Gwenn, the pink-eyed leper



You know it's bad when even Haitians go out of their way not to touch, look at or BREATHE near me. Madame Emiline (the cleaning lady) is touching everything via the hem of her skirt. I totally get it, but man, it makes me feel rather leper-ish. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PINK EYE started from one of the cleaning ladies kids...

Nico last night said, "Mom your eye yucky."

And then later when I was snuggling with Nia she said, "Mom, you are so pretty."
And I said, "Yeah, but this pink eye sure makes me look ugly."
And then she said, "I don't think so Mom, you're beautiful even with pink eyes."

THIS, my friends, is the difference between girls and boys in a nutshell.

I promise I will post more pics later-- or tomorrow depending on the internet speed-- of something OTHER than pink eye.

By the way, I am a little peeved that Josiah breaks out in more unplanned Creole than I do. WHAT THE HECK???

Oh and if you're thinking if I look a little scumbaggy, like I haven't showered in a few days-- you are right.
