good day sunshine?
Finally, the clouds have parted and the sun is streaming down on a cool Fall day. I was pleased as punch to not be woken up until after 7am by a smiley curly-topped girly. I had planned to take her to the doctor today to rule out an ear infection but here she goes acting all normal and stuff.
Ha. Work is frantic, the child care center is calling to tell me that Ruby is totally unhinged. uhoh. I can't leave work, I'm up to my neck today. Poor Richard. He with the cough-y sickness. He with Columbus Day off and a whole list of things he wanted to do. He picks her up and trundles her off to Doctor. yep. Ear infections. bad. both ears. bleck. no WONDER she was evil incarnate all weekend. And when I say "evil", I mean pure evil. I mean fire-spitting out of eye sockets, mind-changing, head-spinning evil.
Poor lamb. She can talk well, but not well enough to say "Excuse me, mother, whereas I am seemingly screaming about the insufficiency of this meal, or inappropriateness of your speaking to me, in actuality, I'm in immense pain and require heavy-duty pain relief and antibiotics. Do you see this ear? This one? it hurts mightily. MIGHTILY, I say. Oh. And as a side note, I plan to fake you out and act all normal when you least expect it. Can I have dessert now?"
