How often do you go and get your eyes checked?  You know you should go yearly... but I will admit that I was not the best at doing so... Recently, I asked my eye doctor of a million years if they would let me buy a pair of contacts until I could get back to get my eyes examined... They quickly told me "NO!"  and I learned that it had been YEARS since I had last been seen.. I guess time really flies, because I though for sure I was right around the one year mark... I will not tell you how long they said it had been, but once they did... It all came back to me...  So, I knew it was LONG overdue and I scheduled an appointment at a local place near us...  I am glad I did, since I had been having major...

We recently were sent a book from Abrams Appleseed and as soon as I started reading it, Broxton and I were cracking up turning the pages.  The book that had us laughing?   I Can See Just Fine by Eric Barclay.

Now, I hardly ever wear my contacts.  I normally wear them if I am going on a road trip (so I can wear my sunglasses) or if I am going out somewhere...   Other than that... glasses are 24/7. I now also try and keep a bottle of eye drops in my purse at all times.  We were at a going away party once and this girl needed eye drops... They were from out of town and there was no where near us to go shopping to buy any.  I gave her my bottle and told her I had more, so she could keep it... but, what if I had needed some on the way home?  I remembered when I was younger my mom had these i...
