Rotten

One of the things that really annoys me about New Year's is the concept that the simple progression from one day to another can somehow change your life.  I put way too much hope in the idea that this year would be so much better instead of just realizing that things can change on a dime and the year really has little to do with it.  That being said, today has been awful.  Rotten, terrible, and any other adjective you might be able to think up. 

Midge's ear went from bad to worse and by 9:40 am I had her in the doc's office with a ruptured ear drum.  Two hours later, after standing in line for EVER, I had her prescription in hand.  She has slept all day and her fever has hovered around 105.  As if that isn't enough, the truck we are borrowing broke down, Buster started running a fever, and Chiggie's ipod that she bought with her very own money was dropped and the screen is now cracked.  Come on tomorrow!
