The Zobot is a sick little muffin. It began with the runny nose that she contracted from Jeremiah. She has taken a vehement stand against the nasal aspirator since the day she was born (literally, she contracted a cold in the hospital), so her face has become this vortex of drool, tears, and snot. As a result of rubbing, the virus eventually infected her eyes, resulting in pink eye(s). When she woke up this morning, she was blind for the 15 minutes it took me to flush and rub the seam of eye glue that stitched her thick lashes shut, she sobbed, I was at the threshold. It’s a terrible feeling to wake a sleeping angel up to assault her in the ways of changing her/dressing her/and mugging her raw pink eyes before immediately ditching her at daycare.  Great sentiment to start the day with.  Thankfully her daycare isn't a daycare at all, but a loving household of people that dote on her almost as much as I do. And dogs. 


Yesterday we stayed home together. It turned out to be ab lovely day.  I cooked and cleaned, she was in great spirits despite her physical appearance telling otherwise. I yearned to live back in the period of time where both parents didn’t have to work to generate a livable income. We visited the doctor against my reasonable judgment.
These situations give me a catch-22 sentiment of shame. If I elect to not take her in -- there is the guilt I feel about not taking an illness seriously and giving her every chance at potential alleviation, then the guilt I feel about taking her in -- exposing her to further malevolent microorganisms perked at the thought of shacking up in her welcoming immature system on top of wasting a $20 co-pay and an hour plus of time to be informed through a furrowed browed physician what I already knew through my Google research. At this point, I think the score is like this Google: 5 Doctor: 0.   

poorest little monster!
