Some good pics and not so good news

Just a few pics of the boys playing their own version of kickball. Literally, just kick the ball.


My boys love dirt and water: MUD!




Just messing around with a few settings on my camera. I was trying to use the up close macro setting and it wouldn't focus right. But it did focus on the stop sign in the background. Whatever...turned out kinda neat anyway.


So my bad news...or at least in my mind that's for sure! So I went to the dreaded dentist because I had a small chip off of one of my molars around a filling. ( I don't like the dentist). So they scheduled me for a cleaning ( I don't like the dentist) to see what was going on and to clean my teeth. Well in the process of cleaning them the hygenist, who was very very nice by the way, she tells me that I have a loose tooth! "A WHAT???" wtf! I was like...what do you mean?? (I hate the dentist). So they take a whole mouth xray only to find out that I have 3 baby teeth still. I knew about one of them.. The other two I didn't know were baby teeth and one is loose!! The root is barely there and she said the tooth will fall out soon.....WHAT!!!!???? Are you kidding me....what does that mean????? She starts to tell me about a few options (none that I'm liking at all.....have you got the hint yet...I hate the dentist! So then the xray shows that I actually have 3 permanent teeth under the babies. Each tooth has a matching permanent one under it. Good news...at least to her and the dentist. I am none too thrilled at this moment. Also she tells me that I have all 4 wisdom teeth too. WHAT???!!! The news is only getting better....doesn't she remember that I was there really for a chipped tooth, not really for the cleaning or all this other news either!! She was very nice and played along well with my sarcasm. So... I go back in a few weeks to fix my filling and need to schedule with an orthodontist. I told her " look I barely came in here and now you expect me to go to a orthodonist for possible oral surgery??"" whatever!! Although, she had a good point. At least make the consult appt and let him go over what options there are so that when (huh? did she say when?) it falls out, then I'll have a plan. So as you can imagine I am constantly now paranoid that all of a sudden my tooth is going to fall out. It's in the front on bottom, it's like the vampire pointy one. You would be able to tell if I had a missing tooth there!! So, as I start to follow through and check my insurance I find out of course that I don't have orthodontic insurance and the office visit alone is going to cost $65 bucks...ouch! But I made an appt for next week. I will go to the appt, but I have to say that my plan at the moment is to do nothing. I'll just wait till it falls out and then proceed. I really don't think it will happen soon. The hygenist said it could be 2 days or 5 years. Yippee...I'm going for the 5 yr. thing.! I don't know really, but I do know that if a dentist freaks me out and I avoid them at all costs...then an orthodondist to possibly do some type of surgery to pull the permanent tooth up is not sitting well with me at all!! (ugh..I hate the dentist and orthodontist too) I'll will keep you posted on what happens. I have to say that my smile is good and my teeth are straight without any intervention up to this point in my life. Now they want to pull out three baby teeth and pull through three bigger permanent ones??? Doesn't sound well to me and there could be side effects to my straight teeth from this...but we'll see. I guess I won't do too much more guesswork until I talk to the dr. next week...ugh....yuk.....!!!!!

Well that's about all I have for now. Have a great night and don't worry about me...I'll just be worrying about my teeth....ha ha....
