This morning, I experienced THE MOST TERRIFYING DRIVE OF MY LIFE. First by driving Mags to school, then foolishly heading up the hill to Camino as my eyelids simply refused to stay open. It was very dangerous and I’m not sure how I will continue this for the next weeks until my eyesight decides to see the light (I wanted to insert Manfred Mann’s Earth Band tune for your listening pleasure and looked for a trap or dubstep mix, yet sadly found nothing.)
After my school site visit, the ojos were so bad/exhausted, I stopped by an ophthalmologist office in Placerville on my way down the hill. I explained my situation and they quickly and freely gave me two different types of darkening lenses used for eye dilation. Sadly, it isn’t quite enough.
I feel a bit guilty: I used my cranberry crunch as an “in” when I was in Texas as way of proof that I wasn’t a sociopath. By this action alone, it proves I am diabolical, because unless you are dead, you can’t NOT love that stuff.
The day day’d along, until I got a text from my son and I had to leave work to pick him up. I suppose as the mother, I’ll forever be the middle man. The good thing was this: after waiting in the parking lot for the hour during his s
ession (I didn’t want to have to drive myself home then back again), he came back in a much better mood. He commented how much better he felt after talking to someone. “You don’t even have to talk about the issue-it just feels better talking to someone”. Yep. I wish my clients realized that. Then he mentioned we should get burritos for dinner. Damn, I love that kid.
Maggie’s Christmas musical concert was this evening. It was a combination of all the 
choirs (5 different choirs?), plus orchestra, plus jazz band, plus marching band. Those kids put on an incredible performance and it was wonderful to watch. Two things: Do I REALLY need to get a STFU tshirt to wear to these things? C’mon, people, really! Show some respect to your children who have worked HARD. Second, I was the only adult who was seat/bleacher dancing. Whhhhhyyy??? These kids had some kick-ass tunes going, how could you NOT move? Loved seeing Mags, almost directly across from me, rocking along.
Pics My view as I’m subsequently blinded by the light. Mags and her performance.
