Of my day, okay I am totally kidding. This is the day I have ahead of me though. I think Ali has pink eye so I am taking her to the doctor. Davis has an earache. He spends like every day in the pool, so I am taking him also to see if he has an infection. My niece might have strept so hey I am taking her along too for a throat culture. Now doesn't that all sound like fun? This summer has been horrible for my family. Everyone has had strep and sinus infections, and pneumonia, and flu. All my nieces and nephews have just passed it around. Ooh, that makes us sound so gross and dirty and unsanitary, doesn't it. I promise we are a clean family!! I guess just bad luck.

No fun

We had a bad year last year with sickness and I know what you mean about feeling like people think you have a dirty family.....really, I wash stuff and wash hands, etc

It just happens. So sorry and I hope you all are doing better soon. Pink eye clears up fast but its tough to get the drops in their eyes. Let us know how everyone is doing and take care.

We went through a bout a few months ago. Every kid of mine was sick and they'd all get bethher, then catch another illness for a week or two.

A hint with the eyedrops. Drop the drop in the inner corner of their eye when the eye is closed. When they open their eye, the drop falls into the eye. My Dr. taught me this and I did some of DD2's eyedrops when she was sleeping, then I'd pull her lid open. It worked quite well.
