Pink eye!!!

So my poor Ethan woke up a couple of mornings ago sick. I thought it was just a nasty cold or the flu but its mutated into pink eye. Although he feels mostly good he looks like he lost a fight with a heavy weight.

Anyway, desperate to get a remedy and not wanting to take him to the Dr. mostly because I just heard a few weeks ago about how European countries treat pink eye like a cold and we Americans treat it like the plague, I thought I'd calmly go about trying to remedy the situation.

I'm blogging at this early hour on a Tuesday because I was laughing so hard I had to share it....

For a good laugh go to your google browser and type in "natural remedy for pink eye". Some of the suggestions we legit and totally could work, I'm looking forward to trying them today, but some of them were hilarious!!! This particular website has people write in and give their experience and remedy and then people and say if it helped them or not. A lot of them were things like salt water, green tea bags, breast milk...... you know weird natural things that people might have (although we are fresh out of breast milk around here). My humor was engaged though at a couple of entries. One was from a guy who claims duct tape worked for him..... go figure! Another was from an "energy healer" who gets chronic pink eye and "visualizes" the pink eye burning up. This person claims you have to close your eyes and picture you eye ball catching on fire, but it isn't the eye ball that is on fire, just the infection (nice of them to clarify that one) and then picture different colors etc.

Great for a laugh if anyone wants one :o) 

It is slooooowly turning into spring here. We had a beautiful 70+ degree day last week and were dreamily soaking it in as there is no place more beautiful than Central Oregon in that kind of weather, and then yesterday it turned cold again and was spitting snow. I guess this is normal, but it leaves a person feeling a bit perplexed. I'm ready for spring!!!
