I’ve been absolutely dying for a day home to myself – no kids, no work, no hubby. A day to relax and do just about nothing without being so sick that I can’t get out of bed.
I got my wish:
That would be pink eye my dear internet friends
(aka Conjunctivitis).
I took the kids to an indoor playground on Saturday – I bet that’s where I got it.
Yesterday my eye was itchy as hell. I rubbed it and rubbed it and rubbed it – by the end of the day it was so swollen that I could barely open it. In the middle of the night Sierra peed the bed and came to get me – only I couldn’t open my freaking eyes. Both were gunked right shut. YUCK!
I went into work this morning wearing 3oo lbs of makeup to disguise my eye. I worked an hour, then left to go to a walk-in clinic. Did you know that pink eye is highly contagious and that you should stay home when you have it? Nice! Thanks Dr!
So I’m home for 48 hrs on some sort of antibiotic for the eye. The kids are at daycare, hubby is at work and I’m home alone with Molly Dog. I’d be bored silly but my house is a mess! Now I finally have time to clean it….

hi Janice,
UGHHHH! We haven’t been stuck with pink eye in our family yet, and I’m knocking on wood right now!
This does remind me of one time I was camping and my eye got bitten around so many times by bugs I couldn’t open it. I was a temporary zombie cyclops! ~ Steve, the one-eyed trade show guru

Oh man that looks ouchy! I’ve never had it but I remember when my son caught it from Daycare once. It wasn’t pretty and he cried when he’s eyes were ‘glued’ shut because of all the gunk.

Ewww! Pink eye is NOT fun! I had it once and I hope to never have it again. I don’t know what’s worse – the pink eye or the headache that comes with it? Take care and get well soon.
Ah! I’m so sorry.. my eyes started watering just reading this. Hope you get well soon:)
Ouch
Do you have any idea exactly what caused you to get pink eye? That way the rest of us can avoid getting it? Do you think it was because of the germs that might have been at the Playground? 
hope you feel better… get off the computer for a bit! get well soon Janice.
