Glasses

Finally getting around to getting my Christmas present...I know I know. But it's been the last thing on my mind. I know why I never get glasses over contacts. Holy crap they are expensive! But now since my prescription isn't changing drastically year to year I finally bit the bullet. I could have picked them up right then if I was normal, but having so much astigmatism required a 2 week delay. Boo!

My doctor was running a Buy 1 Get 1 Free promotion and I was ALL over it (Thanks Dr. V)! So I began the hunt...no, no, maybe, no. Why are finding frames so hard? I narrowed it down to 1 after 30 minutes of looking, and of course it didn't come in black and brown or it would be simple. So I asked the lady helping me to find frames to fit my round face, she should be good at that right?! And yep she did great! Picked one I would have never picked.

So I got 1 metal (Vera Bradley) and 1 plastic (Guess). Different looks and exactly the same price. $179.

Seriously $179 and that was just for the frames. Of course the ones I liked were all $150-250. lol Then add in the lenses $95 each plus the non-glare (required for how much I'm behind a computer) $99 plus the EV 4.0 (required because of my astigmatism) $30 you are looking at $499 each!

Having a mini stroke yet? lol Wes about did when I told him the price, hence why I told him to seriously not get me anything else for last Christmas I just knew it was going to be bad. (He's so lucky to not be blind like me!!) Now you see why I was so excited to get another one FREE!! Just imagine if I had to pay for both contacts and 2 glasses out of pocket. You are looking at like $1500. Dang you special eyes! lol Thank goodness for insurance for covering one!

The sole purpose of me getting them now is I'm hoping night feedings won't be so awful this time because I won't be blind!! haha Less straining, less headaches = Happy mommy! Plus it will allow me to take my contacts out earlier to give my eyes a break. I am very happy with my purchase and just hope Aiden and Brody have their daddy's eye sight!!
