Sickness

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have been sick almost 2 weeks now. I have an ear infection and the antibiotics the doctor gave me are not working. I called the doctor on Friday and I told the girl who answered the phone that the antibiotics weren't working and asked if it should take so long to take affect (I had been on them since Tuesday). She told me that I wouldn't know if the antibiotics was going to work until I took all of them (crazy). I have never heard such a thing! Well, then on Saturday I went to the Pharmacy close by and told them my situation and that the nurse had told me to take an over-the-counter medicine for the inflamation in my ear, but I couldn't remember what it was. The lady gave me a kids medicine(said it was a homepathic remedy and would be the best thing) and told me to put it in my ear. Well, I got home and I put it in my ear. I read the instructions on the box and it said this was supposed to be taken orally and it was grape flavored. I am supposed to put a grape flavored medicine that is supposed to be taken orally in my ear (I don't think so!). This is why I don't like going to the doctors or taking medicine!! I have taken some Ibuprofen now and I think it is helping finally. The whole family has had colds this past week. That time of year!

Well, I have a lot I want to get done today. I have some catching up to do on housework since being sick. Today is Mark's day off. Lots of times the kids will go outside with him and I can get more things done in the house.
I have to have everything looking good for Friday. My parents are coming up and most of Mark's family will be coming over Friday evening to celebrate Julia's 2nd birthday (which is on Saturday). I am doing a pink and green theme to go with her new room. I will take pictures. I will have no excuse this time because I will be home!!!
I better get going!
