Last Day

Wow its the last day of the month already! Pretty amazing how fast a month can swirl by us without even realizing. My last post was Thursday and its been a painful last couple of days. Thursday night I woke with tooth pain, Mike ended up sticking around and running the kids to school for me so I could sleep. Friday I hurt all day, Saturday I hurt and decided that I was going to look for a dentist, with no luck, no one was opened or they had already closed for the day. Sunday I was in somewhat pain. Today I woke feeling pretty darn good, but I knew I had to see a dentist, this problem would not go away it can only get worse. So to the dentist I went, $325.00 later and missing a wisdom tooth, I feel better. Well if the numbness would go away I would be even better. I swear when they were numbing me up he nicked my tongue with the needle because it is so numb feeling. I also set up and appointment in February for full xrays and cleaning and a comprehensive listing of everything that needs to be done to my mouth.

See I have terrible teeth, I call them disgusting!!! Some part of my genes I got horrible teeth, my teeth are stained and I have been told my teeth are very soft, my mouth is full of cavities. I have always brushed my teeth, I never flossed or used mouth rinse. I don't think that's the cause of my cavities but I'm sure it helped out some. My kids have my teeth too. I noticed after Alexis lost her front and her adult teeth followed in, a few months later she started showing slight staining on her teeth. Thankfully they have dental insurance and I am able to take her to the dentist. As a matter of fact take all my kids to the dentist. I'm glad to know that they will have a better smile than me. I remember Alexis's dentist saying she was going to have a million dollar smile, I'm sure not that much but if you add all the cleanings and preventive care it is a pretty penny. Oh and I forgot to mention but my 3 sister and my brother all have staining on their teeth as well, not too sure on the cavities but I know I'm not the first of them to get a tooth pulled. I just hate my teeth and hope I can do something to make them better.

So anyway that's where I've been the past couple of days, dealing with the toothache and it was horrible, the only thing I could do was sleep sitting up. Chicken noodle soup is good, the broth was the best and mashing the noodles up were good too. I even ventured to El Fenix restaurant with my family and had to take the smallest of bites to even eat. Medicine was good too, I was switching between Motrin and Tylenol  every 3 hours and finally got some Vicoden and that was good, it was alot better and took the pain away.

Ok,Ok enough about teeth. Still on the apartment hunt. I'm pretty sure I have found the one for us but still need to go and tour it and make a final decision. Pay application fee and deposit and get ready to move in. I really want to start fully packing but I know Mike is so against it. I will have to continue later... didn't realize it was time to go get the kiddos from school.
