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!
