How Do I tell sandy to ignore the following dates?

I'm having trouble getting Sandy to parse my text when a date is in it, but is not the date the thing happens on.

Remember to call and excuse Caitlin's absence last tuesday, during periods 2, 3 and 4. @todo

gives me a strange day spanning appointment. How do I exclude text from being parsed?
 
sad I’m confused
Inappropriate?
