Stop reading if you don't want to hear me complain......
We woke yesterday to an infant covered in snot. It was matted in her hair, on her bunny, and all over her sheets. When we heard her wheezy cry, Craig went to get her out of the crib. I stumbled into the bathroom, my head pounding, to get a drink of water before nursing her. My eyes felt like they were on fire, and as I looked in the mirror the reason for that became clear. There was green goo covering my lids.
I have bacterial conjunctivitis AKA pink eye.
What the #$%@!
The last time I had pink eye was high school (that time was the viral form). From what I gather, Julia's cold (which she got from Grace who got it from Craig) isn't giving me respiratory issues, it's making my eyes boogery. Thankfully, I have antibiotic eye ointment (unopened from the last time Grace had conjuctivitis).
We spent the bulk of the yesterday disinfecting the house. I did three loads of laundry on hot with bleach added. We used a container of clorox wipes on the door handles, light switches, you name it. My eyes are a little better today. I don't look like a drunk at least. Julia's nose is clearer as well.
I really don't care that this post reads like a pity party. It took all of my reserves yesterday to not break down and cry. I wish there was a rental service for grandmothers. We could use one right now.

I actually called my Mom the other day asking if she could come this week - half joking half serious - Andy is leaving for the West Coast for the week which wouldn't be a big deal if I was still on leave but trying to coordinate everything this week by myself is a little scary - and yes I am having a pity party of my own in Boston so I think you deserve one more than me! Murdoch and I am both stuffy - too bad he can't blow his own nose - oh well, maybe some day. Hope things improve! Talk to you soon. S
