I survived!

Well girls, I made it through my first week of working full time! Thank you so much for all your sweet comments, emails and prayers. I don't know that I had ever been more thankful for Friday to come. =) We get off early on Friday afternoons and I was so thankful to come home to see my sweet man!

We were able to have a late lunch and run a couple of errands before my appointment with the eye dr. I had LASIK three years ago and was thrilled when my vision was corrected to 20/20. Y'all really wouldn't believe how blind I was before if I told you. Trust me, it was not good! Well, it had been a couple of years since I'd had my eyes checked and I knew it was time for an exam. Lately I've noticed that things were a little blurrier than they used to be and I just didn't want to go and find out that it was getting worse! Well, after staring at a computer all day, every day this week I've come home with headaches and my eyes feeling so tired, I guess from straining without even realizing it, and I knew it was time to find out.

Unfortunately, I heard what I did not want to hear...my vision has gotten worse and I'm now 20/40 in my right eye and 20/30 in my left eye. Not terrible, I know, but I was just so hoping that it would have stayed the same! So, I'm probably going to be getting glasses and wearing them at least when I'm on the computer and maybe driving at night. I was so sad when I had to try on frames and try to pick something out. I was hoping I would NEVER have to do that again. Oh well!

Then, after my eye exam, the dilation drops, and I guess working all week just catching up with me, I ended up in the bed with a migraine at 6:00pm. We had plans to go out with friends and we had to cancel because I felt awful. I just laid in the bed and cried! I fell asleep at 8:00 last night and slept until 8:00 this morning. I guess you could say I was exhausted!

I have to tell you, I have a whole new respect for ladies that work full time. Especially working moms and working single moms....I don't know how you do it. It is not easy at all! I am sooooo very thankful for my sweet husband. I just have to brag on him for a bit...he has set his alarm and gotten up with me every day this week, even though he doesn't have to be up that early. He has made me coffee and warmed my muffins up and even started the car on the chilly mornings. And, he surprised me yesterday by working on some landscaping projects in the front yard that I've been wanting him to do. He is just the best and I am so thankful for him!!

I'm excited about a long weekend and being off of work on Monday. Perfect timing! We don't have any big plans, except for sleeping in. Ha! Hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!
