Jury Duty, Glasses & Grammar

Well, wouldn't you know it, my group has to show up for jury duty tomorrow. I think I will make an appeal to the Judge to be excused this week since Patty's out of town and can't help with Alli. Luckily, I was able to get Alli into Mother's Day Out tomorrow even though she doesn't normally go on Wednesday so that will be a great help. Becky could watch her but I hate to do that to her since her days are already full since she's hanging out with her dad during the afternoons. Michael has been spending the nights out there in until his mom comes back from her cruise around New England and Canada with her sister. Doesn't that sound like fun? I'm so glad they chose to take a cruise up north instead of around the Bahamas, etc., that would have been bad. Talk about seasickness.

Oh yeah, I went to the eye doctor today and the inevitable happened. I'm in glasses again! For those of you who don't know, I had lasik in the year 2000 or so (prior to children) and have enjoyed being glasses free for a good 8 years. I knew I was starting to squint while watching TV so I figured it was coming. The good news is that I can still so up close very well so no bifocals yet. Hopefully I'll look as stylish and Sarah Palin though my frames were about the half the cost of her designer frames. Michael has managed to be glasses free since his surgery and his eyes were twice as bad as mine which is pretty amazing. I think having children since the surgery may have something to do with it, but who knows really.

On a side note, to make my mother happy I am going to change my grammatical errors in the posts when I talk about "me and the girls." I will correctly change it to "the girls and I." My mother said with my education I should not write in that manner even if I'm trying to keep it casual. I'm just trying to make her happy. Ain't that right, ya'll?
