and all because we (seriously, all THREE of us) have been down with something (ear infection, cold virus, something in the air...) you know the sort yeah... so ALL THREE OF US (Our Little One, The Mommy, The Daddy) are just not quite chipper right now ... The Mommy, in particular, experienced for the first time in her life, sinus induced pressure and headache... I mean how is that possible? for X decades (I still do not want to let the world know how old I am) The Mommy has never had a sinus-induced something... to the extent that the Mommy does not even know what sinus was! Like is this payback time?
Anyway last Wednesday was BAD ... like BBBAAADDDD!!!! Having just put down Our Little One in nursery, the Mommy (being her efficient self) went to get some groceries to stock up inside the fridge. Just as her car pulled into the driveway, the daily monotony was interrupted by her cell phone, showing the nursery number!!! OMG!!! what happened? Did Our Little One fall / break his head / break his nose / break something / lose something? With 1 million thoughts running inside the Mommy's head, Our Little One's teacher (on the other line): "Hi, Darwin is running a slight fever and has been crying non-stop since you dropped him. Can you come by and pick him up?" SURE, well OF COURSE!!! So after unloading all the groceries into the kitchen (onto the floor and the perishables into the fridge, it is summer here in the Arabian Gulf after all), the Mommy dashed back into the car and headed straight for the nursery... and of course being her efficient self again, she called The Daddy and got him to wait for her and Our Little One in the clinic in 15min.
After collecting the precious cargo from the nursery (not to mention dashing back into the car so that Our Little One got as little of the HOT sun as possible), the Mommy and Our Little One were on their way to medical attention. Well, it turned out that Our Little One has infection in BOTH ears (with the right one really bad)... like Doctor asked: "Did he not cry few days ago?" well of course the answer is NO! not even a sign that Our Little One was having any infection... I mean Our Little One does have a HIGH pain tolerance (takes after his mother I suspect) and with no sign of discomfort or even fussiness (though that the Mommy will have to concede that she may have been negligent since toddlers nearing the Terrible 2s are usually ignored when they whinge) how would we know that Our Little One's ears were infected? Anyway all said and done, Our Little One got ONE HUGE dose of antibiotics and some other stuff ... Fingers crossed, Our Little One will be up and running (with both the Mommy and Daddy panting after him) in a day or two...
So that sums up the last few days the Household had... pretty sick / boring / mundane ... erm ... did I just sum up life in the nutshell?
