Talk about a crazy day!

So...... today started off like any other day. I woke up, took Dash (my doggie) potty and then jumped into the shower. I got ready for work, had some breakfast, kissed my hubby goodbye for the day and headed off to work. I got to work and sat down in my office and started going through my emails, started entering my purchase orders. Things were pretty busy all morning and I had a lot of work ahead of me for the day. Its is now 9:30am and something is starting to smell bad, almost like paint or lacker, then it started to smell a lot like gas. Of course I was the first one who smelt it, not surprising with my super sniffer!!! Then in the next half hour it got worse and i started to get light headed and when I stood up I saw spots. I told my co-workers that I was going to walk to the post office to mail some stuff and to get some air. I was walking by some of the building in our complex and a couple guys asked me if our bathroom and office smelt like gas and chemicals and I said "YES, I couldn't stand it so I'm walking to the post office." One of the guys quickly said "NO you cant go there cause they are doing construction work under the sewer and its worse over there." Then another man came walking up and said "they are pumping gas and chemicals into the sewer and its leaking into all of our buildings." I told Erica (a co-worker) I couldn't stay much longer with the baby and all I just couldn't be taking in all those fumes. She called our boss and he told me to go home, as I was leaving I saw everyone in our complex and across the street outside of their buildings. It was a bad smell!!! Maybe a half hour later Erica called me said the smell was a little better and I could come back if I wanted to. I was heading back to work when she called back and said "never mind don't come in the fire department just came and is telling everyone to go home." As soon as I left and smelled some fresh air I was feeling just fine. I now have all day to do what ever I want so I thought to myself what should I do and then a smile came to my face and I thought of the perfect thing!! I'm went and surprised my hubby at work. I got a full tour of the Cath lab and what he does and where he does it at. I met a whole bunch of his co-workers and saw some I already knew. Then we went to xray where he use to work and saw some old friends. Then we got to go have lunch together, it was so much fun!! I came home and started to clean the house from top to bottom. I'm having family over this weekend. Guess what?????? We are going to find out the sex of the baby this Sunday. EXCITING..... I know I'm so excited I can barley stand it!! I will have lots of pictures to share with you all Monday. I will announce our baby's name too!! Im so EXCITED!!!!

I hope everyone has a very blessed and safe friday!!

Sounds so very busy! I'm glad you got some fresh air and felt better. And I can't wait for the baby up-date post. :)

That's nice you got the day off. Seems to me they should have informed everyone before hand.

Yeah you would have thought they would have let us know what they were doing, but I don't think that it was suppose to seep into our buildings. Something must have gone wrong and then when they were notified a pregnant woman was sent home because of it they told everyone to leave.
