Today I had to do two things that totally filled me with dread:
1. talk to Bubba's baseball coach
2. take my new glasses back.

1. Bubba had the same coach for tball last year. The season went well, except for the fact that the coach put his son in for all the game-winning opportunities, let him pitch all the time, and otherwise favored him over the other boys. We never said anything (except for under our breath), but it irked us enough to request a different team assignment this year.

Obviously we didn't get the reassignment. After talking with some other moms who felt the same way, I called the coach. I told him my concerns in a nice, matter-of-fact, nonconfrontational way, and he received them in kind. Thank goodness that's over.

2. My new glasses (the ones I had to wait a whole month for, since they screwed up the prescription and had to redo them) have a chip in the frame. I discovered this the day after I finally got them. Knowing that it would be more hell-on-earth to get them repaired, and wanting to cut my losses, I requested a refund.

Hubby and I had purchased our glasses together, as a BOGO deal, but they would only refund me a small portion of what I paid. So now Hubby's taking his back too. Turns out that there was a flaw in one of the lenses. We will never go back to EYEMASTERS again.

Sam$ will have my new one ready in a week. And the new pair will probably last as long as the last one I got from them - four years so far.

Bubba's friend Allie is over today. They've been discussing boogers. She told him he had snot coming out of his nose. I helped him blow his nose, and she mentioned that her mom still uses the booger sucker on her.

And that she liked it.

We really like Allie.
