Four-Eyes

I got glasses when I was 3, and hated them every day since. Of course I got called "four-eyes" and thought I was so ugly (no self esteem). I even asked my mom,

"Do you love me?"
She said, "Yes, of course I do!"
I said, "You HAVE to say that 'cause you're my mom! I know I'm ugly!" (Yeah, sad and dramatic).

I willed myself to not need my glasses in 7th grade, it was a true miracle for me! I guess you can do that when you're far sighted (and desperate!), and did not wear them again for a LONG time - only for reading when absolutely necessary!. I started to get lots of headaches so I finally got contacts after my mission.

I only had an old pair of glasses from 1980 that I used for reading or when I had no contacts. My kids laughed whenever I wore them! My whole family laughed at me when I wore them! I will post a picture because they really ARE hideous! Huge, coke bottle, bug-eye, glasses! This summer, after wearing my 1 month contacts for 5 months I thought, what if I try a new pair of glasses??? $350 dollars later I have updated my glasses! (I thought it would be cheaper than contacts but not so with my huge prescription!)

So ta-da here are my new eyes...

First time in my life I have not HATED my glasses!

SAHD

Since blogger is not letting me add new quotes I am doing this QUOTE as a post. :) I don't know if things are funnier when you're stressed but it sure seems like it!

Tom and Sally- So I have been teasing Tom about being a great SAHD (stay-at-home-dad), he does the laundry, cooks, cleans, and when I come home he is still in his pj's!! I love that he totally understands me! So...a few days ago I come home and he is in "civilian clothes" (aka NOT pj's) and I praise him for that. He says, "Yeah, I've been dressed for most of the day!" We laughed hysterically while I teased him..."Glad you weren't naked for most of the day!"

Guess you had to be there...

Church-Couples Dinner-You asked for it!

Quotables

Sydney- "Mom, why do you like the computer more than us?" (me *gasping*)

Zack- He was pushing on the tip of his nose and said, "This is 'cart-lidge'." I said, "What?" He said, "You know like sharks are made of 'cart-lidge' " I love how he said the word, he's into sharks right now.

Zack- "I can't stop saying words in my head." (me- "what kind of words?") "Like the word man." (Oooo kaaaayyyy.)

Sydney- "Mom, why do we have to drive a van? It embarrasses me!"

Summer and Sal- "It's time for bed Summer." "No it's not"..."Yes. It is." "Fine then I'll never brush my teeth again!"

Ever feel...

I love this picture of my cute nephew, Bodhi. Look at all the ducks chasing him! Good thing he is smiling! I think this belongs in a magazine!

Ever feel like this? Like you have tons of things chasing you...wanting something from you??

Can you come up with a creative caption for this picture?
