Ugh...Pink Eye

Our Will has been battling a runny nose for a week which in turn some how became conjunctivitis. And in my motherly efforts to care for my sick child (wiping runny noses, removing gunk from gloppy eyes, administering eye drops to a two year old three times a day), I have managed to spread the infection to my own eyes.

Of course this would happen on a weekend when doctor's offices are closed and no one can be reached. Is there even an antibiotic to treat the infection that is safe to take while 7 months pregnant?

How did this happen? I had been so careful to not touch my eyes. My hands are raw from the constant hand washing I did to prevent this very thing. I've even been washing the bed linens and bath towels every day...up until the belt on the washer broke. It will now be Wednesday before the new belt will be in. I'm up to four pillows to remain quasi-comfortable at night. I don't own enough linens to change them every day until the washer gets fixed. And I really don't want to go to the laundromat. If I'm washing pink eye, what are other people washing? I just don't want to go there. I may resort to boiling water and washing them in the bath tub.

Speaking of the bath tub, I must go scrub it clean again. I never feel is clean enough. Especially when I see Will lying in an empty tub slurping the remaining water from the bath mat! What possessed him? How did that enter his mind? I am genetically predisposed to hypochondria, OCD-tendancies, and all around germ-phobia. They're kicking into overdrive!
