again, not the day i had planned

so when i took today off for audrey's pink eye, i figured it'd be a pretty productive day with lots of playing.  then....i couldn't fall asleep until midnight.  she woke up crying three times, and was up for the day by 7:00. 

also the second time i woke up, i woke up with a bad ear ache.  it felt like my ear was plugged and it was painful.  now that i'm up for the day, i'm seriously tired (cross of being productive today) and my ear is less painful.  it still feels plugged and like it needs drained?  but the pain is gone unless i burp.  

 so my question to you is - would you go to the doctor?  in the night when it was painful i planned on going today.  but now that the pain has subsided some i'm on the fence. on one hand i have the day off and could go at anytime.  on the other, i was get paranoid that i'm just being wimpy and they'll tell me i'm fine!

    ETA:  i went and i do indeed have a bad ear.  hoping a ZPACK does the trick!

     now i'm just waiting on someone to come clean my dryer vent b/c i'm willing to bet we've got birds in there!  i guess it was quite a good thing that i took the day off for audrey's pink eye, which doesn't phase her at all!

    Upon reading your first post I was going to suggest waiting it out a little and buying sweet oil to help with the discomfort. I guess it's a good thing I wasn't on earlier. GL with the bird situation.

    thanks  brit :)  (can i call you brit?!)

    normally i totally would have waited to go, but it was having a completely open day.... and knowing my husband would get on me if i didn't go and then complained about it later.

    as for the birds....they were indeed nesting in the dryer vent.  so the guy cleaned it and put a screen up to keep them out!

    Yuck. I'm no doctor (wait...) but I tend to think of earaches in adults as rarely benign. Could be viral but at least you'' get on ABX if it's not. Glad you got it taken care of sooner than later! Hope Audrey's eye clears up soon so she can go to school. Chris is always the one to stay home if our kids are sick, but I imagine it's a blessing and a curse!
