Ugh it was tough getting
up this morning, I seriously just wanted to crawl back in bed. Maybe
because it was a totally crappy night - T was up with Little man like 3
times - he was crying and belly aching all night because his ear
hurt. Then him and C were up at like 5AM watching TV in the
living room - sheesh!!! T herded them back to bed. We got the girls
fed and out the door and headed back to bed! We got back up about
7:30AM and got the boys fed, dressed and lunches packed! Little man was
crying again because his ear hurt but he didn't want to miss school
because they were having a cooking class all day, he was also scared
that he would start crying in school and kids would make fun of him!!
I told him, if his ear starts to hurt just raise his hand and ask to
go to the nurse, then if he cries no one will see him and I'll come
get him! C and I hung out till lunch, I made him some
gingerbread play dough to play with, and then we headed out the door
to run a few errands, visited Daddy at his store. I got home and at
about 2:15 (right when I was leaving to pick up S), Mrs. Mauk
called and Little man was complaining of ear pain and his temp was 100.
CRAP!!! I called T to see if he could pick up S and take
her and that's I go get Little man. I tried the Dr. office but there phone
just rang and rang and then went to a message that they were busy due
to high call volume. Then T called and his car wouldn't start,
CRAP!!! So I hurried and picked up Little man and then picked up S,
told T to keep trying the office and to get us an appointment. T called and finally got the car started, told me the office said just
to stop in as soon as possible, so I told him to just go in town and
park by the dermatologist office and I'd drop S off and in the
mean time I'd take Little man to the doctor's. That left R at home by
herself and to get Gman off the bus if T didn't make it home in
time!

We got the office and got right in, still wheezing a bit and
RAGING ear infection (right ear), the worst Dr. Shoe said he'd
seen in a long time!! So amoxicillin for 10 days! All while this was
going on T and S were waiting and waiting to be called back -
her appointment was at 3:10PM and it was after 3:40PM before she was
even called back!! Also R got Gman off the bus and instead of
going through the garage like I told her she went out the mud room
door and locked her and Gman out of the house - in the cold and
snow! Then T came home and he didn't even have his key because he
had given it to R that morning to get in after school!! Sheese!!
Thank goodness were got home at about 4:15PM so they didn't have to
wait outside long!! T had to go back to work and I need to get
medicines pick up and thankfully I had put beef soup in the crockpot
so all I did was make some noodles and served the kids, then I headed
out the door to get the meds and finally back home after 6PM. I was
so whooped and really didn't feel like doing out activity and didn't
think we really had any time so I told the kids we'd just do two
tomorrow!!! Then I headed to my room to drink a mimosa and watch the
new Percy Jackson movie on blue ray! After it was done I watched
Pacific Rim till I couldn't hold my eyes open any more and then
it was off to dream land!!
