Wednesday Woes

I have no woes. My woes are trivial and downright flighty, in light of world news.

Nonetheless, I will say that mouth pain can really effect your overall health. I think.....I really think....I'm on the mend with this mouth stuff. I see the doctor again tomorrow and hope to receive good news.....that everything's healing, etc.

I need it to as well. I have things to do and places to go. For example, field day at ECA is Friday. I'm working the "costume relay." By the way, what is that? I will find out and pass that valuable info along shortly. The kids have Awards Night tomorrow night too. I'm going to be surprised and not ask the kids what they're getting. They may not know anyway. :)

Rain. Springtime in Ky can go either way. Sunny and 85 degrees one day....50 and cloudy the next day. Summer will be here soon and cool weather gone....for a few months. :)

My life is boring right now. Man, I need my mouth back! :)

Mouth Madness

I had my 2nd mouth surgery yesterday and hopefully, the last one. Dr. Hargan found that the cell membrane that he placed 2 weeks ago didn't adjust so well to my body. In fact, his exact words were, "Your body ate the membrane up." Uh...pleasant sounding I know. Sounds painful and it has been. Yesterday the doctor placed another membrane, and hopefully, I'll be on the mend.

All this has really affected how much I speak. I choose my words carefully and don't want to say something twice. I haven't been talking on the phone much at all. A few words here and there have been it. Whew, there may be huge lessons in all this on talking, huh? :)

Taking it easy includes watching TV and surfing the web/checking email, etc. Let's just say I've learned I can't be a couch potato....or a slug. All that stuff gets so old. I want to get out, shoot, I'd like to feel like doing my house stuff. :) Beautiful day outside and I'm stuck in the house with my laptop and the Waltons on the tube.

The Waltons. Classic TV. I loved the show as a kid and just as much as an adult. What a simple time that show depicts. Now, don't get me wrong. Modern day gadgets and conveniences are nice. The family closeness is what I'm referring to. Man, on the show, the siblings get along and are so respectful of each other. The parents exemplify the kind of marriage where the man and woman tough things out. They're in it for the long haul. Commitment. I like that. That's the kind of shows that need to be produced today.

It's a sad day when I blog about TV. Truth be told, American Idol is the only TV we watch on a regular basis. We're not big TV people. Speaking of American Idol.....it's Tuesday! Only 3 contestants left......:)

Whew.....what a week...& it's only Tuesday...

As I've shared many times before, I am a stay-home-mom. I think I'm changing that name, because staying home is like, the last thing I do. Who invented that name anyway? Hmmmm.

What a week it's been. I survived the dental implants and extraction. Barely, but I did survive. Let me just say that hydrocodone doesn't take away all the pain. Who knew? I now don't understand why someone would be addicted to that drug.....it's not all it's cracked up to be. Nothing could numb the pain of the feeling a jillion knives penetrating into my jawbone.

I'm better today, not pain-free, but better. I've worked outside all day. I've never had a green thumb, but I sure am planting flowers like someone with a green thumb might. :) I've laid down that black paper that keeps weeds from coming up, spread 12 bags of mulch. (By the way, mulch on your skin when it's hot is the pits.) My backyard looks better and is hopefully closer to being ready or all the DuPlessis' coming over Sunday for Mother's Day. My parents are coming too as is my brother and his family. I hope it's a nice day.

I must go now and get a shower. Get the kids in an hour and then I'll continue my "stay-home mom" job. Yea, whatever. :) Run, run, run. :)

I love what I do and thank the Lord for the blessings in my life.

Teeth......under-rated

Teeth.

Teeth are like water. You don't realize how much you need them until you don't have them. Same goes for electricity. Well, teeth are right up there near the top.

I had 2 dental implants this week, and one extraction. Also, I had one extraction a month ago. Teeth are going out.....teeth are going in. :) I don't like this trend at all. :)

I see Dr. Hargan again today. He's done a fantastic job, I'm just sore. I need to go see if my soreness is "normal."

I've learned some things from being "down for the count" this week.

Daytime TV. Totally ridiculous and obnoxious. I need a phenergan just to get through the "View", and Barbara Walters. (What's all this with Barbara Wa-Wa this week anyway?) All these talk shows are so boring. I told Jim last night that I couldn't be a couch potato. It's not in me. I don't have patience for it. Moving and shaking...that's where I need to be. Being productive.

I'm excited about my kids going to the state bible drill tomorrow!!
