Michael is off of school again today due to the snow. Don't ask me how much we got. I don't pay attention, remember? That makes 5 snow days this year. 4 of which have occurred in the past two weeks. Crazy! He better go back tomorrow. It's killing me!
Our friend, Tom, was so kind to take him over to his house to play with his kids this afternoon. It will be good for Michael to get out and play with the boys.
Maggie woke up a few times last night sobbing that her ear hurt. It was so sad. I took her to the doctor this morning. Turns out she probably did have the flu last week. Now she's got a bunch of fluid that's floating around her cavities. Inside her ear it got infected. The doctor took one look at it and said it looks like she has a cherry tomato in her ear.
... and the mother of the year award goes to....
I felt awful. The doctor proceeded to tell me that this type of ear infection comes on quickly and I got her in at a good time. She's loaded up on meds and sleeping right now. I actually had the pleasure of rocking and singing her to sleep. Something that isn't a normal occurrence around here. My children love their sleep time and don't want to be bothered with a sappy mommy. This was a nice change.
I probably should mention that I feel amazingly well! I slept and relaxed as much as I possibly could yesterday. I woke up this morning feeling groggy and achy. But, I'm functioning rather well this afternoon. I'll keep the decongestions going in me to ward off any infected fluid in me.
I'm looking forward to a nice weekend at my parents house. Jamie has a staff retreat so the kids and I will head over to Livonia after school time. Should be a good time for all of us.

Julie, I'm glad you're feeling better but sorry to hear Maggie's still feeling so crummy. Sounds like it's been a long couple weeks. Still praying for an extra measure of grace and encouragement for you. Love you lots!
