[photopress:outletsp.jpg,full,alignright] So a couple of years ago I started seeing Crocs pop up all over the place at trade shows. Now, they are everywhere. I broke down and bought a pair last summer and now I have several different styles. I have a pair suitable for each season I think. I love them and I can’t say enough about how comfortable they are and easy to maintain. I’m on my feet a lot and I chase after three kids, and again, I can’t say enough about these shoes. That being said, at the moment I’m pretty cheesed off at Crocs. I ordered one of the new Spring release shoes on the 24th of April. A few days later I got an email saying there were out of stock. So I called and said just to replace the color I ordered with something that was in stock. So that was all taken care of on the 30th. Yet here I sit on May 10th waiting for my shoes. I’ve called several times now, including today, and was told at least the last three times that they were shipping that day. As of the call I made today they still have not shipped and all I get is the run around. One person will they me they are out of stock, and then come back to the line to tell me oh maybe they are in stock. Bottom line, I don’t have my shoes, and not a single person at Crocs seems to be able to tell me why.  If I log in tomorrow morning and they still haven’t shipped I am really going to hit the roof.  Ok rant over..

Ethan has an eye appointment today.  I have terrible eyesight, and I have ever finger I have crossed that he does not have the same issue.  It is actually another issue entirely that has be taking him in.  My little Ethan has had this facial tic with his left eye for years.  That being said, it is something that seems to come and go.  I’d say he has gone a good 6 months or so with no tic at all.  However, now they are back, BAD.  We went up to the school a week or two ago and his teacher actually commented about it, so I figure it is time to take him in.  Frankly I wasn’t really sure where to start so I thought the eye doctor might be a good starting point.  So that is where we are headed today.  The fact that he could use an eye exam is just gravy if you know what I mean.  Anyway, I’m not sure what will come of it, if anything at all.  I’ve been doing to research on it and I’ve read that some children just have a childhood tic and that for the most part it is something that they grow out of.  I don’t know what to think of it.

Ok I’m off to get Ethan from school soon.  Wish us luck!
