Snot, Interrupted

Tim and his mom have this horrible habit of interrupting Abby, and now Nora, when they are talking. It mostly happens in the car for some reason. It has to have something to do with the Sirius Kids Stuff that we have all learned to tune out.
I find it really irritating that my mother in law does this so I have now started ignoring her to listen to Abby. I need to find a tactful way to tell her that I would rather pay attention to my kid than to her most times, and that maybe she should pay some attention to her also.
Whatever.
The girls and I spent the day with my Tim's mom, and while the premise was annoying, my MIL didn't want to make me poke my eyes out as she usually does. She had bought Abby a bunch of stuff form Gymboree, which is pretty hit or miss. For the most part she does ok, but then again, it is getting pretty old that just about everything my girls wear comes from the same place. Whatever.
There was a bunch of stuff that I was going to return, but since she was with me I couldn't, which sucks because then I have to back again to get rid of some of the stuff that is seriously heinous.
While we were out Nora, who started the day with crust on her nose, got more and more lethargic and more and more crusty. She had some kid goo coming out of her nose, and her cheek was all swollen and red, so I thought it was just her 2 year molars combined with a little cold (you know, the one I gave to Amanda and Clementine who then gave it back to us) but then her eye started oozing some yellowy gunk.
By the time we got home, the eye stuff had gotten remarkably worse.
Exhibit A:

Seriously, have you ever seen something so yucky? So I called the pediatrician's office who said she should be seen before they closed today. Can I tell you how much that fucked up my mojo? No, because my mojo is too fucked.
So we are the proud owners of an ear infection (red cheek, low grade fever, lethargy), a sinus infection (goop coming out of her nose and eye), an eye infection (caused by the sinus infection), and possibly fleas (a parting gift from Floyd- my MIL got a bit tonight, I am hoping a load of laundry will fix that, keep your fingers off for me).
Are you jealous?

Oh no! Poor Nora! That eye goop must have felt pretty miserable for her.

We've had some fever and coughing around here that Eleanor and the daycare kids all seem to pass around in a continuous loop. No fun.
