No Memory Monday today.
School is out and the grandparents are busy! Today we had children arrive at 6:50 a.m., ready for breakfast.
The six year old had tennis camp at 9 am and we had to leave early because the major street in my town is under construction this summer. We were also lending rackets to some cousins.
We then went to the eye doctor to pick up my new glasses. Unfortunately I can barely see close up. My readers from Dollar Tree are better. They told me I will need to retrain my eyes and that I need to wear them every day for a week.
Side note: I deeply regret cataract surgery.
By then it was time to pick up the six year old at tennis camp and drop off the ten year old. We all went grocery shopping, brought groceries home and went back to pick her up.
Today is the Burger King's birthday and we went there for lunch. A few weeks ago a gentleman in a big pickup hit the gas instead of the brake and drove through one wall. It is braced but not repaired yet.
We came home and grampa put them to work setting up the fairy garden while I went to my church meeting.
I came home and quickly made some hot dogs and macaroni and cheese for the ten year old so she could eat before her softball game. Step dad picked her up.
I am now feeding the six year old the same thing before his little league game. Mom had a mandatory teacher day (and again tomorrow and Wednesday) and has a teacher retirement party this evening. We will take him to warm up soon and hopefully mom will meet us before the end of the game.
Tomorrow we add the ten year old's basketball camp in the afternoon.
Then we need to go walk our two miles since we missed yesterday.
Whew!
AND my daughter called last night and volunteered me to be the assistant 3 year old Vacation Bible School teacher at her church. She is the teacher and told them she knows I will say yes. That is in two weeks.
Your kids sure manage to keep the Merry grandparents busy! I wish we understood your cataract surgery a little better. I wasn't aware you had an option?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the cataract surgery.
ReplyDeleteSchool here goes through this week. You have been plunged right into it!
LOL on your daughter and VBS. She does know you well. :)
I honestly don’t know how you do it all. Do you think maybe NO should be part of your vocabulary? You need to make sure that you are taking care of yourself too my friend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and love,
Betsy
Hmmm, did you have the surgery with implants or was the glasses with the prisms? I know what you are saying. Your brain does have to retrain itself to see through those glasses if I recall properly. I was offered those glasses many years ago and didn't do it for whatever reason.
ReplyDeleteGosh.
You can have them replace the lenses in your eyes with clear lenses and you can go back to the way you were before...but $$$$$. Gosh. Darnitall.
I am so sorry that you regret your cataract surgery. I love that I can see far away but use readers for close up:) My husband likes his new eyes too...and he rarely uses readers.
ReplyDeleteYikes. Can't you get out of teaching bible school this summer? You've been pretty swamped and pretty stressed with the medical stuff and eyes. Please take care of you. We want you around for a long time.
ReplyDeleteMiss M, I too think you don't have "No" in your vocabulary... but maybe that works for you. But I think you might have to cut back on child care a bit to take care of yourself. As for the cataract surgery regret... my option was the opposite since I read a lot, so, see fine close up (more or less) but not as good far away. It took a little getting used to and I also got progressive lens and wear these glasses daily.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time I've read this post, and I've been in tears twice---I'm SO sorry that your surgery was not as successful as you hoped. I'm SO sorry that happened to you,. and hope that a little Time and those glasses will be a marvelous improvement.
ReplyDeleteKay of Musings: I’m so amazed at all you do with your family. And I’m so sorry that cataract surgery did not turn out as you hoped. That’s a worry since my husband will be due for one soon.
