Why is It?

Why is it that when people ask me how I'm doing I feel a compulsive need to say, "Oh, I'm fine." I did that yesterday and this was my day.

Some background: I just had Lasek done so I have contact bandages on my eye and can't see very well yet. I'm been reassured that I won't be blind and I'll have good vision by next Friday, but alas it is only Sunday. (I have to keep reminding myself why I did the surgery this weekend to make myself feel better). I'm really drugged up on medication to help with pain in my eyes and therefore have brusies on my arm. Why bruises? Because I tend to walk into things while trying to reach the bathroom in the middle of the night.

The baby has a cold with a mild temperature, and has started wheezing again. Not enough for ER status, but just enough that I'm frantically worried and have his inhaler nearby at all times. He loves to run around which makes his wheezing worse. He hates his inhaler so life is all the more plesant when we subject him to it. Sometimes we have to choose. Crying because he wants to run and not stay still or crying for the inhaler. I sometimes choose the movie route because chasing a toddler with fuzzy eyes and on medication is difficult. Oh, also the boy fell over out of his chair yesterday and has a silver-dollar-sized bruise on his forehead and a scrape under his eye.

But I guarentee if you call me tonight and ask how I'm doing I'll say, "Oh fine!" Either that or I'll already be sleeping.
