My Son’s Lazy Eye is Torture!
Over the summer, I wrote about how my son was diagnosed with Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, and how the treatment for it involves wearing a hideous patch over one lens of his glasses while playing a special video game designed to strengthen his other eye.
I’ve Reached the Holy Grail…Now What?
I have finally reached the holy grail of motherhood: both of my kids are in school all day, in the same place. No more dropping one at eight am and one at nine am, no more twelve oclock preschool pickups and three oclock grade school pickups. No more getting involved at two different schools, no more trying to get all of my errands and work done in the three hours that my little one was in preschool. I am now, officially, a MWTH.
Tech Pathetic : When Did I Get So Old?
For a while, I was feeling really on top of things, technologically speaking. When email first came out, back when I was in law school, I got on it right away. I was surfing the internet when people were still calling it the world wide web. My husband and I were early adopters of TiVo, digital cameras and Blue Ray.
It is Hard to Wait
A few weeks ago I ran into a woman I havent seen since my son was in preschool two years ago. We were at the grocery store and started chatting in line, and she mentioned her daughter, who is twelve, so I mentioned that I just wrote a book for girls that age, and told her that she should look it up on Amazon. A few days after that, I ran into her again, which was weird, considering that I hadnt seen her in two years, and then all of a sudden here she was, twice in the same week.
Survey Says…”X.”
When I was a kid, my mom had this thing about x-rays at the dentist. Every time my brother and I went for our annual teeth cleaning and check-up, the dentist wanted to take x-rays of our mouths, and every time my mother would refuse to let him. I didnt mind – I hated having to bite down on that plastic thing shoved inside my cheek, and the lead vest they put over my torso always made me nervous.
