon, and then discuss our impressions of the whole thing. They gave us boxed Panera lunches and lots of snacks (to keep us awake from sitting so long, I assume!). It held my interest and was a change of pace, plus I got paid for a day of "work," so that was great.
All in all it was a nice day, but only because it was different--I'm glad I don't do it every day and I missed my little one like crazy. I'd much rather stay home and get paid in hugs and smiles (well, most days, anyway!!!)
