So...
ever since I started working at a daycare I managed:
(1) to twist my ankle twice
(2) to get bruises over every single limb of my body...a few times I looked like I had been beaten up
(3) get strept throat for the first time in I don't know how many years
(4) catch pink eye...three times!
(5) catch a cold at every chance I finally began to feel well and recover from another cold
and most recently that resulted in my first ER trip as a result of work:
get bleach splashed in my eye while disinfecting and end up with a corneal burn
It did not feel good at all
And the million eye drops they put into my eye at the ER didn't help
Now I am walking around with this really sexy white "patch" over my eye with white gauze tape strapping across the top and bottom of the patch...watch out boys, I'm eye candy
I leave for Florida on Saturday...and can't even swim
The chlorine will irritate my eye more
I can't wear eye makeup
When the bleach splashed in my eye, I started crying and ran out of the room and down the hall into the bathroom...I came out of the bathroom crying and heading to the front desk when one little boy, about three, goes "Miss Melissa got an owie? I kiss it and make it all better!" and I wanted to give him a hug...through all of this, all I have to do is think about him saying that to me, and I smile!
Working with little kids can be DANGEROUS!
But it's still worth it...even if I did earn a new nickname with my friends: Captain One Eye
