I'm not sure if you mean your having trouble with your son, Deb but if so, lets hope it's only a temporary thing.

right now, i have to tell you all something i did that was really goofy....i guess i got confused with getting up in the morning and coming home after a long day's work, but i shuffled into the kitchen this morning and went over to the wine rack, took down a crystal wine glass and poured myself a glass of merlot. my husband said, "excuse me! it's not even eight 0'clock yet!" and i looked down and was amazed to see a wine glass full of wine and not a coffee mug full of coffee! that'll learn me to hang the wine glasses next to the mugs LOL thank God, i didn't put the milk in it yet! i put saran wrap over the glass and am drinking it now

right now, i might have to make a one-day turn around trip to san luis on wednesday to see an apartment, then go back on friday to do the whole prom weekend. man, what we do for our kids! apartments in san luis are almost impossible to find. campus housing does not even guarantee for freshman, so about 14,000 people are looking for housing. sheesh!! add to that, he wants to have his cat......and we are down to maybe 2 choices!

right now, it's after 10:30 and probably still 85 or hotter here. the 5-day fair will be over in half an hour and i didn't go even once to see the exhibits, or the tigers, or the baby pigs racing for oreos and milk. the first year we lived here, i went all 5 days to look over and over at my kids' entries in the exhibit hall... and i had 35 preschool kids in the parade.... now, i don't even attend. right now, i am thinking what a great landi-hal-ketchum-dd weekend i had. and next week, it'll be an eggie one!

Right now I'll keep my fingers crossed that we won't be having this heat blast next weekend when I get to meet up with Tabs!! I just came in from hand watering the front lawn because it was so nice and cool and refreshing out there....I think I'll go do the backyard now and it'll take me about 2 hours to hand water back there...it's a very large backyard!! Yay!!

Right now I'm remembering my waterbed fondly. On hot, hot nights, I'd turn the heat way down, and crawl into a very cool bed... Right now I'm watching 10.5 on tape, and think I'm going to be having nightmares..

Right now, I'm a bit miffed. I called my newspaper about the damage to my window frame, and they told me I have to handle it myself with the carrier, who is an independant contractor with the newspaper. That doesn't seem right. I wonder if I should file a police report? They didn't even give me the carrier's phone number.... <sigh>

I would call back and speak to a manager. They hire these 'independant contactors'!

hahaha... Unit called me at work in a sleepy stupor and said to sue 'em. Someone has to be responsible, rotfl. I told him to get to work and file a report. . He said no. hahahaha Newspaper people are supposed to go and look at the damage and call me.

Right now I'm miffed too. Yesterday Caleb was complaining about a sore throat and had a stuffy nose. Spent most the day laying around not feeling well. This morning about 3 he came and climbed in bed with us in tears because he felt so lousy, and was running a fever on top of it. I gave him some tylenol cold medicine, he went to sleep. Alarm clock goes off for him to go to school, he wakes up in tears because he just doesn't feel good enough to go, I tell him to go back to sleep, he's staying home. Just called the school to report his absence, the receptionist tells me he can't be sick today they have state testing, can't I just bring him in for the morning and let him take his test then pick him up this afternoon. I told her no, I couldn't just bring him in for the morning, my poor 7 year old is already stressed out about these tests, he feels lousy, he's running a fever, besides, his class doesn't start the testing til Wednesday. She argued with me about it for a minute then said, oh wait, let me double check, he's in second grade, right? Yep they don't start til Wednesday. Argh, can I just bring him in for the morning! This is our first year for state testing, but I'm already learning to really dislike it!

Right now I'm gonna scream! ACCCKKK, sorry War, but you are so lucky I wasn't home to read that post earlier or I'd have called the school back to yell at them! ( Yes, I know it's the other coast and I don't even know what school he goes to but still!) I'm so proud of you not caving in, I'm sure some poor mothers would have thought they had to listen to the school rather than their own common sense.

They can fuss all they want to, my kid has a fever he's not going to school. He's feeling a little better now, so most likely he will be going tomorrow. Right now its 96 outside, and a full 10 degrees hotter inside. Swamp cooler is broken and has been since yesterday. When Mow didn't get it finished last night, I told him it wouldn't be a big deal since the kids had school today and I wouldn't be home in the afternoon when it got hot. LOL, should have sent Caleb to school, at least then we wouldn't be suffering here in the heat!

Right now I am glad. I just got back from the dentist. DH is icing his hand from my squeezing it. The xrays weren't bad. For my $49.00 visit, I had the panaromic xray AND digital camera xrays--no yucky plastic stuff gouging my gums. Decision was that I would have to be heavily sedated for the oral surgeon. Price estimate for the 20 extractions: $3380.00 ($155/each extraction and $280 for the sedation). Teeth being extracted: 3; 5-12, inclusive; 15; 18; 19; and 21-28, inclusive. The immediate maxillary denture and the immediate mandibular denture are $1500.00 each and there is something called reline complete maxillary and mandibular are $300.00/each. Apparently, I will see the dentist for 3-4 visits before the extractions. One to do a mold impression, one to do a bite determination, and the one to do something with wax. Once those are all set and arranged (and by gosh I am going to have a brilliant WHITE smile--none of this yellowish crap for me). Then, on the day I have the extractions, I'll also be given the dentures. Which strikes me as odd--shouldn't there be a healing time? Won't there be gum shrinkage? Ah well. On the way home, we UPS overnighted the treatment plan and the care credit dental credit card info to her. When we got home, I called mom and left messages outlining everything that I had UPS'ed her. When she called me back, she said we weren't doing the dental care plan. Instead, she is sending Tender Dental a check for $5K and telling them they will get the rest the day of my surgery. So, there is indeed a chance that this will get done before class in June. The oral surgeon knows that's my target.

Reader, walking around with golf shoes with spikes in the yard is a great aerator. A friend's DH did that but then made the mortal mistake of walking in the kitchen with them on - yep, the linoleum is now aerated!! Lkunkel, ouch , hope it all goes well!!

Right now, I am so glad that things worked out the way they are for you Lk! It sounds like you bravely made it through too. You should be proud of yourself. Things work out for a reason and there was a reason you didn't get with that other dentist. When my dh had his teeth pulled, they also gave him a temporary denture right away to wear.

Klunk, they do an 'immediate denture' so the gums heal to the shape of the denture. if they waited to put in the dentures, they wouldn't fit right. for most people, this is the real set of dentures, not a temporary one. but all dentists do things a little different from each other! glad you found a good one, after the nightmare with the other office!! can't wait to see pics with your new smile!

Right now, I'm glad Tabby was able to explain it to me. I was amused: the dentist asked me if I wanted white or ivory teeth at the end of the process. I said that given how much money people spend on whiteners, I wanted them as white as possible, thank you very much. He laughed. I told him I haven't liked my smile since 1994--the date I got the picture taken in my profile. I figure I deserve white teeth and a chance to really smile.
