My Eye Doctors
On Wednesday I had my follow-up visit with the eye doctor. I was assured that it would only take 10-15 minutes max and that I could certainly bring my girls with me.
Right.
So I packed up my two-year-old, my seven-month-old, the Legos, the scarf that S loves, the markers that only color on the special coloring book, the coloring book that said markers color on, a few more things for S to put in her mouth, S's blanket, my contacts, and me. We arrived and plopped down in the waiting area. About two minutes later, or just enough time for the girls to unpack everything, the nice girl calls us back. We go to the back waiting room and she watches us unpack all our stuff on the floor and then asks me two questions. Then asks us to move into the exam room. Really? You couldn't have asked me those two questions in there?
So we pick up everything and move into the exam room. The girl smiles and asks me, "How old is your baby?" I tell her 7 months and she smiles shyly. She tells me she just found out she and her husband are going to have a baby. Like yesterday found out. Oh, I see legos and potties and slobbery kisses in your future. Its quite a ride.
The eye doctor comes in and says, "So did the contacts not work for you?"
What gave it away? The fact I was wearing my glasses?
"What was the main problem?" he inquired.
"They made me want to rip my eyes out."
So now I'm trying a pair of contacts that are comfortable yet not my right prescription. And this week I'll pick up other ones that are my right prescription but perhaps not as comfortable. I'm very tempted to just get a new pair of glasses for crying out loud.
(Did I mention that we were in there an hour? And- can I brag a bit?- the girls were wonderful. Like much better than they are at home. I'm thinking of becoming a stay-at-the-eye-doctor's-mom.)
And the next morning when I was putting my contacts in, Kiran said, "Mommy you have your eye doctors in your eyes?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This afternoon we kept checking outside to see if the rain had turned to snow. Once it finally did, Kiran disappeared for a few quiet minutes. When she returned, she announced she was ready to go out in the snow!
By our last official check (which is taking the ruler out to measure the snow on the deck rails), we have 4.25 inches and its still coming down hard! Snow day tomorrow. Which of course is the same as every other day... just with snow.
Right.

Winter Storm Watch
In honor of the Winter Storm Watch that we are under, I thought I would *finally* post a few pictures from our last winter storm. Greenville People- remember when it snowed last month? What? Huh? Oh that's right...it didn't snow there. Hum. Maybe you'll get some of the 3-6 inches this time around.
I found this adorable Lands End snow suit for $5!! at a consignment shop around town. I'm so happy she got to wear it. I hope it still fits...
I really hope he wasn't throwing that at our two year old. Or our baby.
