The Red Eye

Two days ago I had a red eye.  I thought it was due to the sickness/allergies that has been giving me trouble this week.  Yesterday morning I woke up and had two red eyes...
They were sealed shut when I woke.   By the afternoon they were looking a little creepy. Finn said, "mama do they hurt?"
 
Last week Finn had some eye issues that we thought were allergies.  They were never real red so we didn't think pink eye.  Apparently, we were wrong.  Pink eye is one thing.  I am pretty sure if the child ever comes home with lice, we will just have to move out of our house and never look back.  Heads will be shaved. Clothes will be burned.  

Yesterday morning he wanted fried rice for breakfast...
 Yes, my child, eating fried rice and watching videos...
Tosh went first thing in the morning and got these bad boys... 
 
 I didn't even ask him to get the natural stuff. I just jumped right into the hard core chemicals. Must. Rid. House. Of. Pink. Eye. 

I cleaned literally every surface, every toy, everything you can imagine*. I even cleaned the Clorox container.  

Finn was so good while I did this. He set in the room and watched as I wiped his toys down.  Once I finished each toy, I would sit it on the carpet.  He would then say, "thank you so much mama."  This went on for two basket loads of toys...


*By everything, I mean everything. I even took a wipe down to the elevator and did a secret scrub down on the buttons we pushed the day before.  I felt really bad knowing that my pink eye germs were on the elevator buttons.  I just realized they probably saw that at the front desk on the security cameras.
