Conversations with My Kids

Background:  My husband is a coffee addict.  He prefers expresso because it's stonger.  Our current expresso maker was on the fritz.  Gasp!  I ordered a new one and it came in yesterday.  Patrick was helping Daddy put it together and we were talking about coffee.

P:  Mommy, do you like coffee?
Me: Yes, but I can't drink it.
P:  Why?
Me:  Because it makes my heart beat to fast.
P:  Why?
Me:  Well, because my heart's a little different.  It's doesn't always work quite the way it should.
P:  So it's broken.
Me:  Kindof.  But I'm okay, Buddy.  Don't worry about Mommy's heart.
P:  Do you still love me?
Me:  OF COURSE!  Why would I not love you?
P:  Because you have a broken heart.
Me:  (Smiling and lots of hugs and kisses).  I will always love you broken heart and all, sweet boy!!!

Blinded by the Light

Sorry, things have been a little slow here.  I've been having major eye issues this week.  Turns out the new astigmatism lenses I started wearing a few months ago do not let enough oxygen back to my eye which resulted in me having inflamed irises in both eyes.  I have been experiencing a lot of burning and stinging recently and MAJOR light sensitivity!  So, I've had to have my eyes dilated for the past 48 hours straight and put steroid drops in my eyes every two hours.  So not fun!  I go back to the eye doctor on Friday to see if things have improved and discuss a new lens.  This has got me thinking maybe I want to discuss Lasik! 

For now I'll leave you with a picture of me in my shades with my two sweet babies!
