Mothers Who Know

Glasses

I made a mistake this morning. I slept in. My husband slept in a little later than usual, and all the kids were still sleeping when he got out of the shower. So thinking I had a golden opportunity - I siezed it, and went back to sleep. Needless to say, within seconds of him walking out the door, they were all up. Which normally isn't a big deal, as I do have quite a few older kids to watch the littles while I shower.

Today though, I made the mistake of allowing the three year old to stay in my room while I showered. I also made the mistake of leaving my eyeglasses sitting on my bureau. Normally, she just tries them on and/or brings them to me. Not today!!! I was greeted by her holding the glasses in one hand, and the lenses in the other hand, and her shrugging her shoulders repeating over and over "I sorry, I sorry". They look like they were run over!!

We had a dentist appt. at 11:20, which we had to leave for at 10:40. It was now 8:38. By the time I got dressed, and got everyone else dressed, and breakfast and chores were done it was closer to 9:30. We drove over to the eyeglass place, and fortuneately they could make me a new pair, which I picked up after the dentist appt. - which was forty five minutes in the opposite direction. So much for my nice relaxing morning I had planned. Ever have a day like that?

On the silver lining side - at least it happened on a day I had the extra time to spend running to the eye doctors. Plus, my glasses had been needing to be replaced anyway (lost nose pad things), as they were always slipping off my face, and were scratched, and I just hadnt gotten to it - now I have!! Plus, Ashes, the second daughter, got her teeth fixed - we have tried to do it a few other times, and she was too scared to let them touch her once they stuck her with the needle. So today, my husband met us on lunch and went in with her, while I stayed in the waiting room with all the rest of the kids, and that did the trick - so she was finally able to have her cavities fixed.
