Yeah, this week can go to hell. On Monday my son was home sick from preschool and diagnosed with pinkeye and an upper respiratory infection. Today while at the doctor's office picking up a prescription for my man child husband who thinks he also has pinkeye, I asked the doctor to look at a spot on my daughter. Yep, it is chicken pox. My son still has to have ointment 4 times a day for the pinkeye but can go to school, my man child husband has to have eye drops either every 2 hours or 4 times a day for his "pinkeye" and now my daughter has to stay home until the spots go away (a week or more). Oh, and the week after next is half term and the school is closed for a whole week. Oh, and my husband is traveling 3 days next week.
I'm so sorry, and we were just talking about this last night! Is there anything I can do for you? I'm off in about 45 minutes and could pick up dinner or something.
You don't want to have Friday night dinner with us?!?!?!?
H is supposed to be off work soon, but thanks. I might be calling you next week though.
You need medicine. Kahlua in your coffee, vodka in your oj. Something. Hellsbells.
Rum and cherry coke are being consumed now. I had to wait until after school pickup before I started reeking of alcohol. It is past 5 here so it is cocktail hour anyway.

4 drinks in......two rum and cherry cokes and two glasses of red wine (and an amazing peanut butter s'mores thing) and I'm about to crash. Oh, and my husband really does have pinkeye. Dumbass for giving me attitude about washing his hands before and after helping me give our son eye ointment. No sympathy here, at all. This could be worse than a man cold.

UnderProtest OMG. I am soooooo sending you good health vibes for fast healing, and while I know pinkeye is not fun for your H and therefore not for you....I did LOL at the I told ya so. Boooo chicken pox.
Do they not give kids the chicken pox vaccine in Britain? I'm so sorry. Keep pouring drinks!!
Private doctors do, but the NHS does not. My kids had the vaccine before we left the US though. It only has a 30% effective rate, hence why my kid is still sick. Although the doctor did say that the kids who get the vaccine and still get chicken pox tend to have a milder case.

Thanks Pom The sad part is that I don't even feel like drinking today. I just want to go to sleep until this is all over, but no, I have to deal with chicken pox that are apparently starting to itch and 5 eyes worth of pinkeye. God I hope I don't get it.
I seriously said the words "I just want to sleep until it's over" earlier today, LOL. And truthfully, your "house of chaos" is way worse than our current mini-dramas. I'd be Lysoling (and it should be a verb here) the hell out of everyone and washing my hands until they are raw. Good vibes that you stay well and wishing you strength.
