A Personal Day....

Yesterday, I got to take a mommy "personal day". My wonderful awesome unbelievable mom kept and schooled the children yesterday so I could do some errands. I'm not gonna lie, it was delightful. Delightful in that I didn't have to be in a hurry, there was no real timetable, I got to pick what I wanted to eat for lunch, and the best part-I knew they would all be home at the end of the day and I could get all the hugs and kisses I wanted. Well, from two of them anyway. Two of my children don't like hugs and kisses so I try not to push it. I save it for mommy-desperate hug times.

I am happy to report that I went to downtown Birmingham all by myself yesterday and DID NOT get lost-not even one time. I went straight to the hospital and was able to come straight by to my town. Even though two roads were closed due to construction. I felt so grown-up.

I saw little Jonathon and it was all I could do not to just scoop him up out of the bed and give him some rocking. He is still hurting pretty badly and it was hurting me to see him like that and his momma having to watch him like that. We are praying today is going to be a much better day.

I did get my hair cut. I decided at the last minute to go for a trim and not an actual cut, but I really like it. I also decided against feathers and beads. Not that I even really considered it, but I did think about getting some feathers from the dollar store and seeing what Mark would say.

And ya'll, yesterday I did one of those things you think of little old gray ladies doing.

I purchased some reading glasses. I am wearing them right now. The look on my kiddos faces yesterday was priceless when they came home. They didn't know whether to laugh or compliment.

I have been noticing for about 6 months now I couldn't see my Bible print and then I would notice I was having to get my books at just the "right distance" to be able to read. So, here I am. I am not sure what will be next. Menthol ointments and heating pads? Oh, wait, I already do that. Hmmmm...

I like the glasses though. For one, I can see the computer screen without squinting. Two, I am sure they are going to add a look of maturity and wisdom as I march into Bible study Thursday with all four kiddos and all our paraphernalia trailing along with us. Or, they just might say, "Wow, she is really old to still have a four year old...."

I did not buy a cute little chain to hold my glasses around my neck necklace style. But I can already tell that is going to be a problem. I read all day long. On and off, on and off. The potential for these glasses getting lost is huge.

Wow, I can't believe I devoted a whole post to reading glasses and you probably can't either. So, what do you, my sweet internet friends, have to say? Necklace for the glasses, or not?
