Footprints on the Moon

I tell you, when the work week started, it’s like an HDMI switch was flipped in my brain and I completely forgot that I had anything to tell you guys! Last Saturday, we took Killian to the zoo. He enjoyed chasing the goats around the petting zoo, but for the most part he was more interested in the other kids or the plants (or the mulch) than in the animals.

You can see his little leash and harness… the monkey looks over his shoulder, and the handle is the monkey’s tail. Hence the title of 2 monkeys at the zoo. About halfway through, he decided that he wasn’t going to cooperate, and that he’d show off that little temper his mommy has been telling us about. We left the butterfly enclosure, and he decided he wasn’t going any further. He didn’t want to walk, he didn’t want to ride in the wagon. He wanted to stand in the middle of the sidewalk and eat his little yogurt bites. Eventually he had to be picked up and carried away from that spot.

And I can’t forget when I was literally holding him horizontally above the sidewalk because he wouldn’t stand up– he was too mad that I wouldn’t let him try and get under the fence and into the alligator pond!! Look how pitiful he was by the time we left:

I’ve now been unwinding from the work week for 29 or so hours, so I think I’m ready for a little bit of human interaction again. LOL! The sidewalk project at work was finally making progress yesterday… and then they hit snag. To be more specific, they hit a gas line. *headdesk* I’m starting to think these “temporary” arrangements might last all summer long! If things aren’t headed back towards normal soon, I told my coworkers I might mysteriously “come down with something” that will conveniently leave me at home (or maybe I’ll head off to the Outer Banks) to miraculously “get better” as soon as the work is done. Really, it’s not THAT bad. It’s kind of convenient having the guards in the lobby, at least as far as potty breaks go! That one little convenience is all I’m willing to concede though. Just watch– by the time everything gets back to normal, I’ll be whining because I’m bored… I’m getting pretty used to having people to talk to!
