Sweet Home Alabama

We got up earrrrrrly this morning to make the trek back to B'ham, mainly because I have A Lot Of Cooking to do between now and tomorrow night. And Alex was fussy, as one would expect a three year old to be when awakened at 6:30 AM and then strapped into a carseat. But about an hour into our trip, I could tell that he was making the move from fussy to Something Is Awry, and an hour later when the crying. wasn't. stopping., I got a little concerned.

The bottom line is that we went straight from the interstate to the pediatrician's office, and the little man has an eye infection and an ear infection. Guess it's the Week-O-Infection around here. :-) And can you imagine the interweb search engines that will direct people my way as a result of that last sentence?

He's much better now, the toddler. A hefty dose of Tyenol did the trick on that pesky ear pain, and a three hour afternoon nap offered even more restorative powers. So now I'm free to get in the kitchen and, as Sister and I say, HIT IT. Lots to do.

Bless his heart.
