Clarification

I guess I need to clarify that I only lost half of a back molar. I think I left many of you with the mental image of me without a top front tooth or something. The tooth actually needed a root canal, but I was milking it due to the whole insurance thing. Of course now I'll be going in earlier and probably end up with a partial. It's a bummer but it could be a lot worse. I really did not realize how weak the tooth was and it chipped off very easily. Lesson learned I suppose...

Breaking the Ice

When I first started blogging close to 3 years ago I wasn't really sure what my goal was. I knew that I wanted to keep a record of the girls lives. I also knew that someday I would want something to look back on and really remember what my life was like from day to day. I debated making my page private and decided against it. I figured I might as well keep a journal in the nightstand and put my pictures in photo albums if I really didn't want people to read my thoughts or see the pictures. So I guess what I'm getting at is, feel free to drop me a comment. I love getting them even if I have no idea who you are. Who knows maybe we could even be friends?

Update on the Update and the Tooth Fairy

I went this morning and got my wallet back. It was funny because my old drivers license was inside but they still made me show them my new one. Meaning that even if I would've held out and not gotten a new one I would have needed to go get a new one just to claim the old one. Whatever..

In other news the Tooth Fairy will be making a visit at our house tonight. I'm not sure how much she'll leave but I hope it's good. Maybe even enough to cover the huge dental bill I'm going to have. Yeah that's right, I'm the one that lost the tooth. Only 9 more months and my insurance will be nice enough to cover a portion of the bill. Isn't that sweet of them? Oh well Chiggie made me feel a lot better when she said, "does this mean you're turning into an old lady?" Why yes, I think it might!

Still Working

And I thought I'd post a few pictures to prove it. I'm done with the upstairs and that is a huge relief. The toppers and blinds have all been washed and hung back up, drawers sorted through, and mattresses flipped. Now if I could just afford to have the downstairs hired out.....

Frustration *Updated*

Remember in December when I lost my wallet? Well, I forgot to mention it, but it turns out it wasn't lost at all. About three weeks ago I received a call from the Sheriff's Office informing me that my wallet had been turned in by a county road crew. It was found off of a county road in the mountains quite a while from where I last had it. I was told all that was left inside was my library card and drivers license. No cash and of course no debit card. I was disappointed. Not really so much that the money was gone as the fact that my wallet was actually stolen.

I had convinced myself that I had lost it somewhere and really I'd made peace with that. It bothers me that it was stolen. I had already bought a new wallet, cancelled my bank card, and been through the brutal DMV process so the fact that it had been found brought me no real solace. Long story short I never went and got it. Tonight a Sgt. called me and was unbelievably rude. When I apologized and said that I would come and get it in the morning he acted like that wasn't soon enough. He said he would just bring it to the house around seven. Like even having it at the office another day would be a huge inconvenience. To make matters worse he still hasn't shown up. I'm assuming he had to respond to something higher in priority like say a report of cow tipping or maybe even mud bogging. Sheesh I'm the victim here ....

*He never showed up. He finally called around 10pm and asked how late I was going to be up. I told him not to come that I would be there to pick it up. I'll go this morning and get it out of their way.*

Overdue

With all the work being done to the house I fell behind on the cleaning. Like, waaaaaayyyyy behind. Good thing it's time for spring cleaning anyway right? So I woke up today with a skip in my step ready to take on the world. Well, my corner of it anyway. I went upstairs, cleaning supplies in hand, and started in the upper left corner. The goal of course being to work my way from top to bottom. I took down blinds and scrubbed them. I washed the bed clothes. Of course I had to stop to change a few diapers and make a few meals, but for the most part I stayed on task.

The good news is the work that I have done is great. Sparkling and fresh smelling for sure. The bad news is I've cleaned two rooms. The upstairs bathroom and Chiggie's room. So only 9 more rooms to go. At this rate I'll be done by the time Chiggie goes back to school in the fall. Just in time to head back upstairs and start over again.
