Day 159 - 206 Days to Go

Well today was a little more productive than yesterday, but not by much. Helped Bill change the oil in the truck this morning. Ok, how come someone can be so intellectually smart, but not even close on some common sense things. First of all, he's under the truck taking off the oil filter. Never mind worry about oil dripping in your eyes, there is everything else that is on the bottom of the truck. So something drops in his eye, which he thinks is just probably salt from the road (just salt - nothing serious!!!!!!!) Still doesn't put the goggles on, but finishes up, puts everything away. Comes in the house and tries to rectify the situation. I'm in the kitchen cleaning up when I get a call for help in the bathroom. Bill wants me to look and see if I can find anything in his eye. I put in some drops, and he says he already tried that. What do I see sitting on the bathroom counter - canned air!!!! Now I know where Patrick gets his lack of common sense from!!!! He actually tried to use the air before I got there. So I'm thinking whatever is in there is probably gone now, but his eyeball is burned or scarred. So I put some more drops in and tell him to keep his eye shut. He can't he says. So he takes some white tape and decides he's going to tape his eye shut. I suggest a cotton pad or something over the eye.... Why he asks? K, now I using words like dingleballs. So I grab the scissors (because his teeth don't seem to be working) I cut a couple of pieces of tape, some gauze and proceed to bandage up his eye. By now, I'm shaking my head in disbelief. I cut the tape extra long and put it in the shape of a big X across his eye (from his nose to ear) He still doesn't think that will help. So I grab one of the eye masks from the drawer (mostly from air travel) I put it on his eye so his right eye can still see. OMG, it was the funniest thing ever. I made I got a picture just in case nobody believes me. So about half hour later, he decides it feels better. Of course the tape in hurting just a little and I remind him how much more it would have hurt if he had put the tape directly on his eye lid. It would appear that the drops and tears seemed to have flushed out whatever was in there. Moral of the story...doesn't really matter what the moral of this lesson is, as long as there is canned air in the house, I have to worry about the kids and Bill.
