UGH: little kiddos are germy
I woke up Thursday with a cold. Bought Zicam fast melts and some generic brand dayquil and some halls to ease my sore throat. drank lots of fluids. Since I started work at the day care I wash my hands several times a day. We sanitize the changing table after each diaper change; wash the tables with a bleach solution after each meal, snack or messy craft activity, and sanitize any toys that wind up in their mouths, and still, I wound up with a cold.?
AND to top it all off, this afternoon my eye started to itch. Thankfully it was at the end of the day, because right after the last kid left, I looked in the mirror and realized, I HAVE PINK EYE! ugh! I wasn't able to get to the doc tonight, but first thing tomorrow I am heading to on call so I can get some eye drops. I can't return to work until I've been on the drops for at least 24 hours... I never touch my eye directly, but I have been sneezed on, spat on, drooled on, and otherwise in contact with germs. Hopefully this is just my body reacting to being around all these germs and once I get over it I won't get sick again. I haven't felt this crappy in a long time!
Anyway, I just wanted to vent to you all. I'm sure I'll be fine. But it sucks that im sick on the weekend!!!!.?
Re: UGH: little kiddos are germy
thanks ladies!
I got eye drops and my eye is no longer pink. (I have to stay on the drops for a week tho).
As for my cold, it seems to be getting better. I just have to keep reminding myself to wash my hands almost every 5 minutes in that room!
And I have started to take Echinacea as well as drinking green tea each morning which I hope will help to boost my immune system as well.
