A few weeks ago when I returned from visiting family, I promptly threw all of our laundry in the washer as soon as arrived home.
I felt quite proud of myself for getting this task done so quickly after returning home.
Usually, I let the suitcases sit for far too long before completing this task.
But not this time….no, this time I was on the ball.
Unfortunately, in my haste to get the laundry done, I did not check through the clothes properly and realized the error of my ways much later when my glasses went missing.
They weren’t missing for long.
I found them when I switched the laundry from the washer to the dryer.
The spin cycle wasn’t very nice to them.
Needless to say, I have been without glasses since then.
I normally wear contact lenses anyway, so it hasn’t been a huge deal to go without glasses.
I have been a bit anxious to get a new pair, though, because with Jenny’s birth coming up I fear the possibility of a C-section where I cannot wear contacts in the operating room and I want to see my baby as soon as she is born.
I also like to read in bed at night, and that hasn’t been able to happen without glasses.
So, I finally scheduled an eye exam for this afternoon.
And hopefully, I’ll be able to shop for a new pair of glasses soon as well. I have to take all three children with me to the eye exam, but I’m not sure I’m brave enough to take the shopping for glasses as well. We’ll see how they’re doing.
One more task will soon be crossed off of my list of things to accomplish before the arrival of a new baby in our home.
What are you tackling in your home this week?

Oh my! I know how hard it is to try to pick out glasses with little ones in tow! It seems I never get a new pair of glasses until I’ve completely destroyed my current one!

Girl, that is totally something that I would do. I don’t wear glasses, but if I did… Mommy brain hasn’t been good to me at all!
