Yesterday ended up being...something. It was my day off. I ran to the store and then to get a pedi.
I had arranged to help my sister out with getting her kids because my parents are on vacation in Mexico (BIL is deployed and mom and dad stay with her during the week to help). Of course, it was a cluster since I'm like, the third, different person getting her kids this week. But my 1 year old nephew didn't cry when I picked him up, so that was a win.
We were at my older nephew's school when I look down at DefConn and realize his right eye is red and has green gooey shit oozing out in the corner. I was going to stay so my sister could take older nephew to karate and leave the baby home, but I was all, "I gotta go and you don't want me to stay. Deuces!" when she walked in.
Went to medcheck. Yup, pink eye. Drop DefConn and home and run to the pharmacy...grabbing some vodka and stuff to mix it with along with those eye drops, because of course. DefConn woke up at 4:45a and both eyes were crusty, so yay. I didn't really go to sleep after that either.
I've been parenting for 13 years now and I've never dealt with pink eye. I didn't have it as a kid either. Pink eye, like lice and puking, gives me the 'fear'. So now my eyes are sympathy itching. I hope I don't get it. I've never looked at my eyes so intensely, so many times...ever. Also, my hands are probably going to be chapped by the end of the day with the obsessive washing.
In other news, the main guy from that company that has been pursuing DH asked for him to come in today to sit down and chat. So, we'll see if anything comes of it.
The word of the day is coffeeeeee...until 5 and then it's all about some evening drinks.
ETA: My child got a slap bracelet from the medcheck place last night. I've heard nothing but
*snap!* (rollout) *snap!* (rollout) for about 20 min now. Pray for me?
