Thinking Out Loud.....

Have fun Sandy!!!!

Thinking of you and sending hugs, (((Deb))).

Thank you Chris - I think tonight my mouth is only bothering my husband   Todays surgeon feels that the bone infection has resolved, finally.  Why I had to see so many people, I don't know - maybe their numbers are down.  Dentist, endodontist, periodontist, some other dental surgeon.....anyway, I am better.  I bet DH wishes I were not moving my mouth so much today

Did you decide to talk with the recruiter?

Sandy - have fun at the beach!

Sheila - hope your dinner tonight was fun!  I'm disappointed but not surprised that DIL canceld my trip.  I'm ok with it - I;ll wait for her to need me   And she will.

So many difficult decisions - when is it exactly that life gets easy?

((((((Deb)))))) 

Diane - lol your mouth bothering your DH- isn't that the case with all of us? I didn't call the recruiter.  I did call the other lady to tell her I was already working at another store.  I haven't had the nerve to call the recruiter.  I'm sure that wouldn't go anywhere.  I really should call though - I don't think this job is going to work out - too stressful.  I really need to maximize my income and I don't think I could handle more hours - i frequently look at the time and see I have hours left to go and say to myself "get me out of here..."  I just hate not knowing what I need to know to do the job without having to interrupt other people to ask questions and/or make customers wait while I try to figure something out.  I know that's the nature of being new - but I hate it - and I don't know how long it will take for me to know enough for the times when I don't know something to be few and far enough between that they don't bother me that much.  Oftentimes, I wrack my brain trying to think of how I can find out what the problem is with something only to find out it was something someone else already knew about and it was an unusual problem.  So sometimes I ask right away and it was something I should have figured out on my own and I feel/look stupid and other times I make the customer wait while I try to figure it out on my own and then find out I should have asked.  So frustrating.  So part of me wishes the recruiter had another job for me and part of me feels like I couldn't do that job either...  Must...stay...under...my....rock....

I'm glad you were able to be rescued, Joan.  It is scary with no pay phones around anymore. 

So - DS had his braces off a few months ago.  One of his 2 top front teeth was longer than the other.  The orthodontist added some composite to the bottom of the shorter tooth.  Then DS somehow chipped the bottom of that tooth. I THOUGHT he just chipped the composite - so I figured they could just take it off.  i should have just kept putting composite on that tooth as an option to consider doing at a later date and not had him do it that day.  NOW the dentist says the bottom of the tooth itself is chipped and he has to fix it.  No wonder the orthodontist didn't want to fix it when I told him about it when we went for a retainer check.  He could probably see it was the tooth and not the composite that was chipped.  Now DS is going to have to deal with a problem tooth for the rest of his life because I was surprised/disappointed that his teeth were uneven.  They actually looked crooked to me - but I couldn't tell if it was an optical illusion because one tooth was longer than the other (the gum line was straight) and the gum tissue between 2 other teeth made another tooth look crooked. When you spend $6000 having your kid's teeth straightened, you kind of want them to be straight, right?  So now I've f'd up my kid's teeth forever - who knows how many more times his tooth will chip or crack because there is composite on the end of it. (DD has a friend who broke one of her front teeth and she has had to have the repair redone once already.)   Why do I keep f-ing up my kids' lives?  I should leave well enough alone...  (He isn't upset by it - or at least he said he isn't - maybe he knows how upset I am and just doesn't want me to be upset.)    

Christ....possibly a porcelin (spelling?) sometime later..........don't beat yourself up......there is always a solution..........

Chris - my son has had composite on his front tooth for 3 years now - it will probably be ok and if not, another option will arise.  Can we sing "money, money, money...."?

Morning Sheila.

Where is Linda this week?  On the Cape???!!!

Deb - hope you are taking care of you.

Meece and Joan - yup, a bit upsetting, but not surprising. I kind of suspected it might happen that way. I know I won't be there for quite a long time now because her mom will be there for two weeks and then her dad and then they need a break from company.  It is rare that a DIL allows the same access to a MIL as their own mothers.

My mouth is ok today.

Diane, you're funny!  Your mouth is bothering your husband!!

((((Deb))))

What a cutie Meece!

I am here, just busy.  Prom tonight.

hahahaha!!  no!!!  And he better not either!

Hi Sheila.....weather here is nice too.



Granddaughter's prom tomorrow night, and her gown is unbelievable..saw a picture during alterations...she is 5ft 9in.....and a natural blonde beauty, can't wait to see her....

Thinking of Deb....

Sheila, I was thinking the same thing....I looked at the pix finally...am always so busy doing whatever....
we have to start planning the next trip.  Granny can't wait a whole year!
Hope you are still doing OK....and that this new provider is useful.

Meece, too funny!  She's growing...

Chris, my DD had a big chunk of tooth knocked out by a swing.  It was bonded, then broke off, then bonded again and lasted many years until she had her teeth redone.  It is such a normal thing.  And of course you should have expected his teeth to be perfect!   And I had 2 guys in my house who did not do prom...it hurt me more than them, I think...but in the big scheme of things, it wasn't important. 
DH going fishing tomorrow...normally that would be a free day for me but I have to clean the basement.  Bathroom guy is coming over to do demolition and will need to shut off water/power...can't walk in basement the way it is.  20 years of kids putting stuff down there when I wasn't looking...

I found bathroom tile that looks like natural sandstone... I love it...and now am excited about this project. 
My grass came up; my shrubs look sick.  Can't win...
nite all 

Up at the cabin and it is one stunning day - DH is already gone fishing and I hope to do "nothing" for a few hours. 

Our home was painted this week, finally, and it looks so, so good.  Today they start tearing out the yard - it will be a long three weeks to final product.

I am actually ok with not being in CA - I have to believe that I will not be made to wait until mid-July to see my sweet girl.  I don't yet feel attachment to the new baby sister but I imagine I will very quickly.

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Deb, thinking of you.  Many hugs.

Sandy - glad you had a nice break~

Linda....I was just looking at the pictures......Both of them are so handsome and tall

I like the girlfriend or just friend....Cute

No plans and don't like make a big fuss....I would like to go to a picnic lunch ...that will be perfect for my B-Day......

another perfect day....I'm D Vitaminazing myself..

Linda - went to look at the cute pictures!  You friended his girlfriend?  Doesn't that make it official?
