Our stinker has been battling a sinus infection and pink eye for the past several days (and nights.) This is the first time he's really been sick, and I can now say that one of the worst things in life is seeing your child suffer. I feel totally helpless as a mama. He has no appetite, wakes up in pain every night, and is generally miserable. Just look at this face...
I had a dream when I was about ten years old that someone maliciously super-glued my eyes shut, and when I woke up, my nightmare became a reality. Panicked, I yelled to my mom across the house, "Mom, someone glued my eyes shut!" That was my first experience with pink eye. This is my second. Yuk.
Wes and I are in the clear (knock on wood), but sleep deprivation has taken its toll... It doesn't, however, seem to have completely dampened Liam's good spirits.
We're crossing our fingers he's fully recovered by turkey day. He's a fighter.
In other news, Park City declared a "snow emergency" today. One meteorologist said, ""This (blizzard) will far surpass anything that we've seen, probably for the last several years." KSL recommends eating when it's cold because the food will help keep your body warm. Oh, we've got that covered. This may be my first pre-Thanksgiving blizzard... The abominable snowman below is my husband, trying to plow through the layers of snow that accumulated this past weekend. This is just the beginning, baby.

Ahhhh Rach, pink eye. Been there, and done that (with all 4 of us.) Poor Liam. Pink eye must not be near as irksome to him as the sinus infection, however. Geezelaweeze, someone needs to give this kid a break. (And his parents.) Congrats for entering and surviving this rite of passage. There are so many wonderful things about parenthood, and this ain't one of them.
Poor Liam...
Golly, Wes really does do that roller coaster of a driveway...good on ya Wes.
