  • The weekend brought many things.

    1)  Went to Wal-Mart to do grocery shopping on a Saturday!!!     ???  I’m crazy, I know!!!!!

    2)   Drove the girls and me to Sunday church service . . . late.  But, not as late as last Sunday!  It was unbelievably cold!

    3)  Went to Whispering Pines church (Church of Christ) Sunday afternoon for their 4pm worship service.  There were some people who don’t always attend Wednesday night, so it was good to see them.

    4)  The  weather turned bitterly cold.  Saturday brought cold northerly winds.  But, on Sunday, we had a fine mist on top of cold temperatures and we frantically looked for church clothes that were warm enough for us!  Fortunately, they are still piled in our bedrooms and were easy to get to!

        

         
       

    5)  Our family and the pets snuggled to keep warm.  We brought out one of Little Bit’s sweaters, since his fur has been shaved for the summer weather. 

    We found him on Jesse’s side of the bed Saturday night UNDER the sheets and blankets!!!!

                   
                                                                      Gotta love those cute pets!

    6)  Then there was the OTHER thing that happened Saturday night . . .

             
                                                    C’mon!  Show me those big pearly whites!

    Can’t believe it happened AGAIN!!!! 

            

    They fell out February 11th, 2 days after my surgery.  I went to the dentist on February 22nd, after avoiding and hiding from people (it’s VERY  embarrassing, since one tooth is ground down to a spike!). 

    Then, they fell out again, March 6th.  I went back to the dentist on March 9th to fix them – this time, no charge.

    And, here we are on Saturday, March 26th, toothless again!!!  And, I was eating a McDonald’s SOFT fish sandwich when they fell out!

    I just can’t imagine the problem. 

    They were put in years ago and first popped out during my chemo therapy, on Father’s Day of 2009.  They’ve stayed put since then.  I’ve even been wearing my bleaching trays (a plastic mold of your own teeth you wear when professionally bleaching your teeth) at night to prevent me from grinding my teeth – IF grinding is even the problem.

    So, Wednesday I’ll be back at the dentist.

            

    I can’t go tomorrow because it’s Annamarie’s birthday AND, because Luci has a doctor’s appointment,  She’s been complaining for weeks about her stomach hurting and has thrown up several times (threw up again this morning) and Jesse is thinking her daily medications might be giving her stomach issues, rather than her having a recurring stomach bug. 

    So, I get to take her to the doctor at noon, while Annamarie spends the afternoon with her Dad.

    Tomorrow evening, Stephanie and JanaLyn will be here to have a steak dinner to celebrate Annamarie’s birthday.  I sure hope Luci is well enough to enjoy herself!

    And that’s about everything from Friday to Monday!

    Be Blessed  ~

  • Oh, my that is a lot for the teeth to fall out like that.  I know that I had broken my front tooth off and had it repaired.  It kept breaking off over and over till I finally gave up and got a bridge and my other front tooth broke off at the same time.  I know how self conscious it can make you.

  • @oldfatgramma - The tooth next to the big front tooth is missing (it was a baby tooth that was finally pulled about 10 years ago. That’s when the dentist put a cap on the 3rd tooth with a fake 2nd tooth just hanging in the middle of the empty space. It’s like a bridge, but is only attached to the 3rd tooth. Two weeks ago, I asked him to put some veneer or cement behind the big tooth, too, to attached the “hanging in the gap” fake second tooth to the big one (support coming from both sides). All of his cement is stuck to my teeth, but the cap/bridge just came away slick and clean. The cement stuck to the “snaggled tooth” makes it all the more unattractive! We don’t have dental insurance and the cost of implants (and the fee for putting me asleep) is more than I want to imagine right now!!!!

  • That has to be extremely frustrating…

    We have cold weather here again, too. I’m not amused. Poor Lil’ Bit… looks so cold!

    Happy birthday to Annamarie!

  • I think I should have become a dentist! Those poeple make SO MUCH money! It makes me sick … Ryder is 4 and we need to invest money in his baby teethe,getting them crowned! what to do what to do! Well I am SO happy to see you here again, I sure have been missing you. How have you been feeling?

    love ya~ Sarah
