Seriously Mom, you want to take a picture of the cotton in my ear? - Mackenzie

Well, it is one of the first times that she has ever had cotton in her ear. Now she looks a little bit like her momma! So what does that mean, yes, we've had ear infections. I'm actually not necessarily sure that they are ear "Infections" as much as pressure from sinus gunk they've had causing their ears to hurt. So I got some over the counter ear drops for Mackenzie and Turner, Mackenzie loves them, and I'm not sure if her ears are still hurting or whether she just likes getting ear drops. Turner HATES them and won't let me near his ears. So Wednesday I had taken off work to help move Caitlyn in to the dorms. I took Mackenzie to school that morning and within 10 minutes of me getting home they had called saying she was complaining about her ears. Yes, i believe her that they may have been "bothering" her a little bit, but I think she was putting on a little bit of a show since she knew that mommy was going to be home that day. So she ended up hanging out with the big girls all day, which was fine. We got Caitlyn all moved in. She is in an upperclassman dorm, so there are only like 5 people in her dorm right now, and she won't get her roommate till Sunday, so that stinks a little, but at least she got campus housing. Yesterday Nanny called about 3, and told me that when Turner woke up from his nap he was complaining about his ears - so I called the doctor headed out that way for an appointment. However, on the way home, I heard that the highway was shut down completely out by us, so had to take round about ways to get home (which everyone did) so ended up not being able to make the appointment and it took me over 2 hours to get home! Now, THAT is not fair! But hey, we made it right, and thankfully we weren't 20 minutes earlier and caught in the actual wreck, so we'll count our blessings and be thankful that at least we got to go home yesterday. This morning was a little chaotic too, so I kind of feel like I'm a step behind on everything, but then I got to work and started downloading my pictures to do this post, and things seemed to slowly melt away...

Now you can’t tell me that this picture doesn’t just melt all the stress away for just a moment and make you smile all the way deep inside - and it doesn’t just work once, I get a new laugh every time I open it. So if you start getting stressed today – just sit down at your computer and open and close this blog 10 times and I promise you’ll feel better!!
