Sunday, October 10, 2004 - Children of the Red Eyes

My kids caught my cold (usually it's the other way around). And now both of them have an eye infection. Ironwolf is howling that it's pinkeye, but I don't think that's actually the case. It doesn't seem to be bothering them too much, so I'm not terribly worried.

A minor complication to the cold thing is that Zipper fell yesterday and gave himself one heck of a bloody nose. (Ironwolf freaked out - he doesn't handle the blood thing very well). So Zipper doesn't just have a stuffed up, runny nose, but a bloody, stuffed up, runny nose, and he is continually at it, making it bleed again and causing no end to the aggrevation.

It heralds one of the typical "mom-truisms":

"It won't get better if you don't stop picking at it!"
