Pink St. Patrick's Day

Sometimes being a mom sucks. Not so much for the piles of laundry, endless chores or sleep deprivation, but for having to break my little boy's heart. Today is Jack's best friend's birthday, and the party at Pump it Up. Despite looking forward to it for weeks, we can't go. Why? Pink eye! Jack woke up with his eye crusted closed and I had to break the news to him. He cried in my arms about having to miss out on his best buddy's special day, even though he understood he couldn't spread his germs to all his friends. Pink eye on this green day has us feeling blue.
