Men I Tell Ya
I swear men don’t think. Ever.
Bill was getting some tools for our concrete project this weekend from his friend. Since Will was sleeping on me, I asked him to get Will some Zyrtec. (Earlier, in the week, I had Will into the doctor for a persistent cough that doesn’t seem to go away. She figured it was either a virus or allergies. I had to wait till Friday to see if the cough went away on its own. If it didn’t, we were to give him Zyrtec).
He gets home about 8:30 pm, and I go to get Will his medicine. Then I saw what Bill bought. It was not good. He bought Zyrtec D. For adults. In pill form. I wish I was kidding. I mean that’s like buying a L-shaped desk instead of a U-shaped desk. Close but no cigar. I asked if he bothered to talk to the pharmacist. He said he did. I then asked him if he told her (the pharmacist) that Will was there. He didn’t. (I asked Bill how exactly Will, who is three, was suppose to take this pill. His response that he should just swallow it. At three years old. I’m currently banging my head against the wall).
So I rushed out at 8:30 to get back to Walgreens and return what he bought. It’s great having to return medicine to get what I really needed and having to explain to both the manager and the pharmacist why.
I don’t get it. If Bill goes to the store for something like say a computer desk, he won’t mess that up. However, if I send him to the grocery store or Walgreens, this is what I get. I swear men do this on purpose so they don’t have to help!

I can see clearly now . . .
Well, actually Madison can. She had an eye doctor appointment last night. I changed her from the pediatric ophthalmologist to the eye doctor Bill and I go to. It’s just down the street, and it’s covered under our vision insurance (whereas her ophthalmologist was not). The amazing thing is that we’ve been going to the other place for 2 years, and I learned more about what’s up with Madison’s eyes last night!
Now, we ended up at the ophthalmologist when Madison was 3, because she had a lazy eye. The glasses were to correct it. What I was never told was that she has a refractive error in her eyes, so she’ll always wear glasses. She’ll always have to wear glasses. Unlike adults, they also don’t give them the full prescription right away either. They slowly work their way up. This explains why every single year her prescription has changed. Also, until they get her to her full prescription her depth perception sucks. For us, this explains a lot. We couldn’t figure out why she can’t catch. Well, that explains a lot. If you don’t have depth perception that would make it quite difficult.
Now, we wait for her new lenses. These still aren’t her full prescription, but her new doctor has already told us that she’s putting Madison on an accelerated schedule to get her up to where she needs to be.
