what a day

eye doctor appointments and ordering glasses

Boy there is a lot more involved when you go from single vision to the bifocals
WOW
I thought I was going to have to instill a payment plan

glasses are not cheap

and we got them at BJ's You know the doctor told me not to go to a discount place like BJs and gave me a few names of places to go
WOW I never really think of myself as poor but people really pay THAT for glasses?
i really have sticker shock I mean it is three times what I usually pay!

Red sox news Manny is gone can't believe it, you know my daughter Loves the games but she is always saying "go Manny" no matter who is up That is going to be awkward Huh?
a lot of people around here are glad he is gone, but I will miss him I really like him. I don't really understand the trade either, I used to study baseball and I would have known why it was a good trade, but i am out of practice, I don't even know who this other guy is we are getting...yes I am the same one who memorized all the stats of all the players in both leagues...yeah then I got a life, now I am lucky If I remember the pick up times for all my kids schools ROFL kidding of course I'm not that bad yet :) but I do have trouble remembering the redsox schedule


Tomorrow the plan is to go on a mini vacation to RI

the weather is calling for rain
DH is thinking of canceling

so maybe I will get my composter put together

that would be awesome!

off to the redsox blogs to figure out this trade thingy

If I don't "see" you, have a nice weekend!

pardan me for a moment..I need to whine a tad

So I have been looking forward to the eye doctors appointment

why?

because I have been having major issues seeing things, and I need bifocals
I admit it I am old give me the bifocals so I can read the instructions on the medicine bottles

right?

only problem the eye trouble I am having is nto the result of far sightedness

bifocals wont cure the problem

the problem is tha I have cataracts

mild early cataract far too small to warrant surgery

*cry* I feel like I can't see a thing and the dr said it will only get worse until it's bad enough for surgery.


this explains my photographing problems
the fact that I can never get the diopter right

I just want to cry and than God I didn't go along with Dh and start the photographers business LOL

Ok only good news form here on out


The eye issues could be worse, but I can still see

Messy is doing well on the meds so far



and we are going away for the weekend To RI

Today we attempted to go back to school clothes shopping

ROFL
what a joke
but a funny from the trip to the mall;

Messy went up to the rack and picked out a skirt that was her size (coincidence?)

Mommy I really like this dress, but it's 100 dollars so we are NOT going to get it.

hey it's not from a TV show, she hears me say this all the time ROFL

the skirt was 4.99 and we got it.

we saw a coyote in out yard

and this time it wasn't just me seeing it and no one believing me
it was DH who saw it

it didn't stick around long enough for me to get a shot of it
he was eating something but we are not sure what
those things are bigger than you think

Thank you Nicole for your advice I'm so glad I got it so I can be prepared the dr mentioned only the threat of a rash and other "minor side effects"
today was day 1 I will let you know.

thanks

a plan of attack

we will start her on Lamictal
we have a whole list of rules start her on very low dose and raise the dose slowly over 4 weeks
then we keep giving it to her for 8 months and have her evaluated.

we ended up walking around the city and finding a rose garden it was fantastic
I can't wait to get a look a the pictures we took :)
Tomorrow we start he medication.

Today we go to the epilepsy clinic

not worried
though I know this doctor made a big deal about her not having Autism
frankly I think he just so wanted it to be LKS and I am curious as to what he is going to say now that they have ruled that out. Two of the Drs are disagreeing this one we are seeing today, thinks she should be on Depakote for her seizures and the other one said she doesn't need it. we agreed with the one who doesn't think she needs it, since one of the side effects of that medication is thrombocytopenia...which means a low platelet count, which we just got over KWIM?

So it's going to be interesting
Dh is going to go with us, actually the whole family is going and Dh will sit with the others while I go in with Messy
then i think we might make our way to the public gardens

TV TV the evil TV

My mom used to say
"how to tell the difference between a good plant and a weed...you give it a good tug, if it comes up easily, it was a plant you wanted...if it is hard to pull out...it's a weed.

it's true you know

Ok so I need to give up some things
I have been slowly cutting out tv shows
I've cut out one show at a time and I've done ok until now
what show should I eliminate next?
I'm not watching much anymore
====
Daily show
Colbert report
desperate landscapes
countdown
local morning news
redsox baseball
the D list

I tivo the view but I almost never even watch it
obviously I've come upon the weeds HUH/
