I’m blind!

Thursday, March 4th, 2004

Well, sorta, anyhow. I broke my glasses today. I have been meaning to get new ones anyhow, but they can be mighty expensive (to the tune of $400). But, they’re broken, so I’m partially blind and headachy now. My vision sucks without my glasses. I was bit by a dog when I was young and so I have 20/200 in that eye and 20/100 in the other. Yep, coke bottle lenses! Anyhow, I’m sitting here straining my eyes to type and I should probably head to bed instead. I am going to see if it would be possible to pull off and appt with my eye doc tomorrow instead of Monday. I thought I could wait til Monday, but being blind for the weekend doesn’t sound like much fun.

Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.

Woot! Did y’all know that Tuesday, March 2nd, Dr. Seuss would’ve been 100 years old? I adore Dr. Seuss! Sam’s school participated in the celebration by reading with the local fire department. It was all part of Read Across America. Why we limit it to only America, I’m not totally sure. I bet Dr. Seuss would’ve rathered it have been called Read Across the World since he loved all children everywhere.

When I was teaching Sam how to read, one of his favorite books was The Cat in the Hat. He could say it with me as we were reading it at bedtime. There is nothing quite like watching a child giggle and laugh about something silly in a Dr. Seuss book. Ironically, I have never read to him Green Eggs and Ham. Not because of the whole Sam-I-Am business, but just because I never made it a point to get the book. Everyone always asks me if he’s read it yet, lol.
