Description
I'm a work in progress (aren't we all?). Once was an actress, but never took the risk to 'make it'. Now, I'm a mom, wife, teacher, sister, daughter, friend . . . so many roles, so little time!

An Eye Scare
(Cross-posted)
We had a little scare today. Actually, it started yesterday at church.
Little T's Sunday school teacher asked me after church "What's wrong
with Little T's eyes?". I gave her a look like "What you talkin bout
Willis" and told her that I didn't know she was having any problems. So
much for homeschooling parents having a better idea of what's going on
with their kids, right? She told me she had noticed her every few
seconds peering out of the corner of her eye, sometimes one eye and
sometimes another, almost like a tic. I hadn't noticed this, although
she has an annoying habit of not looking at me when I'm talking to her
and rolling her eyes at me when I'm trying to chastise her for
something (yeah, call me dense). So I watched her the rest of the day
and sure enough sometimes she would turn her whole head to do it and
sometimes she would just roll her eye outward. We called the
pediatrician today, I thought he'd probably just recommend a pediatric
opthamologist or optometrist, but he had her come in so he could take a
look. Actually, I was glad. With articles like this
out there, you can't be too careful -- and I'm glad he is
very careful. But he checked her vision and tracking, said it was fine
and talked to her a little. Turns out she's probably allergic to our
new wool rug. Her eyes are itching and she's rolling them around to wet
them and stop the itching. But her rolling has come to be a habit and
now she does it all the time. So he gave us an antihistimine to stop
the itching and she'll have to consciously stop the eye rolling -- not
easy! But at least it's not a too-mah.
