Cheese With Your Whine?

Drops and a binkyI made it to the doctor yesterday b/c I left a bit early. Sure as shit she's got pink eye in BOTH eyes. I would have loved to try the OTC stuff, but I wouldn't have been able to send her back to school with just that. As it was, they told me she had to be on medicine for 24 hours before she could come back. God love our ped because he said there was no reason she couldn't go to school today. So, armed with a note from the doctor and a $50 bottle of drops that's no bigger than a quarter she went to school. I hope she's okay and not hurting or fussy. I hate *hate* leaving her when she's not at her best. Mommy guilt. In waves.
My boss would have had a hissy fit if I hadn't shown up today. He's been gone for a week, which means he's going to be in here all day with stuff.
I did a silly thing....Rylee wakes up sometimes in the night and just wants to suck - not really nurse; there's nothing there - but just wants the suck action. So I popped in a binky and it worked. I might regret it, but it seems worth the sanity and not having chapped boobs. This morning she wanted it in the car. So at the time most moms are weaning from it, I'm giving it to her. If she just wants it in the car and for sleeping, I'm okay with it. She's not going to have to have it walking around all the time. The crazy thing is, she's always kind of played with them, but could really just sort of take it or leave it and never HAD to have it.
I've created a binky baby at 17 months. Heaven help us.
