Is School Really Necessary??

Sabrina, had her first trip the the Emergency Room today...shes fine :)

This afternoon I noticed a red rash on the right side of her face and she kept having this white discharge from her eye. When she woke up from her nap she came out of the room... when I saw her I GASPED!!!! LOUD!!!! (not my best parent moment). Her eye was completely shut and swollen, it looked horrible!!!
After I washed her face, I threw clothes on both of us and took off to the Quick Care down the street, it was 4:05 and they closed at 4:00 I got in the door and asked if there was anywhere else I could go....the Emergency room was the only place that would be open. I was so mad I was almost in tears.
as I was driving away I thought to myself "why did I leave? I should have just sat down and refused to leave" but then I guess being ignorant would not have helped the situation LOL LOL.

We were only at the Emergency room for a little over and hour!!! well... she has pink eye in both eyes. My eyes have been itching all day so I am sure I have it too.
To top it all off, the medication is not drops,but an ointment!!! I have to put it on the inside of her eyelid, the nest week will be fun times.

Hate is such a STRONG word,but I am not liking school right now. Every other parent I talked to today laughed, and said "you haven't seen anything yet".
being a parent is STRESS :)
If I was a good blogger, I would have pictures LOL

I'll keep you posted, she is a trooper, and seems to be feeling fine. the real sad thing is that Monday was going to be her first field trip to Anderson dairy,but she needs to stay out of school until at least Wednesday the doctor said. I felt so bad she got ice cream after the emergency room. Maybe I will keep telling her "today is Saturday,no school for the next few days" LOL

OMG! So did you make her two eye patches? You could have Mom & Me matching pirate patches!!!
What about you, can you even see the keyboard?

Tell my bff Sabrina that I can't play with her for a while...yikes.

Did she really get ice-cream or cottage cheese-yogurt?

Sorry, I know it's not funny!

You know I will get on the computer if I am squinting through one bloodshot eye.
