Yesterday my youngest son got off the school bus complaining of an ear ache.  He claimed that he had the ear ache for most of the day at school.  And honestly, he didn’t look real good.  Now this did concern me quite a bit as when this child is sick or in pain, he never mentions it.  For him to complain of a sore ear,  I can almost bet that he has another ear infection.  So this morning I kept him home from school and I will be making him a doctor’s appointment for later on in the day.  I think when we are in there I am going to mention to the doctor about him seeing a specialist as he gets ear infections a lot.

The good thing about all this (if you can find the good) is that today was his last day of school before March break.  So he will only lose one day of school and not a whole week like he normally does.  The bad thing about this is the kid is probably going to be sick for most of his  March break.  But if I can catch this sooner rather than later, maybe his whole week off won’t be a complete bust.

I know it’s not even spring yet, but I am getting so anxious for the camping season to begin. Last year we didn’t start camping until the end of June, but this year I’m pretty sure that we are going to start in May. That’s only a little over two months away! So I have been thinking of things that we will need to help us out with our camping experience. One of the things that I absolutely can’t forget this year (I did last year) is our pillows. Obviously I won’t pack them now, but they are definitely on my list of camping supplies that we will need to take with us. Like I said it is a little early for these types of thoughts, but just thinking about camping is one of the things that is keeping me going during these cold winter months.
