My daughter Haylee loved April Fools Day. She was a prankster. You were never safe with her. It didn't matter if you were family, friend, or foe, if she thought of a good prank there was no stopping her.
Progressive Lens After wearing 'readers' for the past 16 years, I finally broke down and got an eye exam. I think the last time I had an eye exam was 1979! I left an hour later with a couple of hundred dollars less in my wallet, and an order for progressive lenses in the cute frames I liked. Today I received my glasses. I was nervous and excited. I put them on and I could see! Let me rephrase that: I could see straight. If I looked down, up, or sideways...it was blurry. I'm thinking to myself, what have I done? The optometrist said this was all normal and my eyes or my brain would adjust. So I left, enjoying how clear the road straight ahead was. It's been four or five hours since then, and things have really improved. I'm writing this blog with my laptop on my lap. And the screen looks pretty clear! I love my new Coco*Song Eyewear.

The Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, is the basis of Christian belief. A clover or shamrock is a symbol of the Trinity. It is also said that the leaves represent faith, hope, and love. As I write during my lenten journey without facebook, I think about my faith. I am third of my parents' eight children.

If I looked at my life, I could remember all of the bad things: a fire in our home when I was in sixth grade, or becoming a single parent of four children under six when I was only 28. The accidental death of my sister when she was just 38 and I 36. A car accident that changed my mom and dad's life fore...
Well what do you know...I slept through the night! I cannot remember the last time I did that. I usually get up at least once to use the bathroom. But according to the data on my UP app that came with my Jawbone, I got over six hours of sleep with zero wake ups! I bet I know the reason why. I truly did not have anything to eat after 7 pm. (As I was at Camelot!) Everyday I try not to have anything to eat after dinner...but usually fail around 8:30 or so. Perhaps this will help motivate me to stick to the plan, no eating after 7 pm. Lord knows that a good night's sleep is much better than any late night snack!
