I am absent

I haven't had a lot of excitement lately, hence, no posts.
Updates
Kelton finished up basketball. It is great seeing him improve every year. He is really "into" going to the rec center every other day to practice shooting hoops. He is starting a short indoor soccer league this week playing 3 on 3. I am excited to see him play again. This is one sport, I have never been super fond of, but love watching him. The draft for baseball was on Saturday, and he was drafted to the A's. The coach called last night and told us when he said Kelton's name, there were a few other coaches that made a groan (woohooo!). The team tied for first in league last year, and got 4th in state. There are a lot of returning 6th graders, so we'll see how much playing time he gets this year. Hopefully it will be a great year for learning different positions, and getting some time on the mound. Because of his new team, I had to buy these last night....
Plus I wanted to reminisce my high school years. hahaha
Shad
Is happy to have the bathroom done. Now if I can get him to put a hole in the sofa table I bought in January to hide the cords... He has been home the last 2 weekends, which we have enjoyed. Our Anniversary is next week, so I think he plans on being home a 3rd! This may be a record. He taught Kelton how to load his own bullets for hunting season. He has spent many hours playing ball with both boys, and some time relaxing.
Me
nothing really. My eyes are fantastic. I am totally bummed the Cougars had a bad last game. It would be one thing to lose playing well, but another barely losing plaing awful. It makes my chest hurt thinking about it.
Sam.
He is just so funny. Whilst walking down the stairs to get in the car, he only hit one step and plummeted into my "garden" (that's what he calls it-really it's just a bush). He scraped his stomach up pretty good, but only cried for a nano second. Sometimes I wonder if this kid doesn't feel pain. He is the best eater ever. I love that he will eat anything. He is better at working the ipad than the rest of us are. I downloaded a couple learning games, in hopes he will actually want to count to 20. I am amazed every day how much he brightens our family.

The Bathroom is DONE

A project I didn't want to do. A project that needed to be done to get our house on the market again and feel good about it. We gutted the whole room, including a 400 lb tub (literally), the floor, the drywall, the vanity, the toilet. Well, the whole thing. Derr. It came with 4 cold sores, a week off of work for Shad, about 63 trips to Home Depot and Lowes, another 3 day weekend for Shad...And here we are! It is lovely to take a shower in our new bathroom. Now for carpet in the living room, and the house is back on the market. WOOT WOOT

PRK

As you all know, I had PRK a last month, courtesy of Dr. White for my 10 year anniversary working for him. I think I am seeing almost 20/20 now (bw hasn't checked in a couple weeks, but it feels like it). The "recovery" was a lot worse than I was anticipating. I figured since I wasn't in pain and could see pretty well the few days, I would be good to go. WRONG. I wasn't able to get much work at all done for almost 2 weeks. It was like looking through wax paper on day 3-5 and that drove me crazy. My vision was about 20/70 week 1, 20/100 on week 2, then 20/70 week 3. This isn't the "norm", but not uncommon either. I think I tried to work a little more than I should have in the beginning. When your boss pays for a surgery, and you are the biller. You know that there needs to be money coming in to pay said bill, and how can money come in when you aren't billing or posting checks. Anyway, bla bla bla- I can't spit the words our right now. SO, just watch this. I had it done at Hoopes Vision The first is marking the eye, then filling the ring with rubbing alcohol to soften the tissue. Then a "hoe" scrapes off the top layer of cells. After that you will see them clean it off, then laser. You can see the flying spot laser correcting when it gets dark. The laser they used was one that corrects higher order abberations, so each part of my eye is getting treated differently. PRK uses the same laser, you just don't have a flap made like with Lasik. When you see Lasik advertised at 499 an eye, they are using an old laser that is normally a broad beam that only corrects one way all over the cornea. Please for the love, don't ever go to those places. You will regret it. For shizzle.

and just kidding. i have tried about 17 times to load the video, but alas, it won't..
A big shout out to Mom for taking care of me, and driving me-and of course for the dinners from my bff's.

I pooped today

Another purchase by Shad via the internet....
