So between blood work, dr. visits, manufacturing companies that are not at all easy to deal with, two month behind in productions, wanting to start school, kids schedules, Blue and Gold Dinners, a sliced eye, migraines, and life in general.....I want to say "enough" and crawl back in bed and watch movies for two days. Actually life is not as bad as that sounds....but there are times I think, ok when is that down time people talk about. I guess this is just the season of my life I am in.
So the whole sliced eye thing - have to share that one. So my two year old ended up in our bed and about 3:30 am he started moving around. I turned to see if he was ok and just as i did - I opened my eye as he moved his hand across my face and his nail sliced the top layer of my eye. PAIN PAIN PAIN! It felt like a million eyelashes stuck in my eye. After a very long night - my husband dropped me off at the eye doctor while he ran to a meeting real fast. The dr. said that he had to clean the edge of the top sliced layer so it would heal ok. he also said after that he would put a band-aid contact lens on to protect it. And that be happy we have those now. Because before the contact lens they use they would drug the person up and make them sleep for two days because of the pain. I assured him I could not sleep for two days - because that night I was in charge and hosting the Blue and Gold Dinner or our Ward for 120+ people. I was suppose to be at the Church decorating at that moment.
After scraping 3/4 of the top layer away - and telling me take pain meds and come back tomorrow - I waited for my DH to come pick me up. Got home around 9:30 am and was down at the Church an hour later with two other people decorating. That night dinner was started at 6 pm and went great! Had almost 130 people there and wonderful entertainment! That night when I finally stopped and laid down around 10 pm the pain hit me full force. I think being busy - even though it was hurting - it was not as bad as it would have been if I was laying around and not busy.
By two days later it felt much better - and now a week later - it is still a little tender to the touch and a little blurry still - but it is amazing how the body can heal it self like that.
No one will ever be able to convince me that we are not created from God. That we just happened over time. Our bodies are just too amazing to think otherwise!
Now back to the title - life is not that bad or anything - I just think the last two weeks have been just a bit crazy and none stop. I also think if I could eliminate all the dr. visits and bills from them I would be a lot happier too. Hopefully that will happen sooner than later - since it has been a year since all this started with me. I think we are getting closer to a definite answer.
Well, here is hoping for a little break tomorrow while the family and I head to SLC to meet with a company that hopefully can direct me to a new manufacturer!

I love your family picture! Everyone just keeps growing up. What is up with that? I'm sorry about your eye, and the timing of it. I guess weeks like you've had help us appreciate the regular weeks when another load of laundry is the most frustrating part of our week. Love you!
Thanks Adrua! The picture was taken in 2007! The kids are even bigger than that now - but I love this picture!
