Here and there

The weekend was, as I knew it wold be, busy.  The kick-off is meeting daughter and family along with their present BFFs for dinner at the local Mexican Food restaurant. That will  be another story.  It's fun, but mainly it's good because I don't have to cook.


Saturday was Monkey Boy's birthday party at a laser tag place.  Needless to say, we DID NOT participate in the games.  But we have missed so many of his parties - along with the other two's parties - that since we were in town, we should go.  Got to talk to some of Daughter's friends (and mothers of the boys of course.).


When I got up Saturday I put on my glasses when I got out of bed and stumbled into the kitchen.  I have a condition where my eyes will be blurry because of the excretions from the tear ducts. Whenever I looked up that morning, I couldn't see.  I could see fine close up, but distance was just a blur.  In fact my eyes are blurry now - but close up. I kept waiting for it to finally clear, and I still could not see far.  


I finally took the glasses off,at  only to discover they were my READING glasses.  My new progressives are in a wire frame - like I would always wear before last year when I got the thick frames,  So I was trying to look at far things, I couldn't see.  I guess when I took the readers off, I put them were the progressives should have been. Que estupido!  Now I can tell the difference by feel - IF my fingers are not numb.  The readers have a little twirl on the ear pieces.


Sunday was church.  I managed to piss G off because I wanted to get there 30 minutes early.  We now have two services with 30 minutes between for social.  The folks I wanted to see all are in the early service because that's when Children's Church is.  So it was just my luck again.  They all went to the baby's room meet about who was going to teach what during Children's Church.  So no fellowship there!


The afternoon was great and worked like I wanted it to.  We were taking Lady Bug to the little suburban theater's yearly Mellardrammar.  She loved it.  Popcorn was thrown at the villain. She threw the popcorn she didn't  eat during the time he wasn't on stage.  But she absolutely loved it, and being an interactive play, it was great.


After the play, Family Dinner was held at Daughter's house.  Monkey Boy and Dad were at a baseball thingy.  THAT's another story.


So that was my weekend.  Fun filled.  I had great fun - loved it when we were on our way out of the play when the fella playing the villain admonished LB to "get your PARENTS (!!!) to buy better seats next time."  He certainly made my afternoon.  I haven't been mistaken for her mother in 10 years! 


Peace be with you!

It sounds like you were busy busy! Do you get cheese dip when you go to the Mexican restaurant?

I love a good melodrama! They had a great one when I was in school, and I've never forgotten how fun it was.

And, PLEASE tell me you saw Leo on AMC Friday????

Oh JuJu yes I did. They also ran some of the old stuff where he and Greenly were so happy. He looked like a baby in those shots, but he was BACK!

Sorry - I do have to keep my good friend and sister I never knew I had up with the AMC story!

Love your story about your glasses; now I don't feel so bad.

Your glasses story reminded me of dh & his new progressive lenses. He just can't get used to them.

I wanted to comment on your comment on my blog. You don't have to be jealous. Our low high temperature yesterday was still 96. The cool front stalled out just south of the Cowboys new stadium. We didn't get any rain either. I'm not sure Dallas got any rain either.

Mellardrammar sounds like great fun for all! I'll have to see if there is anything similar in my area.
