Last night, while buckling Alyssa into her carseat, she refused to take her hand out of her coat pocket. When I forcibly removed her hand, I found a pack of gum shoved inside her pocket. I was mortified. She had been twirling around my legs and candy display while I was paying for some purchases, and I kept a hold of her and a close eye on her, but she somehow managed to grab it and conceal it. Anyway, I remember doing the same thing when I was four or five. My mom marched me back into the store, made me return it and apologize to the clerk. Ditto for Alyssa.
My vision keeps blurring every little bit. Is this a getting-adjusted-to-contacts thing? Or is it the prescription? When I was out driving yesterday afternoon, I noticed that a lot of road signs weren’t as in focus as they had been before. Again, is this a getting-adjusted-to-contacts thing? Or is it the prescription? The eye doctor told me my prescription had changed “slightly”, but she didn’t say if it was for better or for worse. I’m calling tomorrow to schedule my one week follow up, and I think I’m going to bring up the blur/out of focus issue, and request another eye exam, just to make sure that I do have the right prescription.
We had vegetable stir fry tonight. Since Ryan isn’t crazy about the sauce, I made him a bit of spaghetti. Ugh. Spaghetti. What is it with kids and spaghetti? Whenever we have spaghetti, either Dan or myself prepare a bath towards the end of the meal, so we can pull the clothes off the kids and whisk them off to get washed up as soon as they’re done eating. Yes, the mess from spaghetti is THAT bad. The sauce gets everywhere, and it just isn’t worth spending fifteen minutes washing spaghetti sauce off of body parts, out of ears and hair, when a ten minute bath will accomplish the same thing.
Lastly, oh, the things one can become enlightened about by the internet. I saw a term being tossed around, didn’t know what it was, and googled it. Ever hear of feederism? A couple of web groups I saw focused on people who wanted to keep eating and eating and eating until they hit goals of 400 lbs., 500 lbs., 600 lbs., even 700 lbs. One person said they idolized the people they see in stores that are so heavy that motorized wheelchairs are straining to carry them along.
Wow, just wow. Now, this may be a slight pot/kettle moment… but then again, maybe not. Yes, I am overweight, yes, I am obese… but I am looking to LOSE, not gain! Why would these people willingly impose sure death sentences upon themselves and others (the “feeders” who are looking to feed others)? It’s mind boggling. But, I suppose to each their own. 
And it is their bodies, after all.
It sounds like it’s your prescription. I never had an adjustment time period for my contacts. Also, make sure you don’t have them in the wrong eye. You could also have an astigmatism, and if the doctor didn’t notice that (s)he wouldn’t give you contacts based on that, and often the affected eye needs a drastically different prescription than the other. You might want to go back to the eye doctor.
It sounds like the prescription. When I first put my contacts in for the first time, everything was perfectly clear. I actually see better with my contacts on then with my glasses. So that shouldn’t be happening for you!
When I was younger, my little brother made such a mess with spaghetti my mother just stopped buying it. Whenever we wanted her tomato sauce (she makes REALLY good sauce, so we were always asking for pasta for dinner!), she’d remember to penne or bowtie or something else. When you make spaghetti, you’re just begging for stringy pasta all over the floor, table, and your child’s face.
And yes, I’ve heard of feederism. It’s quite sad that people actually WANT to make themselves unhealthy like that.
Just a thought: maybe your contacts are backwards? Try switching the eyes that you normally put your contacts in. If your prescriptions are different for each eye, something may have gotten messed up.
when Charlie got his new set of contacts 2 months ago, his prescription also changed slightly. When he put in his contacts, he was having the same blurry vision issue. I told him to switch his contacts, left eye in right, right eye in left, since his eyes are slightly different, and his vision was perfect after that.
I might try swapping them. They’re marked with a tiny R and L, but it’s always possible the doctor wrote down the numbers in the wrong boxes, right?
You’re right. Spaghetti is messy. I was always getting sauce on my face when I was younger. Sometimes I still do and I am turning 19 very soon.
Oh, I love spaghetti! My mom used to tell us that if we kept our placemats and everything else sauce-free that we would get a cupcake for dessert… That certainly helped with eliminating the messes!
LOL, I still can’t eat spaghetti without making a mess, so there’s that.
As for the contacts, I would try doing the switch eyes and if that doesn’t help, tell the eye doctor.
lol I think all kids have done that. You really gotta worry when she’s older ^^

I would try adding some of the eye drops or eye cleaner to it, you’re eye may be a little dry(not so dry that you don’t notice it–evidently) just a little dry. Your eye have to get use to producing more than enough fluid for your eyes and the contact.
Hahaha I’m sorry, but seeing a child shoplift candy is funny. I would have laughed (inside) and still taken my kid back inside to return it, but I would have sat him on the couch or in a corner when we got home. And then laughed some more where he couldn’t hear me.
haha, I did the same thing when I was 5. I swiped a chocolate orange and a doll. My father was PISSED, and took me back to the store to return it. My mother sobbed uncontrollably. o_o
Wow, its been so long since I have been here! U have been a busy girl! Yes, def check to see if your contacts are in backwards because when I had them, the nurse put them in backwards the first time i wore them and everything was burry and out of focus.
Yeah for the new camera! I cant wait to see pictures from it.
