Glasses

When I was 15, I began to realize that I couldn't see the writing on the chalkboard at school anymore. I denied it for awhile, but I didn't want my grades to suffer, so my parents took me to the eye doctor. Sure enough, I had waited long enough that I didn't just need glasses for seeing the board, but for everything else in life, too. I begged my parents to let me have contacts, but the trade-off was that I had to get the free glasses, nothing fancy. That was fine with me since I didn't see myself as a glasses-person anyway.
But over the years, every time my vision got worse and I needed a new prescription, I would also just get the free ones (because I was now paying for them on my own and certainly didn't want to fork out a couple hundred dollars on glasses I only wore from the bathroom to my bedroom at night.)
Last year Chris and I decided that I needed to get some glasses that I was comfortable wearing in public. Since two kids were on the horizon, I knew that there would be plenty of mornings where my eyes weren't awake enough to put contacts in. And it worked out for the best because I just found out that I have 1 month left of contacts and 3 months before I can get new ones (according to our plan). Woops- I guess I didn't make those monthly ones last a month. So now I've been wearing my glasses everyday and only put on contacts for special occasions.
Long story short: you will probably see me wearing my glasses more often!
