It's time for TKW's random new game, Wild Card Wednesday! It's also the day the dentist finally finishes my root canal. Yippee!
So, for today's WCW, I have a riddle. What has eight red ears, six pink eyes, and cost me $300 yesterday?
Yeah, it's my kids. All four have double ear infections, and three of them have pink eye, but the doc just gave all four eyedrops because there's very little chance the fourth one won't get it. At least it's the once-a-day antibiotic instead of three or four times a day. That right there is $218 worth of medicine. After insurance. Plus the $20 per child copay at the doctor's office.

So, did you play?

ReplyDeleteoh wow!! I hope every one is feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI played.
HOLLLLLLY CRAP!
ReplyDeleteWe have one ear infection here. OMG. Poor you.
Whoa.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling way sorry for you. Besides having the World's Crabbiest Kids (and with good reason) on your hands you've also had to blow some good spending money on meds.
Sheeh. Kids.
I'm giving your lots of Bonus Points just 'cause you need them.
O.M.G.
ReplyDeleteWhen did kids get so darn expensive?
That is just wrong ! The sickness and the cost to fix'em. Are you getting ANY sleep ?
ReplyDeleteBen had pneumonia over Easter. I'm thinking, enough already !
Wow that sucks! I don't understand that, they say ear infections are not contagious but why do the kids get them at the same time? Weird
ReplyDeleteAngi, IO, TommieA - Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKami - I know!
TKW - Thanks for the points. And the sympathy!
Tammy - I keep telling the kids if they'd just stay well we could do more fun stuff! ;)
Cindy - Yes, it's gotten better. We had a pretty good night last night. Of course, now The Hubby has it!
Jnas - I think it's the colds, not the actual ear infections. But still.
