I&#8217;ve been staring at this empty screen for quite a few minutes now, but nothing is happening. No rants, no complaints, no witty anecdotes (I like to think they&#8217;re witty, anyway), no pleas for assistance or information. There&#8217;s a whole bunch of stuff rattling around in my head, but none coherent enough to make a full post out of it.<\/p>\n<p>I was going to ask you about ear infections. Seems Simon has one. Again. How do you tell your kid has an ear infection anyway? There&#8217;s no external sign like flaming red ears or a big neon sign saying, &#8220;Ouch.&#8221; He wasn&#8217;t tugging on his ears and meaningfully engaging my attention like Lassie when Timmy fell down the well. I thought he just had a cold. Notch another mark on the bad mommy calendar I guess.<\/p>\n<p>And then I thought I&#8217;d whinge for a while about Tristan&#8217;s temper tantrums of late. Hooo-boy. I thought at three we&#8217;d be mostly past that, but for the past week he has been truly insufferable. But that&#8217;s about all I&#8217;ve got on that topic.<\/p>\n<p>I really should tell you to wander over to see <a href=\"http:\/\/anndouglas.blogspot.com\/\">Ann&#8217;s new blog<\/a>, except I am so insanely jealous that I don&#8217;t really want to draw any extra attention to it. It&#8217;s just <em>exactly<\/em> the kind of redesign I was <a href=\"http:\/\/momm-eh.blogspot.com\/2005\/04\/spring-cleaning.html\">talking <\/a>about for my own blog. Hmpf.<\/p>\n<p>I toyed with the idea of complaining about my new cube. It sucks. I used to be tucked away in a corner against a wall, now I&#8217;m in the middle of the zoo off a high-traffic corridor. Between overhearing telephone conversations from five or six different people and the drop-in visitors who have nothing better to do, it&#8217;s pretty darn hard to concentrate on my blog. Er, work.<\/p>\n<p>Oh wait, here&#8217;s an idea. We can rejoice that finally the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs.com\/primetime\/amazing_race7\/teams\/meredith\/\">annoying old couple <\/a>got eliminated from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs.com\/primetime\/amazing_race7\/\">Amazing Race <\/a>last night. Okay, now what?<\/p>\n<p>Nope, I got nothing. So, what&#8217;s new with you?<\/p>\n<p><em>Edited to add:  Here&#8217;s another thing that I thought I&#8217;d mention but couldn&#8217;t work up enough steam to merit a full blog post.  My dear friend \u00c3\u0153berGeek was kind enough to point me toward this <a href=\"http:\/\/darthside.blogspot.com\/\">blog<\/a>.
