Ear Infection
This morning I got up and ran with Erin. We did about 12 miles. We were doing so well went down and around the Yale loop. But I got a bit dehydrated so near the end we walked a lot. I am amazed at how far we got though. Dad took the kiddos to My Gym for their class. When I got home though Nicole was sleeping. While she slept daddy and Justin ran to the hardware store and out for lunch. Nicole woke up saying her ear hurt. So off to the walk-in we went. I gave her some Motrin. It felt like we had to wait for a long time at the walk in. But by the time the doctor saw her the Motrin kicked in and she was the happy little girl we know and love. Just an infection in one ear. She got a lollipop and got one for her brother too. She held onto Justin’s so tightly so proud to give one to her brother. We came home and the kids were crazy hyper. Justin watered for a bit. Nicole was running around saying she was going jogging and I got to babysit her bunny. Justin got in on the action too. I was so tired. Finally we let them watch TV and I took a nap on the floor. I felt much better after sleeping a bit. We went to Target to get a few things and Nik’s prescription. We came home and dad played Don’t Spill The Beans with the kiddos while I planted some plants. Everyone came outside and the kids drove their cars for a bit. Dad worked on fixing his flat tire on his bike. The weather was so nice today. It was so nice to be gardening-I always forget how much I like it. We all had dinner and then kids were pretending to sled in the snow with blankets, they called dad Santa and me Mrs. Claus. Apparently Santa hands out presents while Mrs. Claus gives out candy canes. We gave the kiddos a bath, dad and Justin took a bath together for a bit. Then after dad got out, I got in. Felt so great as I didn’t shower after running. I let the kids wash my hair and they loved it. Water in my eyes, ears, etc but like I said they thought it was the greatest thing ever. After bath we got into our jammies. The kids played a bit and then we read some books. Justin went right to sleep but Nicole is still awake and it is 8:45. I went up and rocked and talked to her. She is so excited about Canada. I just hope she goes to sleep soon.
