Retail Therapy-Day 6

wow. THIS is why I work. I couldn't be off everyday, I would spend like mad. Filling the kid's closets with stuff whether they needed it or not. Today though, it was a good retail therapy day. Bubs NEEDED pants that weren't waiting for a flood and I did get some Christmas gifts. Never mind that I am dieing to give them to the kids NOW. I will hide them and wrap them and hold off. :) I love shopping.

I had my first eye exam in YEARS today. I was so nervous, my eyes felt like they were on parade. I actually was getting a headache from the stress of it all. However, my eyesight is 20/20 baby. No old eyes HERE, no sir. The Dr did note a slight vision problem in my right eye. He said I could pass a driving test (oh no I can't, ask the DMV who renewed my license when I turned 25 oh like two years ago) but that if I had classes on I would be amazed at the clearness I would experience. HMM, then he showed me to the eye glass showcase and out came the eyeglass salesmen. Less raunchy than a car salesman, but not far from it. He said, "so, if you were to get glasses, what kind would you like?" My response, "Ones that look like I am not wearing any at all" what he must of heard is "oh, ones that are ridiculously expensive and add on all the bells and whistles" So, $153 and an hour later, I am the proud owner of a pair of specs. I did refuse the anti glare crap, but that was probably a free add on. I should get them in a week and a half, I will show you all how smart I look, though my pocketbook doesn't agree.

So it is day 6, things have been going well here. I had a ping of feeling that resembled missing the hubs. He did call today and it was nice to spill all of my dark confessions of overspending on someone, but as far as feeling sappy, uhm not so much. It has been nice not having him home. It has been nice not feeling that dark cloud hanging over my head (self induced 1/2 of the time). Kids have barely asked for him, sadly. Even the dog has gotten into a nice routine of not annoying the crap out of me. Hubs is feeling sappy, he misses me, wants us to be happy again, can't wait to be home so he can snore all night and keep me up. Ok the last part was my addition, but you get my drift. I feel guilty for not being more weepy about it, but I can't pretend. Maybe when he gets home it will come back to me, we will see. Just as any new shiny thing, it will get smudged and not be so FABULOUS after a little while. *shesh* how is THAT for optimism?

Happy Wednesday all.

So much for wordless Wednesday...but here is a pic I would like to share...Grammy love.
