I am not really sure where they get this but let me just set the record straight.
I usually fall out of the running on January 1st of each year... and then slide in a pretty steep spiral everyday after that....
A few weeks ago Sam was at a book club meeting at Brook's home.
I guess the girls were talking about something and she said she couldn't see it...
So they put Natalia's glasses on Sam....
Guess what? She could see.
Hmmm. I had no idea.
So I finally scheduled an appt with someone you may or may not know...
Dr. Thompson... aka John or Brook's dad, the latter is how we at the house of mac refer to him.
I even asked his permission to use this photograph!!! You know privacy laws and all...
Long story. I was there for 2 hours. Maxed out the insurance and will end up paying more. She ordered a pair of glasses and on Tuesday we go back to fit her with contacts and order those.
I hate that Josh & I's genes are giving her bad vision. I wore glasses/ contacts from 8 years old until 30 when I had Lasik... the best thing ever! I wish I could give her Lasik now and move on. :(
As a fun side note Sam got her eyes dilated so Dr. John could make sure everything looked good.
She also had a piano recital at 7pm tonight...
they were still dilated at the recital and her eyes were watering so we made the decision for her to wear her sunglasses to perform... emma wore hers as well during the duet so that Sam wouldn't feel embarrassed.
supermom? yeah pretty much fail.
Cause you know what I thought leaving the Dr?
I was thinking I should maybe bring the other kids in to make sure they can see...
but I don't think I can afford it if they can't. So maybe I will just wait till they say something.
(even though Dr. John said "you know that vision is genetic" and before my Lasik my eyes were -4.75 and -5.0 - for those of you who don't know eyes that is bad... real bad... like almost blind bad, so how terrible is it that I even thought that???)
beep. I lose. out of the supermom running.
In other news all 4 of my girls played splendidly at their recital.
I don't play as you know...
So no extra points towards supermom status here... they earn it all on their own.

I still think you're a fantastic mom!!!
Yes sometimes that happens where things get overlooked. Your children still know they are loved deeply, even though her vision was not up to par!! Getting glasses for Chloe was the best thing. She doesn't like to wear them all the time and says she can see fine without them until she drives the quad or bike and does school work.
