Our family's journey through life

Every Sunday I don't think about my Not Me! Monday post. I don't wonder when is Mckmama going to put her Not Me Monday post up?Sometimes she post on Sunday and other times she throws us blog reader's for a loop and post midday Monday.Just maybe this week will be my turn to be in the top ten! Well I don't really care about being in the top ten that is not why I am trying to finish my Not Me! Monday post Sunday night.Nope not me!

Earlier this week I pulled our handy dandy(did I really just say handy dandy?)dirt devil out to give the rugs a good vacuum.I did not vacuum Owain's play room(which used to be our dining room),living room and the hall way when I did not discover that the darn dirt devil wasn't picking anything up it was leaving little dirt and dust piles all over!What the heck?

Later when my husband came home from work he took a look at it.
This is not the conversation we had...

After inspecting it for a good thirty seconds...

"hey babe where's the filter?"husband asks full of curiosity

I replied "oooh no! I think I must of accidentally threw it away when I emptied it out!"

Husband responds "well we needed to by a new one anyways"

It is a good thing that did not really happen because if it did you might see me on my hands and knees picking up all the dust bunnies and crumbs that are visible with my hands.I am glad that I didn't throw away the filter!

My sweet little man did not have a fever for a little over 48 hours!It did not break my heart to see him in such a pitiful state.After a day of filling miserable we were finally able to get him in to see the Nurse practitioner and I did not want to give her a good slap across the face when she was cleaning out my baby's ears. Keep in mind Owain was screaming bloody murder. I am sure that people in Canada could ear his screams! I am not kidding! It was awful. After she was able to remove most of the wax during her torture treatment she was able to get a good look and discovered that our little man has a ear infection.His very first ear infection.Poor little man!

Just when we think it couldn't get any worse well it doesn't. Later in the day my little man did not break out into what looked like a small rash on his back. It did not turn into a head to toe rash.Which turned out to be? Well I will let you be the judge?


So it is a good thing that in the picture our little man does not have the chicken pox! or he would be absolutely miserable with an ear infection,chicken pox,a fever for 48 hours! Plus cutting three more teeth. Man I am glad none of this happened to my little man over the week.If it did we probably would have been up most of the night trying to keep our little man comfortable.

With little man being sick I did not make a bed of pillows on our living room floor and let him watch Bear and the Big blue House while we snuggled.

And I absolutely did not share a vanilla ice cream cone with him either. Nope not me!

If all of this did happen to my little man (ear infection,Chicken pox,fever) during his miserable state of discomfort I did not think to myself "at least we are dealing with a normal childhood illness at home" and not in the hospital having yet another surgery.Knock on wood!

Head on over to Mckmama's the creator of Not Me!Mondays to join in the fun!
