Back to work

It's been an interesting week. I was out two days last week (without pay) because my youngin' was sick. I picked him up from daycare Tuesday and his teacher asked me if he had pink eye. I hesitated and told her that I didn't think so. I looked at his eye and sure enough, it was pink. So, I got online and checked it out. Made the decision to take him to the doctor the next day. We got to the doctor's office and not only does he have pink eye, he also has an ear infection. In both ears. The left one was pus-y. Yuck. I think the infection moved from his ear to his eye. Anyway, we stayed home Thursday and put drops in his eyes and sent him to daycare Friday. As of today, his eyes are clear and his left ear is pushing wax out. Another yuck. He's had half his medicine for the ears, so only 10 more doses to go. I really hope this works. I hate it when my baby isn't feeling well.

Saturday was fun. We went swimming with a friend and had a great time. If I can get Andrew to be comfortable not hanging on to me when he has his swimmies on the we'll have an even better time. We'll work on it as we plan to go swimming with these friends as many Saturdays as possible. Clayton and I had a Sunday School party that night. We did some running around before we dropped Andrew off with the babysitters at the preacher's house. (The preacher's wife is in our class). We had dinner at Miyabi Japanese restaurant and played putt putt golf at Frankie's Fun Park (http://www.frankiesfunpark.com/) and then had ice cream at the Cold-Stone Creamery (www.coldstonecreamery.com). It was a great, relaxing night without kids.

Father's day was uneventful. We let Clayton sleep since he had to work both Saturday night and Sunday night. I can't wait until the department goes to 12 hour shifts. He'll have every other weekend off. We'll have more time to do things as a family.
