For the love of my sanity!

Okay, so the weather is getting warmer out and people are bringing out the fans before turning on the AC. I have Usher's which mean I can't see the little box fans that  that are sitting in the doorways and usually trip over them. I usually tend to remember that once I trip over a fan that there is one there but at home my life is chaotic. Don't get me wrong because I love my chaotic life.... 3 little girls who love to chase each other and scream.... what's not to love about it. So when I am trying to deal with those girls I tend to forget where those fans are and trip over them. It usually stops my kids right away because they are concerned with me but then I have to let them know that I am okay. This tripping over fans and running into other things usually leaves to multicolored bruises and scrapes and unsightly burns while I am trying to craft. I was thinking about starting a picture blog of all my bruises the other day, but I decided that my posting them on Facebook is enough! So when dealing with a Blind person, even a legally blind person, please do not invite them to your house and then move the furniture around after they leave! You will only contribute to more bruises! Okay, so that was a little joke, just tell us if there is anything that we might trip over and please have good lighting. It usually takes a legally blind person's eyes five minutes to adjust from outdoor lighting to indoor lighting and we don't see well in dimly lighted places. That is why we have hard times at bars and restaurants. Be kind, offer your elbow. All you have to do is walk. We are about a step behind you and if you come up to a tight space put the arm behind you and we will go directly behind you. When you need to do something that does not involve us, find a blank piece of wall  and drop off us there.... just let us know what you are doing and that you will be right back. Let us know if there are any stairs or doors and if there is a place to sit. Most of it is common sense and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.

EPIC FAIL

So I completely bombed that New Year's Resolution! My goal was to write in the blog every week so uhm yeah....epic fail! That's all right because I have a lot on my plate. I am a full-time mom who is also attending the University of Phoenix online. Yes, this legally blind and hearing impaired gal (ugh I hate that term!) is getting her Bachelor's degree in Health Care Administration. I am still not sure what I want to be when I grow up but I know that I want to work in the health care field. Since I can't be a nurse for the obvious reasons I thought I would work in the office. Only time will tell.

Not much has really happened since I last posted here in February, but I wish Mother Nature would get out of her funk and cooperate. These weather changes are hard on the eyes! Other than that I am hoping to get new hearing aids... Yup, going from analog to digital baby! I can't wait so as soon as I get them I will be posting what I think and how excited I am for these new changes in my life! No real moral to today's post so I guess this is a warning for the next post.... be prepared!
