And I realize I’m blending idioms, or euphamisms, or whatever the hell you’d call those sayings (anyone?  anyone?).  I tried to wikipedia it, but I got so confused after about the third sentence that I gave up. 

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that this has been a LONG week.  The fact that I was exhausted (and maybe still hungover?) from being in San Francisco didn’t help, and it was just one thing after another ALL. WEEK. LONG.  Both good & bad. 

First let me start by saying THANK YOU to everyone who gave me a big virtual hug in regards to my post on Zach and his apparent eye problems.  There were a lot of tears this week, and a good bit of them were caused by your outpouring of support.  I love me some internets and you guys gave me great perspective.

We went to the Pediatric Ophthalmologist on Thursday morning, and he basically confirmed what the Optometrist had told us on Tuesday.  So, on Monday we’re heading over to an optical shop to pick out some nifty frames for baby Zach.  While the vain, superficial part of me wants to get him some cute little wire frames, the practical side of me, which is usually NOT very persuasive, realizes that I need to get him some sturdy (read: hard to break) plastic frames.  That look something like this:

So, until I’m comfortable enough to think that he won’t pull them off constantly, he’ll look something like this:

Which is much cuter and easier to deal with than what I was thinking he’d look like earlier in the week.  If you remember.  And while it still kills me everytime I think of covering up his beautiful blue eyes with glasses, especially of the uber thick, coke bottle variety lenses, I realize that it’s really what’s best for him.  Especially as his crossed eyes (or accomodative esotropia) seems to be getting worse as the week has progressed.  Glasses will completely correct that situation.  And let me tell you, it’s pretty pathetic.  Pretty freakin’ pathetic.

On top of all this, my computer crashed (NOT the one I won at BlogHer, which I’m typing on right now) so I haven’t had much access to email or pictures, or any of the information I had stored for the Great AllMediocre Giveaway of ‘08.  I don’t know if anyone has asked to be added to AM, or if anyone has emailed me at that address.  I can get, but not send, emails on my amomtwoboys account, so that’s something.  If you’ve emailed me and I haven’t responded, please don’t hold it against me.  If you’ve asked to be added to AM and haven’t been, don’t hold that against me either.  Nerds to the Rescue are supposed to come to my rescue on Monday and hopefully I’ll be back up and running.  In the meantime, if any of you can give me a lesson on setting up Outlook on two computers without totally fucking it up, I’d greatly appreciate it. 

AND, I have a RAGING sinus-y cold.  I’m not sure which one of you BlogHer bitches gave it to me, but if I ever figure it out I’m going to hunt you down and…I’m not sure what.  But it’s going to be BAD and you should be AFRAID.  Very afraid.  My nose is running, and completely stuffed at the same time, my eyes are watering, my head is stuffy…it’s very unpleasant.  And makes me very crabby.  And OH SO tired.  So very tired. 

On a good note, we got Dylan & Zach’s swingset finished today, which has produced MANY an excited giggle and shriek of joy from Dylan.  So that’s been fun.  I’d share photos and videos with you, but I don’t have this computer set up for that and frankly, I don’t feel like spending the time doing it.  I know you’re crushed.

I also got to make real life hang out plans with two of my new favorite people.  I’m sure you’re sick of hearing about them, which is stupid because they’re AWESOME, so I won’t tell you who it is…I’lljusttypethatit’stheSpohrsreallyfastandthenyouwon’tcare.  And I know you’re totally freakin’ jealous.  Bwah ha ha ha ha!

And!  We “won” a trip to Disneyland!  All we have to do to claim our “winnings” is attend an hour and a half long presentation.  For a timeshare.  It’s really AMAZING how lucky we are, isn’t it?  But we’re totally going to do it, because HELLO, free trip to DISNEYLAND!  How fun is that? 

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your support this week.  I really can’t even begin to tell you how much it’s meant to me.  And you can bet your little asses that I’ll put a picture up as soon as Zach’s got his glasses.
