Too Much Fun

Note: Excerpted from the e-mail I sent my boss and coworkers at 2:00 this morning . . .

"Apparently Kaitlyn had a little too much fun in the sun (and the pool) over the Memorial Day weekend. She's been complaining about her ear hurting since Tuesday and I assummed it was just a little extra water shaking around from all of her swimming.

She woke up screaming around 11:30 p.m. and a quick trip to the ER confirmed a nasty ear infection. Thanks to the 24 hour Walgreens she's already been dosed with Motrin for the pain, an antibotic for the internal ear infection and some very tickle inducing ear drops for the external ear infection. Since she had a three hour nap before we headed out for our nighttime adventure, she thoroughly entertained the ladies in the pharmacy with a lively song and dance routine in the waiting area at 1:00 a.m. Since I did not have a three hour nap, I will definitely be sleeping in."

Update: 9:00 p.m. I ought to mention the impromptu floor show at Walgreens was promtped by the fact that their pharmacy security monitor allowed Miss K to watch herself "on tv" to her endless delight. After four doses of ear drops, three medicine plungers of bubble gum flavored antibotics and a good amount of Motrin, all seems to be well today. K made it to her afternoon kindergarten class and I made it to work by 1:00.
