Coughing & Motrin & Earaches...OH MY!!

My sweet little Marina is miserably sick! Her nasty cold started on Saturday morning, and it culminated into an earache Saturday night. She was up literally the entire night, in my bed with me, squirming and fussing and telling me her ear hurts. Tylenol hardly seemed to help. So, at about 2am, I woke up Ryan and told him that we need to do something else for this poor girl! Bless his heart...he put on his coat and shoes and went out into the blistery cold to Wal-Mart to pick up some of those eardrops that numb earaches. As soon as we got those into her ears, she was finally able to rest and sleep! I slept with her till 11am the next morning! And, to my sweet surprise, when I came downstairs, I found Ryan and Mark both cleaning and scrubbing the kitchen and the basement. They were cleaning up the rest of the mess from the birthday party. I couldn't believe they were so thoughtful! Ryan told me he just didn't want me to come down to a mess. So he was trying to get everything cleaned up before I came down. How I LOVE my husband! Of course, after about an hour of playing and eating lunch and stuff....the kitchen needed to be cleaned all over again. Welcome to my world!
