Randomness....

I took wee one to the doctor last night and she has a double ear infection. She had been complaining that her throat hurt, but then told me that she was mistaken....it was her ear that hurt and it was shooting pain down into her throat. Great. She had also been sneezing and coughing so I decided I had better get her into the doctor's office. Good thing I did. He put her on an antibiotic....an adult dose. And he said that when she takes anything now....motrin, tylenol, whatever....it's an adult dose. I feel so sad....no more will I have to ask the question, "Do you want bubble gum or mixed berry flavor?" when purchasing fever reducers. Never again will I medicate my baby then while kissing her pain away, inhale the sweet smell of her cherry scented breath. Sigh....

On our way to school today it was raining and I was thinking about the raincoats my kids used to wear. I had a pink vinyl bunny coat with big long rabbit ears attached to the hood. Whenever my girls would wear it, people would comment on how cute they were. I miss those days.....they had matching boots to go with them as well. Now Betsy would rather get soaked than use an umbrella, never mind a raincoat. (Teenagers!) And wee one, although she still loves to use an umbrella, has packed away her Power Puff Girl and Spongebob variety. Plain umbrellas are the protection of choice these days. Ah well, I suppose eventually it was bound to happen. My girls would grow up. But I just didn't expect it to happen so soon....

Betsy woke up with the excruciating pain again today. She says she feels like she passed another stone. I tell you, she's a geologist's dream at this point. I am a bit miffed that I haven't heard from the doctor's office regarding the test, so I will be calling today. I sent her to school with a bottle of water and Advil. We will save the big guns till she gets home. Poor kid.

Today is early release day....which basically means a short day for the kids, and a PITA for me. I just get them where they need to be, and it's time for me to pick them up again. I don't know what one extra hour every two weeks is supposed to do for teacher planning....as I don't think the teachers down here plan anything except how they can get around actually teaching.

*Random Thought* If that freaking dog does not stop barking, I am going to scream.

I am going to have to run to the bank today and deposit a few checks (holy smokes....a DEPOSIT????) and then pick up the dog's pills, get a few groceries and stop by my grandmother's to check on her, as she is not feeling well. So....being that I have a very limited time frame in which to get all of my duties done....I shall bid you adieu....
