Ok so, you know those parents? The ones we all talk about behind their back?
They bring their OBVIOUSLY sick child out in public. To day school, to bible study, to church, to play group. You look at them and think, "Have you no decency? Do you not care about your own child and the children of others?"
And you know what? Sometimes, other people call out those parents. Sometimes they say, "Uh, we are worried about your child's eyes and the goop that is surrounding them." Sometimes they say, "I think eye infections are incredibly contagious." And do you know what those parents do? They laugh it off. They do not heed the warnings. They say, "Yeah, I think she's ok" or "It's probably just allergies" when everyone is really thinking, "Yeah right! It ain't allergies! Get that kid away from here and to a doctor!"
You know what else? Those parents generally have nice friends who refuse to hold them accountable for bringing a highly contagious child out in public. They just say, "Oh, hopefully she'll feel better soon!" or "You didn't know how sick she was!" Those friends need to ban together to say "No more will you bring your sick child around!"
I swear, the people that take out their ill children really irritate me.
Found out today Kendall has a severe sinus infection that spread to her eyes that caused a massive case of double pink eye. I apologize to the parents of the masses of school and church children she has been around since Tuesday, when I began artfully ignoring her symptoms. Doctor says we'll be noncontagious by Saturday, so we'll see ya at church on Sunday!

I inadvertantly exposed an entire flight from Norway to London to Dallas back in 1989 to chicken pox - I honestly didn't know Jennifer and Chris had it. But then I DID take them to a craft show the next day thinking perhaps they DID have it...
Guilty as charged. :)
You are so funny!
Oh, yeah! My eyes have been feeling a little gritty all day long. Just kidding! I took Noah to Sonshine School the first time he had pink eye too. Fortunately, a nurse was a teacher at that time and told me I had to leave with him.
My "kid" is 27, and he gave Anna and our nephew the flu.
I'm only talking to you still because you didn't infect OUR entire family with pinkeye. ;)
You better get that junk cleared up by Sunday. I bought Anna a new dress to wear to your church and we all know it's not for Colt. It's so she can stand a chance next to Kendall and Cade.
PS: I'll bring the hand sanitizer. Yes, I'm THAT mom.
HAHA! Cheri that's funny.
Hopefully, the pink eye will be gone by Sunday. Hey, at least it's not lice, and you're having to explain that to all your kiddos friends.
And to think I had just nominated you for MOM OF THE YEAR...how disappointing...
Since I carried her around all morning with her wiping her eyes all over my shoulder, should I be worried????
thats funny I do the same thing.
I wish I knew how to put in a stat counter but I don't know how to put the coding into my wordpress. it always messes up.
