Life Lately pt2

It's quite possible that I've lost my glasses. Again. This is not good considering my terrible eyesight. I know someone out there is probably thinking that maybe I should get contact lenses.  Maybe I should. Especially considering that this is the 3rd pair of glasses I've lost in 4yrs. I used to lose phones a lot. And now I've upgraded to losing glasses. When the last pair disappeared I was truly devastated. You see I have a fairly small face and that particular granny-esq pair fitted the shape of my face perfectly. Oh how I loved those glasses. I secretly hope these ones are really lost so I can get a more functional pair - the current ones give me no peripheral view. Sigh.

So I wanted to continue the Life Lately post because I'm still playing catch up. And in these pics you'll spot baby boy eating ice cream. That's his first time eating ice cream on a cone. A special moment considering how much he loved it and how much his mama loves ice cream. Dear Robdawg surprised us yesterday afternoon by popping in at the library right after work. Of course I wasn't expecting him since he also had school later. But I'm sure glad he came through. It was a scene out of a movie I tell you. By this I mean the library was crowded with parents and kids. And I was concentrating on stopping baby boy from throwing Lego blocks at another kid. Just then his face lit up as he squealed DADA! I turned and the crowded room became silent as dear husband walked over to hug the happy baby. Ah. That made me feel so good. We hung around for a little while longer playing peekaboo before crossing the street for an afternoon treat.

Yesterday was indeed a perfect day. It ended with lots of reading. One of the classes I'm taking is on American History and to say that it's challenging would be putting it mildly. But one thing I'm noticing is that suffering is universal. And that just like South Africa and many other countries around the world, the history of the US is riddled with blood, sweat and tears. Literally. Not only am I understanding the history of this land a little better but I'm also becoming more culturally and socially aware. I guess this is one of the reasons why it's important to get an education. Gosh, who knew;)

Talking about education, I've got a test to study for.

And here is what life looks like lately:
