My dentist appointment was pretty good starting, but this was the really, really, really, really, really hard part. They had to take out my teeth. One tooth, actually two teeth, while I was awake. That really hurted, actually. That really, really, really, really, really, really hurted. It was hurting so bad that it almost made me jump out of the chair. They didn’t have me strapped all the way so I could jump out of the chair. And I screamed and I went to you guys. But I really—actually i didn’t go to anyone. They caught me. They caught me right away cuz I was—you know. I really hurted though. So I couldn’t get out. They strapped me all the way in and I couldn’t get out. And they put this blood pressure thing on me because—and then it went “pssshhhht.” It squished me so hard. It squished. I was so hurt. It was on me until I woke up. It was so bleeding. My teeth, they were bleeding so bad. And that’s really the truth. Well, that’s almost the end. And then they let me go to my Mommy and Daddy. The End.
My days have started way too early all this week! It started on Monday when there was a storm that woke the baby. My husband, daughter and I all sleep like logs- nothing will wake us- but Brenia is such a light sleeper.
Tuesday was an early morning consultation at a hospital an hour away. My 6-year-old is having dental surgery at the children’s hospital. Years of juice and poor brushing habits have eaten away at her teeth. They are pulling 5 and filling some more. She’s so nervous about it that they have to do it in the operating room with general anesthesia. Anyway, that wasn’t the point of this story- so you know I got up early on Tuesday.
Wednesday had things settling down a bit, so I thought we’d get back to normal, but no…
My husband has this idiot friend at work. They have decided to carpool (nevermind the wives have suggested it for a year- now they think it’s their great idea!) He comes Thursday morning, calling twice on the way! I was relieved to find the baby still sleeping. Then he gets here and rings the doorbell- not once- but twice! Of course, baby is awake too early!
Today, you’d think he would know to be quiet with me having threatened to kill him and all. No, he has to honk his horn at 7:30 in the morning and, yes, wake the baby!
It’s not that I sleep until noon. I’m up by 8 every morning. It’s just that usually I have some time for me to shower, dress and mentally prepare for my day before the girls are up. When I hit the ground running it feels like I spend the whole day behind. Five days straight of that and I’m pooped!
I remember Wonder Woman Underoos. I even had some awesome red Wonder Woman boots too! I was all of 4 at the time. Now I am 20-something but, if I choose, I can once again wear Wonder Woman Underoos! The other night I went to Target, stopped by the lingerie section and there they were in all their grown-up glory- underoos. Racks and racks of adult-size women’s panties with superhero logos on the front!
Kroger is tripling coupons up to 50 cents and doubling coupons up to a dollar this week. This is so much fun. I came out with an overflowing cartload of groceries for $80! I saved over 300 bucks on my total order. Now, in the spirit of competition, Marsh is tripling coupons up to 60 cents and doubling up to a dollar. Naturally, I have to go grab my free food there too!
I won’t be spending much money this time. I got everything I needed Monday. Now I’m on a mission for free stuff. I got 4 packages of Keebler Fudge Shoppe cookies for free at Kroger- Yum! Don’t tell my hubby! I hide my good food! I’d love to post my receipt so I can show off what I did, but it is taller than me (and I’m almost 6 foot!) so it won’t fit on the scanner. All I can say is it is pretty!
I have to go shopping now!
So this weekend is the first one in 8 weeks that isn’t packed full. We have been so busy lately with random stuff. The last couple days have been surprisingly relaxing. Of course, I have chosen to fill my time with shopping. That pleases the hubby immensely, I’m sure! To my credit, I no longer collect clutter. It is not just useless shopping to pass the time. I am actually working on Christmas. I’m nearly done with my girls and have a pretty good jump on the rest of my list.
The only thing on my calendar this weekend is an open house I am going to so I can buy 3 more gifts (and filling my frequent shopper card at the same time so I can get a free gift for me!) Next stop, Bath & Body! I got some great coupons in the mail last week. Spencer thinks it’s great since I’ll be saving money. What he doesn’t know is that I’ll actually use it to get me some things for free! I have to have bath bubbles if I am to take a bubble bath every night, right?!
