I QUIT!!!

What do you get when are several months into job elimination + no health insurance + not being eligible for state med.icare coverage unless I acquire over a certain amount in bills+ 1 pack of contact lenses + last eye exam a little over 3 years????? A hot damn pink eye freaking mess...THAT'S WHAT!!

Now I will say that I have never been the greatest with taking my contacts out and cleaning them on a regular or consistent basis. I will never divulge how long I have left them in without a regular cleaning OR even the mere fact that my contacts are disposable and that I still have almost a full pack left should give you a clue. Sometime mid last week my eye up and quit this b****....with a vengeance. Last week one of my kids had to go to training for her summer job. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^OMG^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sorry, still reeling over the fact that older ones are, well getting older...sniff.

To give her feel of being grown I asked her if she wanted me to stay with her during training or if she wanted me to leave. I was not completely hurt when she pointed to the door. Okay...so I didn't let her be grown because I sat outside in front of the door in my car. I turned on the car radio, opened up my school text and tried to read. Failing miserably I might add because shortly thereafter I hear someone snoring. My ass fell asleep and I assume this when my eye and said contact lens decided that they had enough of one another. I knew that I might doze off so I set the alarm on my cell to go off in a half hour so I would worry my child if I didn't greet her promptly and to keep any folks walking by from thinking that I somehow met an untimely demise in my car.

After waking up I noticed the corner of my eye felt tender. I rubbed it a little with nary a thought and went inside to get my kid. Later that night the tenderness, and I do not mean that lovingly, proceeded to worsen with slight swelling. Day 2....I looked like I had been stung or bit by something. Day 4.....children leading the blind is all I will say (I took the contact lens out of the revolutionary eye). Day 5...I look like Mike Tyson bust me in my eye. In the midst of these few days the Mr. had been trying to get me to go the emergency....me.....using old non-expired antibiotic drops to see if I could circumvent my eye of a train wreck. Which is worse than me running to bathroom and running my eye while open under the toilet bowl rim, hell I think that may have actually cured me.

Sooooo...5 days later, a wonderfully awesome pediatrician.....what....you didn't know that I had regressed? Kidding...my little beans doctor took pity on me during his check up today and prescribed me a bottle of non bacteria filled antibiotic eyedrops which I promptly filled to the tune of only $19. God is eginning to see that I have learned my lesson because I fold my old pair of glasses. Although the lens prescription is a little older..THEY work for what I need them to work for. Hallelujiah...my eyes have slowed down in rendering me legally blind! I promptly tossed the contact lens in my good eye down the toilet. Did I mention that I had to magnify all web pages to 150% to even see properly...it wass that or hold the laptop 2 inches from my face. ummm...I chose quadrupled font.

I pray that this works so that I can avoid having any type of medical bills and with no solid income that is not related to unemployment. Might I add that I am so thankful that my children have medical coverage! In the baby babble words of Little Bean when he sees my boob and immediately attempts to latch on through my shirt, "Oh thank you angels and Baby Jesus!!!!"
