The Price of Pink Eye...



Just as I finished dressing in a rush this morning, 

Kate stepped around the corner and said, "Mommy, my eye hurts..."  

I saw her earlier as I was in the shower, 

but I guess the steam and my own bleary eyes did not detect the matted lashes 
and gooey yellow sleep stuck to the corner of her eyes.  

I am such a good mother....  

She cheerfully dressed herself before launching her complaint, so how would I know? 

Pink eye... 

It's a game changer...

No school, gotta see the doctor asap and no work for me.  

I have this week planned like a choreographed dance from "Black Swan"... 

BTW, congrats to Natalie P, even though I did not care for the movie.  
I kept wanting to slap Nina and tell her to "Snap out of it!"  

Anyway, we have a lot going on next week of which I'll share after the fact...

and this pink eye business tosses a new dance step to the week.  

Oh well, gotta go with it, huh?  

So, we dash to the dr.'s for a fifteen minute visit that cost, oh probably $150.00.  

Then we zip to the pharmacy and pick up a bottle of drops no larger than a thimble...$80.00...  

Really??  

I could have a mani/pedi and a pretty good haircut for that much... 

Not to mention almost a week's worth of groceries from Aldi.  What a rip off....  

Kate allowed me to photograph her lovely pink eyes, first with a smile....

then with a fake pout.  

She is quite content to watch TV and hang with mommy, 

plus notice the chocolate stains on her chin...



Credit the chocolate bunny she jedi-mind tricked me into buying her at the pharmacy....  

Yeah, that's a fake pout....this kid is happy!
