UGH, Oldest Height

Haven’t posted one of these oldest moments in a long time. lol  But here it is!

My youngest is a little over 12.  I’m sure he’s officially taller than me, but I refuse to measure until tomorrow so I can blog today/nite with no official knowledge that I hit shortest like I always knew I would.

I’m 5′6″.  I’m was shortest in my immediate family growing up.  No idea why as my male cousins are tall, it’s just us female cousins that are shorter than our parents.  WHAT?  There’s a chromosome study ready to go!

1st contacts

I just got my first contacts.  My eyes are still not that bad, but it’s very difficult to play soccer with even the little bit of bad eye sight I have.

So hubby was a sweetheart and contacted our insurance company to get an updated list of those locally that take it.  We’ve only had the insurance for a year now and it’s taken a lot of places, but I’d had major issues finding someone for eye care.

my old glasses

Oh boy, I’m wearing my new glasses. At least that is what I call them. LOL I got them 9 years ago in Feb. Good grief, that is pitiful.

In my defense I did called around here recently because I obviously need a new prescription, my glasses aren’t strong enough anymore, but every place I talked to didn’t take my insurance. I only want a prescription from the eye doctor, then I will order online instead. Why pay my deductible when I can go to Zenni optical and order new glasses and even sunglasses starting at only $8. Lots of free extras are included and shipping is a flat rate $4.95. I really want some prescription sunglasses! But couldn’t really afford them before, now I will be able to have some sweet glasses and actually see. lol

Santa Old Moment

Last weekend Santa came through with the fire department.  Now my kids are 12 and 10, so they know that it was only Santa’s helper.  But they were talking about how cute it was to see the little kids get all excited and jump up and down.  SIGH, yep, old moment.  My kids are old enough to recognize the fun little things in others that they don’t feel anymore.

Old Moments

Well bare with me, I’ve found a new idea to blog about.  It won’t be weekly, it won’t be month, but good god it will be sporadic.  These will be my moments when I have a bond with my growing old.  Not with the fact that I’m growing old.  DUH, happens, but I won’t ever get there.  But these will be the moments that I realize my old relatives don’t really think they are old either.  Just follow along and you will understand.  lol  I have a couple of them tonight to post.
