It's been quite a while. We have been battling one illness after the next here in the Crazy Lane. First, we all got colds. That turned into RSV. After we recovered from that, we were hit with Strep. As the girls got better, I actually got ... are you ready for it? Shingles! Shingles?! I'm not 80, for goodness sake!
At any rate, the shingles have just about cleared up, right in time for ... PINK-EYE! Cakes, Peanut, and I have all been stricken with goopy, itchy eyes. Are you ready for my treatment? BREASTMILK!!! I learned from a friend of mine that breastmilk works wonders when it comes to ear infections and pink-eye.
As soon as Peanut woke up with her eyes fused shut, I immediately took aim and fired with my organic home remedy. However, as you can imagine, the "guns" were not designed for accuracy. The result was 15 minutes of screaming and spraying before I achieved the desired result. After that, I wised up. I now collect the homemade antibiotic in a cup, line up the children, dump it into their eyes, and have them blink to flush their eyes out. I even added Bean to the assembly line, as a pre-emptive strike.
It's working!!!! Peanut's in much better spirits and is losing that goopy, glassy-eyed look that accompanies pink-eye. Cakes' pink-eye has been contained to one eye, which is clearing up nicely. And Bean has yet to be stricken. My eyes are also clearing up nicely.
And so Mommy, the human pharmacy, carries on and is trying to catch up on the blogging.

Oh my goodness!!! You all are having a real rough go of it, aren't you? Sheesh!
I'm sorry, but I'm kinda laughing at the idea of you trying to squirt your breastmilk into your kiddo's eyes. That is so something I would do. HA! Too funny. Glad it is working!
