A New Outlook
It was frustrating. My eyesight kept getting worse and worse. Would you believe, I was using "readers" over my bifocals in order to enjoy reading?!
All that has changed since I had cataract surgery. I am now the owner of two IOL's (intra-ocular lenses).... multi-focal ones, even. What a difference this had made in my life!
When I wake up in the middle of the night, I can see the clock on the dresser. Heck, I can even see the dresser. At work I'm tempted to show off a little bit, reading the tiniest print on the tiniest vials (did you know that some medications are actually made in the USA?). One of the first places I really appreciated my new-found visual prowess was in the shower; no more squinting to tell which bottle contains the shampoo. Wow! Good-bye glasses. I won't miss you a bit.
Now, excuse me while I go put shower cleaner on my shopping list.

Ha Ha, Fooled You
Madison was visiting me this morning and started singing, "Ha, ha, fooled you! I'm so mean."
She said she learned it from Mommy and Daddy.
I couldn't wait to hear about this from KB, who laughed and said, "It's not quite right, Madison."
Here's the song (Reiley brought it home from Kindergarten):
"Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
Ha, ha, fooled you!
I'm a submarine."

In the Eye of the Beholder
Recently I was ironing some of my uniforms when Karina stopped by with the girls. Kate (age 2) saw what I was doing and asked, "What's that?". I told her it was one of the scrub tops I had made to wear to work. "It's ugly", was her reply. I guess in her mind there are three colors: pink, purple, and ugly.

A New Start?
I really need to dust off this blog. I agree with my buddy over at That's Life!
FaceBook gives you a snippet from many people's lives, and is a quick way to catch up "on the run". But I do miss the good old blogging days, when I actually had time to collect my thoughts and arrange them with some semblance of order. I'm not saying I've magically discovered large slots of free time; my life has drastically changed in the past three years. I'm just saying I'd like to occasionally get back to some real writing. No promises, but let's see where this leads...
