I got two cavities filled this morning. It wasn't so bad, which is good because I have to go back for another one next week. He wouldn't do both sides on the same day, and I appreciate that now that I can at least feel PART of my face. This numbness needs to go away now. I'm hungry and chewing is hard. I fed myself little bits of donut in the ( Read more... )

The good thing about our dental office is that it's right around the corner from Sea World. So I only had to pull Casey away for about an hour and a half for our appointments before dropping her back off with the group. And now I get the next 3 or 4 hours to myself! Which leads me to ( Read more... )

Willow is not the least bit interested in that talking ball my parents got her. That is until Casey shows interest in it. Then she's all over it, LOL. Last night we played keep away, tossing the ball back and forth while she lept in the air trying to catch it. And then once she got it, she tossed it aside, grabbed Casey's cell phone and took ( Read more... )

Casey had youth group last night, and they did confession. She was really nervous about it, having only done it once before when she was about 8. So she couldn't remember what to say or anything. But they were really good about helping them. All the kids got cards that told them exactly what to say, and pamphlets to read that would help them ( Read more... )

I'm not feeling so good today. My sinuses are all wacky and my throat hurts. I really hope it's just allergies, because I can't be sick if I'm leaving tomorrow to go visit family. Bleh. My throat has been scratchy since Sunday, and yesterday when a co-worker saw me sucking on cough drops, she recommended I take some Airborne. I'd heard it was ( Read more... )

The dentist yesterday was great. Who doesn't like having their gums poked and prodded by a sharp instrument? Wee. But hey, my teeth are pretty shiny now, so it's all good. They had Casey rinse with some of that fluoride treatment, and she complained for the next 20 minutes or so that her mouth was burning. I never heard of that happening. ( Read more... )

This morning I had the dental appointment from hell. Since it had been a couple of years since my last cleaning, I had to get this really thorough one. She started by putting this gel stuff that tasted kind of like strawberries on my gums. It turned them numb. I think I swallowed some because for a minute it felt like my throat was closing.

I get tons of spam in my AOL mailbox, and I can usually tell and just delete it right away. Casey is jealous of me every time I open my mail and I have 40 emails, and every time she says it’s not fair, I tell her it’s all spam. She’s the one that’s lucky she doesn’t get any of that crap. So today I opened one because I thought it might be spam, ( Read more... )
