BM told me yesterday his ear hurt and I told him we'd keep an eye on it. He is 1000% otherwise and has only had one ear infection - we he started preschool. The germs. Well, the germs and all the water play.

Anyway, I noticed tonight though BM seems to have some pretty decent hearing loss. IT took me a while to realize. Likewise, I called dh to tell him and he felt bad. He said he noticed BM was NOT listening well today at all. He thought he was just misbehaving or in a mood. But hearing my thoughts and putting 2 and 2 together, he said he noticed a little bit that his hearing seemed off.

Plus when I asked, well yeah, his ear had hurt earlier today too.

Another trip to the doc!

Yeesh. Will try to get in tomorrow.

IRonically, dh just got an appointment for a follow up hearing test. He had vertigo about a year ago and had some hearing loss. They wanted to follow up in a year. So they just made an appointment for him.

& as far as LM, he clearly does not have pink eye. Just a false alarm. At least we didn't have to pay for a doctor visit - that just worked out. So I am glad we chose not to go with the antibiotics. Not needed.

He's good as new and his mood has improved VASTLY!!!! (Knock on wood). Oh, just being under the weather brought out his nasty side. Likewise, I had been quite worried something more was wrong. But it has seemed to dissipated rather quickly, as he also feels better. Phew.

So yeah, will be shelling out some money for doctors' visits this month. Feels never ending lately... Like something every week.

I have personally been feeling good as new since Monday. I actually felt rather bad over the weekend, and then just woke up monday good as new. But man, it took a while to get past that flu bug. Bah.
--------------------------------------

Today I wrote out $3500 in checks. *choke* $1200 to the IRS and $2300 for property taxes. I got it all ready to go but will mail them in April.

It occured to me that I had heard that stamps were going up. Phew, in May. So I got them all ready to go - will pop in the mail in a month.

But anyway, I think we should have just gotten forever stamps. I have a whole sheet of stamps since we just don't really use them any more. I will have to put a big note on the sheet to add a cent with every stamp. How annoying! Like I will remember next year when I am still using the same sheet.

Yeah, next time? Forever stamps.

I also found out today that tonight is Daylight savings. Huh????? I was rather thrown off by this. I had no idea, and was a little confused. But I was glad someone had told me. LOL.

Then later I brought it up to dh. Oh, he was not happy! He hates it as it is, but TIVO has had a horrid time with this time change thing. They couldn't figure out how to change the time last time, for the longest time (like days). So our TIVO was all screwed up. It had been programmed for regular daylight savings, not this new extended version.

So as dh started on his anti-Daylight Savings tirade, I realized why I had no clue. I forgot it came early this year.

This actually made me VERY happy. I love the early daylight savings. I LOVE it when it stays light out rather late. For now the kids and I have plenty of daylight to get out of the house after I get home from work. In the summer we spend the evenings at the pool. & getting an extra couple of months to do so is just divine if you ask me.

Dh is not pleased, but I told him to just be happy for me.

He said why don't I just work from 7am-4pm in the summers.

He has a point, that would be much easier. Well, Daylight Savings wasn't my idea.

Anyway, it just feels like the lazy hazy days of summer have arrived early with this early time change.

I just wish I had a little more warning that I would lose an hour this weekend.
