Off to a great start

The start of week 2 and we're off to a fine start!!

I have woken up with an incrediously sore ear! I don't know if I've slept with arm pressed onto it the entire night or if I have the makings of an ear infection so yes, a trip to the Dr is on the cards for me this morning. I've always had problems with my ears since I was little but for the past 2-3yrs they have been relatively stable. I've been seeing an ENT every 3-4months to keep an eye on things because believe it or not, I still have a grommet in my right here that was put there when I was 14! You work out the math! Anyway my specialist has always told me "any problems, give me a call" so I'll go see the GP first (easier to get into) and then call the ENT and let him know and he can decide if he needs to take a look.

Ethan's also off to a fine start himself. Poor little guy has had his cold come back, just when you think he's over it, and was coughing so much after his bottle this morning that, let's just say, he now has an empty tummy and feels better for it. He's gone to sleep (on an empty tummy!) and has been sleeping for around an hour now. He is a bit phlegmy so I will have the Dr check him out aswell.

We can go months without having to visit our Dr, then as soon as one person in this family goes, it all snowballs from there! I had to take 3 of the children to see him last week (tonsilitis, immunisations & home sick from school), and here we are this week with myself needing to go and Ethan again. Thankfully our GP bulk bills!!

Depending on the outcome of the look inside my ear, I may not go to the gym this morning. I have a body pump class on but my ear feels "blocked" and we all know ear infections can affect balance. Combine that with lifting weights overhead and it may not be a good mix!! We'll see how we go! I may settle for an hour of cardio.

Til later........

Hope you are feeling better this afternoon. Any study on the cards? lol. Sorry couldn't resist. Not fun having kids sick and trying to do normal things.
