It started out a little behind schedule with a cranky Quinn who hadn't eaten breakfast yet. I got him dressed, brought him down stairs and stood him in front of his toy basket to distract him while I went to pack my lunch. It was then followed by Quinn taking a nose dive right into the bookshelf that the toy basket lives at the bottom of and resulted in streaming tears and me almost breaking down into tears as well. I felt awful!
Food packed, baby fed and out the door, off to the sitters we went. Then back to the house to park the car for Eric and a quick walk to BART later I was finally on my way to work and to my project manager scheduling meeting where I was called on first to present and had to 'pass' because I wasn't ready (embarrassing!). Then back to the desk to layout my jobs in my new project tracker chart, which took the better half of the day, and then receiving projects back only to find out that I had forgotten to give the most crucial design aspect of the job to the designer (doh!). I was an hour behind on one of my pump sessions and it took my until almost 3 to be mentally and emotionally capable of writing up a legible work order. Yeah, it was one of those days.
At least I had my yummy leftovers from last nights kick A meal to chomp on during my working lunch break.

2 Pounds raw shrimp, deveined
2 Sticks butter, cut into pieces

Sprinkle cold butter crumbles over the shrimp.

I served mine with white rice, Cheddar bay biscuits and a fresh salad.
