Ugh! Where to start...I went back to the eye dr. on Friday, and got in a little trouble for having my contacts in but I was sick of the "sick-headaches". He prescribed a new eye drop for me, and I did some checking online before I used it and get this! the stupid stuff has all sorts of side effects, mostly the same exact things I've been dealing with, but you're not supposed to stop using it if you have the effects! call me crazy, but I thought if you had effects from meds you were supposed to ditch em..to top that off, like that ain't enough..you have to hold your eye a certain way and then make sure the drop doesn't get into the tear duct, (I reckon it can cause damage of some sort) and you must apply pressure to the inside corner of the eye for over 1 minute to try to prevent contact with the tear duct...maybe I'm crazy, but I'm not using the stuff! I told my mom, I don't use stuff that's supposed to help so why would I be stupid enough to use stuff that might hurt! Greg is convinced he just wants to keep me coming back, I'm starting to agree with him because we had to pay another co-pay on Friday and when we go for a follow-up we are covered 100%, and I wasn't in the mood to argue with them, I had to visit the friendly dmv and renew my poor expired license so arguing was the last thing on my mind lol I was afraid I would have to re-take the driver's test and I knew I would never be able to pass it.

There isn't much new to tell here, just the usual stuff that we all do everyday as a mom. I have been working on a new lay-out for the blog tho, but want to wait just a bit longer to put it up, basically it will be my summer lay-out unless I get bored with it too fast lol

I got a gift from Darylynn the other day, thank you so very much sweetie!!! (if you didn't get my email PLEASE let me know so I can resend it) thanks bushels!

I'm off to start another new book, I picked up some new ones on Saturday and spent all day/night Sunday reading until I finished one of them lol maybe I'll get lucky tho and be able to take a small nap before Greg comes home from work in a few hours.

Hi Aretha, sorry to hear about the eye. :( I hope it clears up for you soon. Have a great week. Hugs!

So glad to see your post. Sorry the eyes are still a problem. Are you using an antibiotic drop that just doesn't appear to be working? I remember once my sister got an ear infection that really got bad after she started some medication for it. Turned out she was allergic to the medication. Sure hope it clears up soon.

Good Morning Aretha! Oh, your poor eyes! This has really gone on a long time! Dr's! Sometimes medicine they give you is worse than what you are taking it for! Ugh! Have a great day sweetie! Hugs!
