I got new glasses this week-after about 7 years! And do you know what I like about these glasses? I think they make me look smarter. And sometimes I want to look smarter. Because I am smart. And I used to be really smart. It was my thing, my identity. But as I wheel four messy kids around the commissary I don't think I'm quite the picture of a National Merit Scholar anymore. That's just fine with me most of the time. But every once in a while, I just want people to know. And that's when you'll see me in my new glasses.

this is my serious face. I'm thinking of lots of smart things.

PS. Don't these pictures look great all spiffed up? My new favorite photo editor- picnik.com!
PSS. I'm going out on a limb writing about how smart I am in a post which undoubtedly includes plenty of grammtical errors. Don't judge me. I also birthed 4 kids in less than 6 years.

Maybe a smart @@@!! Just kidding, they look great on you. Love 'em. I miss not wearing my glasses sometimes.
I'd like the world to know that you are one of the smartest, not to mention most creative people I know, glasses or not (although they are quite cute), and don't worry about momentary fogginess of the mind because just like the boobs, the brain perks up after a couple of years postpartum. It's true!
Love them. And, for the record, I think you're wicked smart!
I love it! I need new glasses too...because I can't see!
sometimes I just want to yell to my whole house, "I was magna cum laude. Does anyone care?" ha ha. Love ya.
I am with you on the smart issue. When people ask what I do for a living I am proud to say that I am a stay at home mom, but a part of me wants to scream, "But I used to be a high school math teacher!" Anyhow, thank you for being an inspiration to me that I CAN have four children in less than six years and keep my sanity.
Yes, those glasses not only make you look smart but uber cool. Not a bad combination! :)
