Anti-Dent-ite

I'm not an Anti-Dentite. I really liked some of the dentists I've had. But maybe not this time.

I got a root canal last Tuesday. And of course, it's not her fault... or is it. I'm just so sad because I hadn't seen the dentist in 2 years (since I got married) and after that last pre-marrital visit I vowed to floss once to twice a day. I did a killer job.

So I go to the dentist last month, just for "a good one" - or because we have insurance now and I have one cavity and I need a crown. I accepted that because I had some problems with one tooth before, and I can be ok with one cavity. But 4 weeks later here I am with 1 filling, TWO crowns, and a root canal. One tooth chipped after a cleaning, verifying that I need a second crown. And after MUCH pain it was confirmed I needed a root canal.

I would like to note that I had NO pain when I went in for my first visit.

Brett says it's really a blessing because I probably needed all those crowns and a root canal for a while, but it only showed up when we got insurance and were able to pay for it- as opposed to showing up when we were in school and insurance-less.

He's probably right.

However, here are some conversations between my dentist and my hygenist that have may poisioned me against her.

Hygenist: "So Dr. have you been feeling better?"

Dentist: " Oh blah, I'm just getting rid of this cold. My daughter was laid up with me all weekend, but we're finally getting better."

Me (in my head-because she has her hands in my mouth):... GET YOUR HANDS OUT OF MY MOUTH IF YOU'RE SICK!!!!!!!!!

conversation #2

Hygenist: So Dr. have you gotten your halloween costume yet? (yes, the hygenist always starts out these cheesy fake conversations by saying So, Dr.)

Dentist: Yes, I bought my daughter a witch costume for only $38. What a steal!

Hygenist: $38 - that is a really good deal.

Me (in my head): uhhh... what happened to a $2 hat from WalMart and $3 dress from D.I.? I guess I know why I magically need to see the dentist every week for random things....

Or maybe I should have brushed more when I was younger.... sigh.....

Thoughts From a Crazy Stay-In-Home Mom

Right now I'm a "stay-in-home mom." It's been hard to get out the door and it's driving me a little nuts. So here are some thoughts I've been stewing in lately, decored by some unrelated pictures.

Here is Marie in my favorite NewBorn outfit. My little Sailor Girl. I can't believe she's almost grown out of this... oh sad!

Epidurals are great, I wish I could hand them out for Halloween, just so everyone could know how great they are.

I know my dad isn't gonna like this picture. He isn't always this mad. Maybe Obama was on TV and that's why he's so mad. Marie looks secure though. I bet he's thinking "Don't worry Marie, I will protect you from a liberal, fascist America!"

I wanna vaccinate Marie, but my mom informed me that I haven't been vaccinated with most vaccines. And here I am. Alive and well. A total jerk sometimes.. but alive and well.

Proud Grandpas. Can't get enough pictures!

(haha but I forgot to take any last weekend when she got blessed! AAK!)

Marie is getting her shots on October 6th. I can't decide whether to space them out though. I'm afraid she'll have a reaction by combining them. Hmm like an epidural, I can't find a real good case against vaccines. So far I'm in love with modern medicine... but I'm still questioning "the man" so as he won't metaphorically "hold me down."

Aww! Scriptures+a baby+ a grandpa= super peaceful home.

Ron was so rad to fly out for Marie's blessing. However, we were not rad for not celebrating his birthday while he was here. If you are reading this you should comment and tell us how to make it up to him. We are crappy.


Marie has officially grown out of this outfit!!! I'm gonna cry.

I rented a book on potty training yesterday. However, once I got home it made me so sad to think of her that grown up. I guess I would be even sadder though if I was wiping her bum when she is 12.

I just hope I feel that good about the vaccines. I am hoping worst case scenario is that Marie will turn into some X-Men like character and have super powers. I hope she can fly. ... or start pooping money. That would be great to.

Blame Me or Thank Me

If you are one of those people that becomes upset when stores sell holiday gear WAY to early- you can blame me. I snatch it up like I'm havin' a heart attack.
I'd like to thank Target for these little impulse buys.

Poor girl. She thinks if she just goes limp we will leave her alone. Sorry Princess, as long as they sell it in your size and it's a $1- you're gonna end up wearing it.
Muhahahaha.....
