Went back to the pediatrician and Corbin ALSO has an ear infection.
That makes five.
FIVE infected ears in this casa.
Five too many for this mom to be happy about it. WHY? Why does at least ONE of them have an infection EVERY month? We are on a YEAR and a HALF where we've had at least one ear a month infected.
I've talked to the docs about tubes. But they remind me that between my kids and me (yup, my ears were infected in that 18 months as well)...there are 8 ears. So it might seem like one particular kid has chronic infections, but in actuality (I asked to see the charts), they are spaced out, with only a few repeats. It sounded something like this:
Last month: Reese's right ear
The month before that: Quincy's left
The month before that: Quincy's right
Before that: Corbin's left....and so on.
Which makes us: Not candidates for tubes.
The girls are back to their cute, happy, silly selves.
I'm also feeling better.
Not better enough to deep clean the rubble that the tornado of sickness left in my house.
I called Paz.
She is scheduled to come on Monday with her little team of miracle workers.
YAY!
Paz is a cleaning lady.
I'm not above that.
Until Monday? Paper plates and take-out.
I'm not above that, either.

Perhaps eliminating baths would eliminate ear infections.
But that would be gross.
So sorry.
At least now you have two Toy Story movies for them to watch while you try to sneak antibiotics into them.
Reese is 50/50 showers and baths right now...and ear infections have increased frequency.
Oh yeah, don't tell them. The Easter bunny is bringing the movies.
Stupid fictional characters...they get all the glory. Why isn't there a "flying marshmallow nurse" or something that swoops in during the night to give gross medicine, kindergarten shots, clip toenails, and rip off nasty 2 day old band-aids?
I'd leave cookies for her.
Oh man, I am so not above either of those. Esp not after being with my inlaws enough to know that paper plates can save your sanity. And a cleaning lady is a wonderful person. I just worry that I'll know one of them from the branch or something...
that is what i want for my birthday...a deep clean of my house...including carpets. that would be divine...
i hope the yuckies pass soon...poor family
Oh Meg, I'm sorry! I've been so lucky with my kids not getting ear infections (knock on wood), even though I had them ALL the time growing up.
So I left a comment for you on my blog. But I'll give you the info here too. The paint I used was Ben Moore Van buren brown (the dark wall) and the other color is Kingsford gray, also Ben Moore. But I got the paint at Sherwin Williams. It's a lot better quality than crappy Lowes or Home depot. Also, thanks for the tips on the hutch! I know someone (in the blogging world) who had the same cabinet and sanded, primed, and painted the whole thing and it turned out great. So i'll attempt that. It's not worth the money to do much more with it. :) It's just crappy Ikea. lol Hope you all feel better soon!
