Pink Eye for Blue Eyes

Camryn stayed home from school today with Pink Eye. Which gave us the opportunity to try out our new medical benefits and pediatrician. Everyone was very nice and aside from spending 20 minutes at home trying to coerce Camryn into letting me put the drops in her eyes -- it was a piece of cake. That kid is really funny when it comes to getting worked up about stuff. Try explaining to a 9 year old that drops in her eyes are not a big deal. Really. I mean it's not like having your leg amputated? But to her that's exactly what it felt like. Until it was over, when she said "that was easy!" Which leads me to my favorite quote (for the time being until I hear a better one) from Nelson Mandela who said "It always seems impossible...until it's done." Amen.
