Ya Got the Pink Eye


It is spreading like wild fire through our house! Monday morning, I was running on the treadmill and got a call from Will's preschool...he has pink eye! Tuesday, Brent called from work and says that his eye feels itchy...he has pink eye! Both Will and Brent are on the drops and I am washing my hands like crazy. After Brent and Will have been on meds for 24 hrs, I begin to feel like we are past the worst of it. This morning as Jack is getting ready for school, I see him rubbing at his eye. Yep, case #3! This really doesn't reflect well on our hygiene practices! So I am playing Florence Nightingale to 6 pink eyes...and washing my hands like crazy!

The irony is that yesterday Jack was complaining because Will had a school holiday today and he had to go to school. He just wanted to stay home too! This morning I tell Jack that he has pink eye and will stay home from school today. He bursts into tears because "I want to go to schooooool!" Be careful what you wish for, little man.

Now, I'm off to wash my hands....
