From Poison Oak to PINK EYE

Oh yes - it went from poison oak to pink eye ... only this time it's not Brennan who has it, it's ME :-( This is the 2nd time I've ever had pink eye and I hope it's the last. It started last night - draining, a little pink, itchy - and I knew when I woke up this morning it would be full-blown pink eye and boy was I right! Now it's red, draining constantly, was sealed shut this morning and hurts/is swollen....all like last time. But what's even better about this is that I'm supposed to be at jury duty tomorrow morning and I have no idea if this is excusable, should I call or show up, will they let me go to the doc to get some eye drops - who knows?! I know it's extremely contagious and that most people will not want me around, but when it comes to jury duty I have no idea what to expect because this is my first time for jury duty. I certainly don't want pink eye - but I definitely don't want pink eye AND being stuck in a court room all day tomorrow without access to my doctor and/or medicine. So wish me luck tomorrow and hope that they'll excuse me!

Other than that, the past week/weekend was good. Brennan's poison oak (or ivy?) is doing better, but it's still not gone. I had no idea it took this long for it to completely heal. At least his face is clear now - people won't look at him like a freak tomorrow during his first day of PRE-K....which I can't even drop him off b/c of this god awful jury duty ... as you can imagine, I'm not very happy about that OR missing the girls getting on the bus tomorrow morning to go to their first day of FIRST GRADE! Wow where has the time gone? I think the older I get, the faster it goes!

Our weekend involved lots of golf (surprise, surprise huh?!), eating out, shopping for the girls dresses for tomorrow....my first introduction to Limited Too - whoa, that is super expensive, but very adorable! I'm a sucker for cute clothes :-)

Off to watch Big Love and begin the week again. G'night!

Hi Lisa. I found your blog from a link on Karen's. :-) It's great to get updates on you all. I completely understand the pink eye thing. All three of my kids have it right now. Yikes. It's terrible. Brooke got it first and now Nathan and Lenny have it. It's the first time that the babies have been sick.

I hope you get better soon and get out of jury duty. That's terrible.

Take care,
Kelli
