Gems from today

Kate, while doing her homework: "Will someone get me a drink of water NOW?!  All this thinking is making me thirsty!"

During the wind storm, a few minutes ago: The girls heard the wind roaring like crazy and went to look out the window.  Then they ran to me to grab my phone... to check the current weather.  I've tried to explain to them that what they see out the window is actually more up-to-the-minute than the Weather Channel app on my phone.

While watching the storm out the back door, Kate was yelling at the wind to STOP.  Then it whipped up even harder.  So she tried to placate it: "It's okay, don't get angry!  Just chill.  It's okay!!!"

Video: taken with my phone and it was getting dark, and the girls were getting in my way... but especially at the very end you can see how blustery it is!



The sad news -- my ear is excruciatingly painful again.  I called my doc early this morning and just heard back a few minutes ago.  He wants me to go back to my Otolaryngologist to get it checked out since I've been on two antibiotics for two weeks now and the steroid drops and had my ear cleaned out and it's still so very bad.  Of course they called me late enough that I have to wait until tomorrow to call the ENT for an appointment.  Who knows how long it will take to get in...  At least the girls are so entertaining in the mean time :P
