Some days are hard

...and the rest are even harder.

Bobby is suffering from pinkeye - in both eyes - and "suffering" is the perfect word to use. That poor little boy is being subjected to so much medicine right now, and constantly cries about "my itchy eyes". Not being able to take away his itchiness makes me feel so useless as a parent, and adding to his immediate discomfort by forcing him to take all this medicine makes me feel like a villain.

Days like this make me want to curl up in a ball (which is a feat unto itself, being nine months pregnant), hold a teddy bear, and cry myself to sleep.

Sounds like quite a dramatic statement, for such a minor illness, but I just feel so bad.
