Made it to Amarillo. All day in the truck and only 2 stops to really potty, plus one for Anna in the grass :) . This has become her favorite past time this year, which is actually convenient for us!

She screamed herself to sleep in the car seat (some things never change, even 3 yes later) then slept for 2.5 hr! Yippie! Just as I got comfortable and dozed off she woke up. Of course. She's actually been really good all day.

She woke from nap complaining of ear pain in her right ear. It has lasted for the past several hours and it's in the same ear that the tube is currently working its way out of. Paul thinks it's an ear clearing issue but I am worried it may be complications of the tube. You know me, I can't help but think of the what-ifs, especially in the middle of nowhere. So while we're here in Amarillo for the night, we'll keep an eye on it Nd see how things progress on wake up. But if Paul thinks it sucks that she starts complaining in the middle of nowhere tomorrow when her ear starts hurting, I will probably make things worse with worry and stress of my own in thinking I should have just gotten it checked out when we had the chance. If we were home it'd be another story, but let's face it, we're talking a long road trip through nowhere tomorrow. Otherwise there's an urgent care facility that opens at 8 tomorrow and it's 5 miles away. What would you do?
