unexpected

Unexpected
 As a Parent that word needs to be in our Vocabulary.  Yesterday started off pretty good, then in the middle crashed and burned, then at the end smoothed out a bit.  My son needs 2 teeth pulled, so we went to the dentist here in town, and they numbed him with q-tips, then out of no where stuck him with novicane if they would have warned him in advanced thats what they were going to do, he probobly wouldnt have freaked out so bad but they didnt and so insted of being there for 30 minuets we were there for 1hr and 30 minuets, before they said "I'm sorry I dont think we can help him here" and they refered us to a place in brighton ( about 30 minuets from our house) and they couldnt even get him in until monday, So not only did my kid not get his teeth pulled I'm pretty sure that he's Traumatize from the argument between his dad and I afterward.  Thankfully my parents house was close and available to us, while I set up his appointment and my Husband and I took seperate time outs... After a few hours and conversations with my bff and dad, I was finally calm enough to go home, when I came home hubby was apologetic, and Explained that he was angry because he couldnt help kiddo not to be afraid, or take his pain away.  Then we had make up tacos... Always good.  I'm going to spend some time with my dad today, hes gonna see about helping me get an over the counter Mouth gard for night time. I dont know if you all know this but about 6 months ago I was Diagnosed with Temporal mandibular Joint dysfunction or TMJ for short, well I also have cronic sinus issues and I dont Grind my teeth I clench them, so I've set out to find out all i can about my condition and I'm makeing the nessicary changes in my life to assist with it, but the sinus issues have now compacted my TMJ so when allergy season rolls around I'm almost always In pain... actually its more like I'm in pain for the changeing of the seasons... suck-tackular.  Haveing visited the E.R. I recently discovered that The dhs suspended my medical coverage, so now i have to go and re-apply and while i'm waiting i have to wait till tomarrow before i can get the meds the ER doc perscribed for me... On a semi happy note Today is Sammys last Football Practice and saturday is his last game, I say happy because His Schedual has been so hectic its actually kept him home for at least 2 days because hes got no time to be a kid on the days that hes got practice, and the days he dosnt he spends it doing homework or spelling words, and He hasnt had a free saturday For 3 months now, I'm happy he wanted to join football its done wonders for his Self-esteem, and he is planning on playing again next year, I think the next great adventure maybe baseball.  we will see come the spring time!

Its the little things

Things have been a struggle recently.  Between balancing bills, football, job hunting, and our "booming" (note the sarcasm) Social life, the little things have passed me by... simple things too like a quiet house, or spending time with Sammy, or even watching the UofM vs. MSU game last weekend, tho i did enjoy that. This weekend is equally busy, Sammy's got his last game and our friends are FINALLY getting married (congrats you guys), and we have dinner with my parents on Sunday I think.  But as I sit here with my moment of time, and tho I have been struggling to make Lemonade out of the lemons I've been handed, I am taking the advice one of my favorite aunts gave to me, Focus on something positive... altho I enjoy being Busy, and I love entertaining, I also enjoy the solitude of a quiet house with those I love surrounding me. And thank heaven that this is Sammy's last week of practice! I need a little down time and so dose he... But he enjoyed himself and we watched Sammy open up and his self-confidence soar! this was one of the best things we as parents could have ever done for him, and HE wanted to do it! it was hard at first but I'm so proud of him for sticking it out and digging deep to find the courage and strength he didn't even know he had.
