I heart fall

Today is one of those days I am so thankful I have nothing going on tonight. WHEW!

Yesterday was a little crazy. I went to my parent's house yesterday after work to spend time with family still in town. My mom's parents and her aunt are here until Saturday and I have very little free time from now until then. Ethan was napping and woke up in a foul state. And not just a terrible twos foul state but an "I hate the world, why are you looking at me? Break down and cry" kind of state. In other words, he was a complete joy!

We decided to go to Kohl's and Target. Ethan didn't agree. He did okay in Target but Kohl's was a different story. He had a meltdown in the check-out.

While we were out he kept pulling at his ear and saying, "It hurt." So, instead of going to the game last night, I took Ethan to the urgent care center to have his ear checked. I figured the $10 extra dollars co-pay was worth it if I didn't have to wait until the next day to call his doctor. Of course when we arrived he was laughing and happy as a clam. They questioned why I brought him.

I told the doctor this is how he acts with an ear infection. Usually one day he is fine and the next he is whiny, fussy and pulling at his ear. Sure enough I was right. Another ear infection and in both ears.

Then I went to the pharmacy. Two hour wait. So I went to another pharmacy. They said 30 minute wait then an hour and 15 minutes later it was ready. AND my insurance card was expired. Or it was the old one. I don't really know. Regardless, because the card was expired I didn't get my prescription benefits and paid full price. UGH!

On the bright side it is only 71 today! WOOHOO!! I heart fall.

EDIT: One thing I forgot to mention. While at the urgent care center, Ethan choked on a cracker and threw up ALL OVER ME. It was quite lovely really. A special mother-son moment. I will be forever grateful. Not really. I smelled horribly and so did he. It was ICKY! Thank you Deb for reminding me :)
