Ear Infection Madness

I have an ear infection.  Yes, me, not the kids.  Me.  I am the one with the ear infection.  Since last Friday, I have struggled with horrible pain, loss of hearing and the urge to cut my ear off my head.  I am on my second round of antibiotics.  I still can't hear.  Ear drops haven't helped.  I am now convinced I will have to live the rest of my life this way, unable to hear and in chronic pain that makes it hard to chew.

On the plus side, my bad hearing means I can't really hear the boys fighting during the official Fighting Season: Round Eight, otherwise known as Will It Ever Stop Snowing for the Love of God?

On the bad side, the pain in my ear makes me realize I should have probably been a wee bit more patient and more kind to my own children when they had ear infections.  Because yes, it really does hurt.  And it hurts bad.
