What a cutie patootie! This was the weekend that we picked up sister from the crisis center to adopt and lived happily ever after. He was 18 mos. at this time.
So last, last Thursday, I took the kids to the eye doctor to get their eyes checked before school starts. They were super fine. Then it was my turn. The doctor is looking in my eyes and then starts putting numbing drops in my eyes and then puts a shining blue light on my eye. He is telling me that I have a hemorrhage in my left eye and that he needed to dilate my eyes and take a picture to see it. It was freaking me out and I think it freaked him out too because he does not see this every day. So I came back on Monday to get them dilated, it was joyful. First I could still text and play games on my phone and then I was blind as a bat. I had a visual field test done before they were dilated and then some bright flashy pictures taken of my eyes. He even numbed them still and looked with the blue light thingy again. The pressure in my eyes were 24 and 27 and the hemorrhage indicates glaucoma.

Yesterday, we went up into the mountains and picked some huckleberries. We meaning I made sure that I did not lose track of our vehicle. We picked about 2 cups.

We looked at a couple old cars. Then saw the fire dept giving rides in their cherry picker. I don't what it is called. They went right up in it and then threw candy down upon our heads. Then as we left, Brayden and Lyndee wanted to climb the rock and press the button at the top. Yay! He made it and the Army dude said, "Just like a ranger!!" Please don't get any ideas, Brayden. Then Lyndee wanted to try and she did. That is as far as she got..and then she came down. Way to do your best!
Well, Christmas is almost here. I have neglected my family, my house, and my sanity to put others first. I can't tell you what a great feeling it was too (well, at times). I organized a fundraiser at the school and we collected $2200. Then what I should have done is divided up some of the money and the families and have teachers do the shopping. I was stupid and thought that I could do it all by myself. And I could have..if I took two days off from work to do it. But last weekend, I had my friend help me, then my sis in law, and then my husband. Presents were wrapped and stacked. What a great experience!
