I see you......maybe not

I've been saving my pennies for lasik eye surgery. And with some generous gifts for my birthday and Christmas my goal was getting more attainable. So I set up an appointment to see if A: My eyes qualify and B: how much.

Yesterday was the big day. The good news. Horray I qualify!!!! I have optimal cornea thickness. The bad news. It costs $5300!!! With Russell's work discount it's only (sarcastic) $4300. My pennies haven't added up to quite that much.

I think I'll try a different surgen. My sister got her eyes done for $3000, so I know there must be cheaper places. But I don't want to be too cheap, because these are my eyes and my vision's future we're talking about here folks!

So for now it's back to contacts/glasses and looking for pennies in the parking lots.

I LOVE the picture. No way can you cover up those pretty blues with glasses. Lasik is the way to go all the way. Good luck!!

Ouch! Wyatt had his eyes done for $1,000 almost 8 years ago. We thought that was expensive.

Sleep? Oh, Sleep! Where are you?

Once I realized that I was going to have snore free nights, I was overjoyed! What I didn't count on though was my children. On Sunday Night (Mon. morning) all three of them decided that 4 AM would be a great time to wake up. Monday night, Hunter snuck into our bed for half the night until I took him back to his bed. The other half of the night Cannon was up every two hours until I let him sleep with us. Audrey actually stayed in her bed and only cried once. This brings me to last night. 11:00 PM I turn out the lights and go to bed, thinking to myself that Cannon will probably be up in an hour. 12:00 AM Cannon wakes up. I feed him. 1:00 AM I wake up, slumped over with Cannon still in my arms to Audrey screaming. I quickly put Cannon back in his bed and go see Audrey. She is standing up with her blanket and sippy, has already said "good bye" to binky and is ready to get out of bed. I bring her back to bed with me. 2:00 AM Fight with Audrey about the covers (she...
