My son is an alien, I'm thinkin' it could be true!

I really think that Carson could be an alien. I mean what kid in this world has a double ear infection and has absolutely no symptoms?! No fever, he doesn't get lethargic, NOTHING! He was literally running around all day long, helping in the garden, playing in his sandbox, riding his bike. And then POW! He is screaming that his ear hurts. At 8:00 at night. So we went to instacare and waited forever (not a complaint, better than the ER!) and found out he has a double ear infection, an extremely red throat and an upper respiratory infection. As a mother, I looked like a neglectful, deadbeat, loser who doesn't pay attention to her sick little boy. But if they are running around like a wild banshee, would you think they were sick? Me neither.

Then I went to get his prescription filled and it was over an hour long wait. However, all the same people who were at instacare were there, so we all chatted while we waited. It was really funny. All the moms there, comparing symptoms, expressing sympathy, entertaining each others kids. It was awesome because instead of being annoyed at the people in front of you, you're actually happy for them when their name is called. "Oh yay for you! You can finally take your little one home and get some rest. Poor little thing. I hope she sleeps well tonight!" and so on and so forth. And the best part of it all, the prescription was 75% less than the last time I had it filled! YAY!

We got home, got Carson all medicated and then put him to bed. Then, of course, I can't sleep because I'm all wound up. I stayed up until 2 a.m. waiting for the inevitable crying and misery that comes with the ear infection. It never came. He slept all night. It was awesome. Well, I probably should have just went to bed but yeah, that didn't happen. I did, however, do a rough draft on a birthday invite for my grandma and complete a whole 8X8 album (free through CK and Shutterfly, I missed the last freebie and I wasn't going to miss this one!) because of my insomnia. So at least something good came of my night!

Now I'm going to finish reading a book because Carson is doing this:



I hope you have a fabulous Saturday!
