Well I have been on vacation now for two weeks. I have not had my little babysitting girl for two weeks and wont have her for another week. I actually miss the little booger! She is a good girl. I just hope we don't go through the whole separation anxiety thing again. I also hope that we don't go back to square one with the eating thing. I was able to get her to gain a pound in the last week she was here. I hope she hasn't lost all of that since she has been gone.
Amber called from Florida on the 3rd. She is ,of course, having a great time. She was so excited telling me about all the things she has done. She got to meet her favorite wrestler, John Cena. He was out for a bite to eat at Whataburger. She got to sleep with Beluga Whales and says that they make more noise than her dad when he is sleeping. She also got to swim with sharks! Well she was in a shark cage but still very exciting. She has ridden every single roller coaster at Busch Gardens. Of course her and "Grandma" have been shopping at just about every store and mall in the tri-county area. LOL
Our 4th of July was great! We went to a cookout at one of Jeff's friends. The kids got to eat whatever they wanted (including tons of cookies), drink as much pop as their bellies could handle and run around like little animals outside all day long. Jeff played his very first game of horseshoes and his team actually won! I didn't really do much but sit around and talk amongst the ladies and watch the children play. I am fine with that too. If my kids have a great time then all is good. We got home with a couple hours to relax and spend some play time with Jake and Jenna (our dogs) before the town's fireworks show. As always, we watched the fireworks from our driveway because we have some of the best seats in town. A couple of friends came by to watch the show with us. A good time was had by all. The kids all slept like logs after their adventurous day and didn't get up until nearly 10 AM the next morning.
I had an eye doctor appointment yesterday the 5th. It was the first time I have been to the eye doctor in 8 years! yes I got quite a lecture by the optometrist. LOL I was quite surprised to learn that vision had not changed much at all in 8 years. However I was told that I now have an astigmatism in both eyes. They doctor said, judging by my current glasses I had one in my right eye years ago and no one told me. I was going to get contacts but the was too much red tape to get through for that and a little more money than I was wanting to spend at the moment so I ordered new glasses instead. This time I spent a little extra to get Transitions lenses. It was quite the learning experience for me to go and make all the decisions for myself knowing that I was paying for it all out of my pocket and not Jeff's like normal.
I also learned how to record home videos on my digital camera and send them via e-mail. I was having way too much fun making videos until my batteries in my camera went dead. So now I have to get more batteries before I can take more videos to send to everyone.
