My my my Mary...

She will be trouble someday!!!  This was the conversation that occurred at breakfast the other day.  I did not witness it, because I was resting my eyes (see previous post on blindness), but Kevin swears he told it to me word for word. 

Mary:  Daddy, you need to listen to me.

Kevin:  I will always listen to what you have to say, but you also have to listen to Daddy. 

Mary: Daddy, you NEED to listen to ME.

Kevin:  Mary, I will always listen to what you have to say, but Daddy and Mommy are the bosses, and you have to listen to us and do what we say. 

Mary:  I can tell you are going to be a problem for me.



Really?!?!?!?  She is about to be 3 at the end of this month!  Where does she get this???

Gripefest and blindness

I really have a bunch of stuff I wanted to blog about, all the way back from labor day, but whenever I think my life is going to calm down, something stirs it back up!  The most recent stir was created by the quick temporary exit of a teacher, and the just as quick replacement of her, with me!  I won't get into details, but I did threaten to quit my job so that I could live in Las Vegas and be a professional gambler... Did I mention the first two weeks of my new gig, my kids both had the tummy bug and one had an ear infection.  Writing sub plans for a sub when you are the sub gets complicated!!!

Anyway, I am about to be finished with my "temporary" English teaching assignment.  But to complicate things even further, I broke my glasses.  My prescription was out of date.  My vision insurance basically sucks.  LASIKs is something that has been on my mind for a while.  I did some research, went in for an eye exam to find out about it and/or get a new prescription and new glasses.  Long story short.  I had epi-Lasik eye surgery last Friday!  So not only has teaching been challenging, just reading has been challenging.  Fortunately the procedure went great, and I no longer have to wear glasses.  This is good, because I feel muh cuter without them :)
