MY DAY PRODUCTIVE IF NOTHING ELSE

I have had a very busy day. I had so many appointments, I used a personal day and didn't work at all.

It started here at the optometrist. Where we decided I would continue with the same contacts but wear readers for up close. Yea Me!

Then on to the DMV to renew my drivers license. Very quick and uneventful.


On to the endodontist(sp?) where luckily I didn't have to do the root canal but it is because he felt it was a waste of time and money because the tooth will not support a crown so I will have to get it pulled. I am so angry at my dentist, they started the root canal on this tooth a month ago and told me it was calcified and sent me to the endo. They shouldn't have even started the root canal knowing the tooth would not support a crown. They are just money hungry, I've decided. So now I have to find a new dentist to do the extraction. Oh and they recommended the tooth next to it get a root canal too but the endo tested it and it is perfectly healthy and normal! Do not go to Pinnacle Hills Dental they are a rip off !

I had to pick up Coco at my Mom's and since I was a little early we decided to hit target and walmart for school supplies. Buying school supplies is my favorite thing to d0! We couldn't find the list for her school so we used a few lists and merged them together. If we are missing something we can always go back. I also pick up extras for throughout the year while they are on sale. We also fill a backpack for another child so these prices are great. I was naive last year when I heard about the backpacks but I talked to our school and there are always several children on the first day that show up with nothing. That is so sad to me. So buy some extra crayons and pencils for your school or hook up with the local KLRC they are filling backpacks.

We had to make a stop here to pickup a order Scott called in.

We were in Kohls and Coco got this little friend which she buckled up in the back seat. He is nameless right now but that won't last for long. She names them all.

We made a few more stops before heading home and it ended up being a great day with lots of things accomplished and even some that weren't planned!

I have to tell you a funny story. We were standing in Walmart looking at the reading glasses in the pharmacy dept. I hear this man ask the girl behind the pharmacy counter where the vibrators are. Oh you could have heard a pin drop, everyone turned to look and it is this older man in one of the wheelchair carts. The clerk asked him to repeat himself, so he did. She must have just looked at him, but then she asked what type and he said for his muscles. I think he meant a massager! That poor little clerk was a young one and her facial expression after he took off was priceless, then all the ladies around us started laughing. I was quite exciting!

METAL MOUTH, BRACE FACE ETC.

I am not being mean this is just what I thought of today after Coco got her appliance in. I think she looks so cute with it. She chose black and hot pink bands. She did really well through it all. She got a little anxious when she couldn't swallow and that band was over her mouth and she couldn't move her tongue but with some deep breathing we made it.

Isn't she just a doll. She will love it that I put all this on the blog!!! HA

Watching animal planet! Her dentist is so cool! Why didn't they have this when I was a kid. All I got was a grumpy old man with the shakes. I think we found out years later that he had a slight drinking problem.

So are ya'll worried about the swine flu? I am getting a little worried, I heard tonight that there are 6 confirmed cases in Benton county. I think I will be staying close to home and out of the public for a while. Why can't they just close the borders??? I know it is nearly impossible but at least they could try. Maybe we should flood our senators, congressman and white house with emails to close it and quarantine some of these folks..... What do you think?

TGIF tomorrow!

Welcome Back

Monday I went back to my old job. This is what was waiting for me! We were still eating on it today and there is plenty left for tomorrow! So yummy!

My cube! Home away from home you could say!

I have had a good week so far. At first I thought I had forgotten everything I ever knew about processing mortgage loans but now I am having trouble using the new passwords instead of the old ones. Which amazingly came back to me. Sometimes it is just like my mouse just goes where it is supposed to without me even thinking about it.

It is good to be back there, it feels like home! With some crazy relatives that I won't claim! :)

Tomorrow is Coco's day to go to the dentist. She will be having the contraption below put in along with braces on her 4 front teeth. This will expand her whatever so the whatever will come in correctly to the tune of $1850.00. That is ok, I only had to pay $320, thank the good Lord for dental insurance. This is called a quad helix expander and she really does need it to make room for all her teeth to come down straight. It does not however guarantee we won't need braces later on, though.

Thank you all for the sweet comments left on my last post. Ya'll are great bloggy friends. Sorry I have been slacking again, there just aren't enough hours in my day.

Please say a little prayer for my girl tomorrow, she is excited and doesn't seem nervous but I know after it is in she will be whinning and wanting me to remove it! Hopefully it will just be uncomfortable for a couple of days. I plan to explain to her what a wonderful time this is, it is not everyday you get an excuse to eat only ice cream and chocolate milkshakes!!!!!!

Blessings,
