Well my first surgery went very well and I can already see a lot better than I have in some time. My second one was scheduled for tomorrow but the doc wants to do the laser treatment on the right eye before he does the next cataracts surgery. So I will be having laser surgery tomorrow and my other cataracts surgery on March 7th. I will still be returning to work on March 1st, but I will only be working 15 or so hours a week for a while at least.
I can believe how fast it has gone. I am really going to miss being home with my children. It has been so wonderful!! I thought this was going to be one of my worst trials (and financially it has been REALLY tough) but I have come to see it as a blessing. I would not have been able to be home for this time if I hadn't been forced to. For that...I am grateful :)

Chicken
So I must admit, as excited as I am to have it over, I am totally freaked out about my surgery tomorrow!! I wasn't close to being this nervous before I had my knee surgery. There is just something about the thought of someone messing with my eyes that gives me the creeps.
There is also a bunch of unknowns. Like how do they keep my eyeball from moving? Will I see the surgical instrument coming at my eye? I've been stressing all day! I know that does me no good but as hard as I try to not think about it...there it is.
On to happier thoughts...I have a new hobby! I have discovered that I like (and am even kind of good at) making furniture. I've made one dresser so far but have plans to make my own kitchen table and benches, lockers for the mudroom, pedestals for my washer and dryer, and a dress up station for Shiloh, just to name a few.
For the first time in years I actually know what I want for Christmas...a compound miter saw with stand! Wow I didn't see that coming! Who would have thought I would like to make furniture? I'll post a pic of the dresser and you can tell me what you think (maybe I'm not as good at it as I think..be honest) Either way, I am having lots of fun and have no plans to stop.
I am off of school until April so I hope I can get several pieces done in that time. It depends on if I can find reasonably priced wood and the weather and all kinds of things. I am grateful to my good friend for sharing the DIY website with me because it's not something I would have thought about on my own.
