Sunday, daughter is having her first cold and not dealing with it well. Sunday night, food poisoning gets me, with the usual effects. Sunday morning, food poisoning sets in for my wife. Monday all day and night, daughter still sick and seems to have gotten pink eye in both eyes, and my wife is still food poisoned.

Today, trying to eek out half a day of work before a Dr visit and praying my wife and I don’t end up with pink eye too.

I do not understand how families with two working parents do it. My wife just had to burn her two only vacation/sick days and I’ve been taking at least one day off every week so far this year to deal with one thing or another.

Sorry. If it helps you feel a little less alone I fell alseep watching Netflix Sunday night and woke up to pain in my neck so bad I had to be an hour late to work because I couldn’t get out of bed without drugs. Neck pain is still with me and I have a pimple in my nostril too now.

Hope you all get better soon.

my daughter had what looked to be pink eye but was actually some weird side-affect of the type of cold she had. doctor confirmed this.

Bringing her to the doctor today, so I’m hoping it’s not as bad as it looks.

If it makes you feel any better my boss is going through almost the exact same thing (indeed had to double check your story to make sure you weren’t my boss...) but is also moving at the same time. Has to be out of his place today. Fun times.

Dammit, not the nostril! It’s funny (not ha-ha funny, I guess) after some serious pain like that how a pimple can still stand out and ruin your day.

As far as I know, I’m not anyone’s boss, so you’re safe. But just in case... get back to work!

Crazy how these perfect storms happen sometimes.

Sad boser for you.

Kinja'd!!!

Keep in mind a lot of times little ones get plugged tear ducts when they get colds - eyes gets red and watery and goopy but it’s not pink eye. Warm washcloth held on there for a few minutes will clear it up. It’s worse in mornings and at night when they get tired.

Keep the Tylenol coming..

Ugh! That sucks!

I’ve taken way more PTO days for my kids, than for any other reason.

We had the same thing with our daughter, so hopefully yours will also not have pink-eye.

Well, confirmed, two pink eyes. She’ll love getting the eye drops, though, right?

That’s what I was hoping, but doctor confirmed it’s pink eye(s). This should be fun.
