My Kids' Eyeballs Don't Work Right
A month ago the school nurse stopped me in the hall to tell me she had given flapjack an eye exam at the request of his teacher. He flunked...badly. Had I noticed anything? Uh, no, apparently I had not. So off to the eye doctor we went. Sure enough...nearsighted...needs glasses.
Today, the school nurse stops me in the hall to tell me she gave DQ an eye exam...she flunked...even worse than flapjack. Had I noticed? Uh, yeah, this time I had...she's been to the eye doctor (Okay, not recently) and everytime he says, "Yep, at some point she'll need glasses. But not yet." Guess now's the time. So back to the eye doctor we go. Course, it can't be the SAME eye doctor. That would make life too simple. Flapjack has to go where they accept his insurance and his medicaid (compliments of the fostercare system) and DQ has been seeing an eye doctor since she was little due to other problems. DQ's eye doctor does not accept medicaid. Flapjack's eye doctor creeps me out. He talks to himself...a lot. It's icky...really. Didn't seem to bother flapjack...he was too fascinated with the equipment. Next time...his dad will be taking him.
Flapjack picked out very cool "little rectangle glasses"...of course they still aren't in...cause...the machine broke...or something. DQ wants contacts. LOL! Not happening. Hope they have some really cute glasses or we're screwed.

About Me
I'm a wife, a mom, an educator and a normal (okay, relative term here) person who makes frequent mistakes. I have a lot to say, hence the blog. My kids were adopted as babies (one through an agency and one through the foster care system). I love to talk about adoption. My daughter has sensory issues as well as ADHD. I like to vent about parenting. I am occasionally rosy, usually blunt and sometimes I am simply downright rude. Don't read if it offends you. I may sometimes write about my school experiences so let me cover my bases. I don't live in your town, I don't work at your school, I am not talking about your child, you don't know me. If you think you've figured out who I am...ask me, I will lie and say you don't know me. email me at chocolatecoffeesleep@hotmail.com
