Old Eyes

Kaitlin and I had eye doctor appointments this afternoon. The Heights nurse called me last week to tell me she flunked the eye exam at school, and I've been needing stronger bifocals (ugh, it's hell to get old!). Kaitlin's prescription didn't change much, certainly not enough to have failed the exam at school. Our doctor told us not to rely on those, as they are never done at the right distance or with the right light. And I got good news - except for that stupid floater I have that will never go away - my eyes have improved, which is why I'm having trouble seeing well. I need "less strong" glasses! YIPPEE! I'm going to wait until January to get new ones, as I can get both frames and lenses if I wait. Our insurance pays for new frames every other year, and new lenses every year.

Kaitlin taped Dancing with the Stars for me Monday night, since I was at Garth; and I watched it yesterday, before the elimination show. I want Marie to win, so I was glad to see her make it another week. I'm not saying some of the others aren't better dancers, but I think Marie has the entertainment value and personality, so I'm still voting for her. Kaitlin was also nice enough to do my voting for me Monday night!

I just finished reading SPLIT SECOND by Alex Kava. Good book! Still haven't picked up the book from hold at the library. I was on the west side of town Sunday, but forgot (again, it's hell to get old!)

First Day of School

It's tradition at my house to take a "first day of school" picture. The kids get less and less thrilled every year, but I still do it. Here are the twins before they left for their first day of senior year: Kind of funny that they both wore gray - unplanned of course! I think Kaitlin is putting in her plug for the college she'd like to go to. They had a good day. Found out that at 1800 students, Heights is over their limit by 400 students!!! OMG! I'm not sure what the answer is, but it is WAY TOO CROWDED! I think the northeast side of town needs a new high school. Something needs to be done! Just finished my Nora Roberts book, and have started New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. Kaitlin took Abby to the vet yesterday to get her last distemper shot and a rabies shot. The vet told her that she comes from a line of very strong / physically superior cats. I knew there was some reason that she climbs EVERYWHERE in the house, including u...
