Dental Conspiracy

Recently, I have had a lot of dental work done. One root canal, a crown, five fillings and I still need to have a filling replaced. It is a little embarrassing, because I feel like I really do have a jank mouth. Also, JR has given me a really hard time about it, while he was busy bragging about how he never has any problems with his teeth.

JR started complaining Sunday evening about his tooth and jaw hurting. The pain got progressively worse until he made a dental appointment for yesterday morning. After the dentist looked at his x-ray, it was quickly decided that he needed a root canal right away. JR didn't take the news very well. To quote him "I just can't believe this has happened. I take good care of my teeth. I just can't believe that this has gone down".

I took a picture of him while his mouth was still numbed up.

One Of Those Days

It has been one of my cynical days again when I hate people and feel super self righteous. It is very unbecoming, however unavoidable. Ninety-five percent of the people that I have interacted with today have been perceived by me as idiots. I really hate days like this. Many times it is co-workers that drive me crazy. Not the co-workers that work in the office with me, but the ones that work in a building in another state. The majority of our communication is via email which can get a little snippy at times. It reminds me of how people don't mind flipping each other off in a car or swearing from a car. There's a barrier that keeps the perpetrator feeling safe. I try to be nice, but I know that I come across condescendingly. I just want them to know how freaking stupid they are, but in a nice way.

Last night we had a going away gathering for one of our co-workers. I actually like the vast majority of the people that attended, so it was a pleasant experience. The bad part was driving home in a terrible storm with science fiction movie style lightening popping all around the car. I drove 35mph most of the way with what my friend Gail referred to as "the pace car" leading the way in front of me.

Vacations Always Have To End

I had a great time this past week visiting with my family in Florida. It was great to be away from work for a week. Coy has entered a new phase. He is trying to walk, but doesn't have the coordination yet. He crawls everywhere and pull up on everything and only wants to play with things that are not baby approved. It is exhausting, but it is so much fun at the same time. I love watching him learn to do new things and become more aware of his environment.

Random: I just saw a commercial for this new workout equipment called the Shake Weight. It is the weirdest thing I have ever seen and I will be completely appalled if anyone that I know ever buys one or uses one. I could barely watch the commercial without gagging. Please do not ever use one!

Coy misses Tiny B, Doc, Aunt JaMollie, and Geg!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Happy Father's Day to all of the good dad's out there!

Weekend Update

Coy and I both had colds this weekend. I hate being sick, but even more having to care for someone else that is sick while I am sick. Coy is crawling everywhere now and he is pulling up on things, so it won't be long before we have to put everything out of his reach.

I'm just counting down the days til vacation!

Fun and Not So Fun Facts For Today

*Coy is nine months old today. I can't believe it has already been nine months. It went by so quickly. Being pregnant for nine months....not so quickly.

*We discovered that we have termites. The pest control people are at my house today eliminating them, so that I will not feel like I live at Joe's Place. Thankfully, they were isolated to one area and we caught them before they did thousands of dollars in damage.

*I had a facial last night at the spa. It was amazing. However, after she examined my skin, she suggested a treatment called the four layer face lift. I initially requested the organic facial, so I am not sure how to feel about her suggestion. I think I am getting old and I think that it must show.

Happy Saturday
