Falling to pieces!

Today was school picture day. Gabi was dressed up looking cute so of course I grabbed my camera. I hit the power button and was shocked to discover the screen was shattered on the inside. My immediate reaction was to blame Gabi. She is always taking my camera out of my purse and snapping pics. I asked her several times if she had borrowed my camera and dropped it until I remembered the nasty fall I took the day before! I'm devastated! It was a great camera and less than a year old. Rick just told me yesterday that he hoped this camera would last me a while! A new camera is totally not in the budget right now! So the day did not get off to a great start! Then I had to take off work early to take Gabi to the doctor. We both seem to get congested in the fall and suffer from minor allergies. She really hasn't been sick but she had complained several times that her ears hurt. She had several ear infections last year so she knows what they feel like. The nurse practitioner asked all the usual questions about pain and symptoms and was kind of surprised that I even brought Gabi in! She didn't have a fever and looks and acts like she is healthy. But when the doctor looked in Gabi's ears she confirmed that they were definitely infected. The doctor debated prescribing anitibiotics but with Gabi's history she ultimately decided to give her some and she wants to check her again in four weeks to make sure her ears have drained and the infection has cleared. So we are both home sick and still without water!
