Help Me! I can't see!!

Thursday I took my daughter to get her eyes checked. It really needed to be done before school started but I ran out of time. She was hit in PE this week and bend her glasses so I figured it was time. I also figured that it was time for me to get mine checked too since I've been having some trouble with my contacts.

So there I was sitting in the doctor's chair with the big contraption on my face and the doctor flipping lenses saying, "one or two", "one or two". Ummmmm, neither? Everything was blurry! Aaauuuggghh! I'm going more blind than I already was! So the doctor removes one contraption and uses another and then proceeds to say, "Ohhhhhh" as she looks in my eye. Turns out I have a bad infection in my right eye. Let's look in the other eye. "Ohhhhh". Turns out I have a bad infection in my left eye. No wonder I haven't been able to see very well. She went through all the symptoms that I "must" have been having with the infection but I have had NONE. I just couldn't see very well.

So now I have to throw away my contacts (that I just replaced a few days ago), my cases, my solution, my makeup and have to put drops in my eyes for the next week (oh yes, and the TINY bottle of drops cost $77 WITH insurance!) But the worst part of the whole thing is that I have to wear my glasses for the next two weeks. Aauuugghh! So please don't laugh when you see me in my 5 year old glasses.

Sickness and Cemeteries

Hey, I bet my day was more exciting than yours. First I had to take a sick boy home from school then we went and wandered around a cemetery for about an hour looking for a headstone of someone I don't know for someone I don't know. I really didn't mind doing it but I just started thinking while we were there that most normal mothers don't take their children to cemeteries for afternoon field trips! Oh well.

As I was downloading the pictures tonight I stumbled across this one from a while back. I'm so proud.

What the Olympics SHOULD be

I'm sad tonight since my parents are leaving tomorrow for home so I needed something to cheer me up and I found this on the internet. He has more routines but I think the bars are the best followed by the beam. Enjoy a chuckle or two.
