...we were busy trying not to lose our home in a grass fire. Ok, well not really as the fires were a few miles from where we live. But we managed to survive. Although that survival was in question when I realized I had DVRd two hours of fire coverage.

Sunday was a big day here. After five days without, I was cleared to wear eye makeup again. I had a bought with Zeh Pink Eye. Blech. But thank goodness there are 90 dollar eye drops to clear up the infection. Actually, I did not fill my prescription. I survived on the small sample of drops from the doctor. Memo to Bausch and Lomb: Ninety smackeroos is way too dang expensive for a dropper of medicine no bigger than my pinky nail. Or, perhaps you haven't heard, but we're in an economic crisis. Memo to my eye doctor: When I call and say, can you prescribe me something cheaper? Cheaper does not mean 70$. Or, perhaps you haven't heard, but we're in an economic crisis.

The kids and I have been passing around some illness for almost four weeks now. And after much pleading and preaching from my parents about eating healthy, taking vitamins and blah blah, I decided to get Kendall on an antibiotic to break the cycle of sickness (In all truth, she was at the dr. for a well child check and the doc said, "Ew, she has a nasty double ear infection!" So we saved a copay! Which worked out well since I went to the doctor for zeh pink eye and Cason also had a well child check up this week. Ha! Take that medical bureaucracy!). I like to handle things with the least amount of healthy eating as possible.

Question: Anyone out there going to a tea party? I'm interested in your thoughts on this. Ok, well probably not every one's thoughts on this. But some of you.

ETA: Y'all are so funny. I meant a POLITICAL type tea party. Not the kind at Inspirations Tea Room. Although I could seriously go for some coconut cake right about now.

Weird, you are the third mom I know that went to their toddler's wellness visit and found an ear infection!

Mine had a double, too! What's the deal?

Sounds like our house! My 3 yr old had pink eye and when we went to pick up the medicine it was $125! Are they crazy? So luckily they let us take it back after my husband insanely paid for it and brought it home. We took it back and went to the Laser Eye Center my sister works for and got plenty of free samples. Good thing since then I got it in both eyes then he got it again! ugh! Zeh pink eye!

Well if I didn't have to work on Wednesday I would like to go....see what they're like...but I guess since I have to work I won't be visiting!

What are you wanting to know about tea parties? I mean are you having one or just wanting to go to one? I have been to one if you want deets. I am also inviting myself if you are going to one.

Elizabeth said...

Dang it! Is this tea party another C of C thing? I'm converting. I love any excuse to eat scones and drink sugar water with my pinky held up.

If it's at Inspirations Tea Room, get the coconut cake not the chocolate. I know! Blasphemy! But, seriously it's the best of the two.

And, I better be invited next time.

Hey! I am going to the tea party at the capitol - I am interested to see how it goes... Hopefully a lot of people, but not craziness! I've never been to a political "protest" before, so it will be new for me!

Taxed Enough Already, people! (does NO one read the news??) :)

I understood, Emily.

But I'll plead the 5th on answering...

Good to hear your house didn't burn down. Bummer about the DVR. AI ran over last week and I had to search youtube to find Adam's performance.

I am nothing if not interested in current events and important things.

I am SO proud of you for knowing what a TEA party is!!

Gena said...

I would desperately love to go to the tea party. I have to teach.... :(

Sorry about the ear infections. No fun.

OK Chick said...

I heard about this a few months ago. I want to go. I hear it's held at the steps of the capital?

Kristin, you're going? Is it only during the day? I'm assuming so.

I thought about going to a tea party, but you know the makeover episode of biggest loser is on tomorrow night. My support only goes so far. : ) I am anxious to hear about what people say about it though.

Glad to hear you are getting better. The one is Tulsa is at LaFortune Park, still not sure if hubby and I are going yet. But it does give us an excuse to take the boys to the park.
