Oopsie, I'm getting really bad at diagnosing my family's illnesses lately. Turns out Chris wasn't faking any more than Lily was about the ear ache. He still felt like crap the next morning so it was off to the clinic and when he came back, he was just as whiny and miserable as the kids usually are. At least he doesn't have to take a 10-day course of antibiotics like Lily, he just got a shot in his behind. I can just imagine the look on his face when the doctor ordered him to drop his pants.

Now he's sound asleep and I'm telling the kids to keep it down so he stays that way. He's cranky because of the earache and because he's had to cancel one concert. For about an hour he was convinced he could still go through with it tonight but considering he's having trouble standing upright, that might be a little difficult.

But hey, maybe the critics would like him if he tried something new. Laying flat on your back would definitely be a new way to perform a two hour set. Then we'd just have to worry about him falling asleep, which he seems to do any time he has any kind of antibiotics in his system.

So for me its going to be another day of caring for a patient. Wonder if cartoons and some ice cream will keep him as happy as it kept Lily?
