Avery is sick again: She developed a fever Wed. afternoon, and a semi-frantic trip to the doctor late yesterday confirmed an ear infection. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, either, and there was a rough moment in the afternoon where Avery was crying, Zoe (who was in a bit of a defiant mood) was refusing to stop playing the harmonica, and I was feeling sorry for myself (this is my vacation!) and just wanting to crawl into bed and pull the covers over my head. Ah, I thought, so this is what drives parents to drink.

Alas, things are better today. The meds kicked in for Avery, my cold improved, and Zoe and I spent the afternoon at the Stanford Shopping Center, happily running around and making holiday purchases under a blue winter sky. Talk about the ups and downs of life with kids!
