Cranberry or Pineapple??

Cristi - I hope your solution will work for Jacob. I could see how video games could be so distracting.

Jrsy - my thumbs hurts after I play Mario Kart too.....I will take into consideration what you mentioned to Tammy!!!!! I have a bad habit popping up the wheel to make the motorcycles do a wheely on that gam

I found out I have training next week and it is away from my building so I get to sleep in next week but I won't get to post on my breaks so I will have to do it at home at night.

Alex has gotten so into doing stunts off the jumps that he has actually fallen off his seat.

We would get along great.

Selena - it's good you got it out, and glad you can do it here with us. Sounds like E may have a bad influence or maybe they are spending too much time goofing around?

Mom - OMG wisdom teeth HURT, I am so glad I never have to go through that again. I hope dad isn't in any pain. What are you guys doing this weekend?

Tonight after work I am going to have a Wii night with my friend and her son. Her son leaves for FL for 2 months on Monday to be with his dad. She said he is more excited for me coming over then going to see his dad!!!! On Saturday I am hoping to go see my sister, then on Sunday cleaning and laundry while Chris is going to go to a Mac workshop to learn more things to do with his laptop.

Heidi how is your friend doing? This is the one whose husband decided he wanted a divorce a few years ago, right? I think of her occassionally.

Alex finally got Tammy to try Mario Kart last night and now she is complaining that her thumb hurts. I had to explain that the vehicle doesn't go faster if you push the button harder.

Alex is going on a church retreat this weekend, so Tammy and I are on our own. I still have guitar lessons tomorrow, but we are going to get massages in the afternoon.

Oh Oh I know what you are doing this weekend!!!!!! Have fun! You both deserve it!

Selena, I think you are probably right about Erik not wanting to be smart around his friends.

I hope Ted feels okay. Wisdom teeth do hurt! I had all four of mine out at once when I was in college. I was really glad to still be living at home and have my mom there to take care of me and make me mashed potatoes.

I got an email from Jacob's teacher the other day. She is concerned about him and how often he drifts off in class. Jacob and I talked about it the other night and tried to come up with a reason why he does that so often. He said that he is thinking about what he is going to do when he gets home (video games). We are putting some big restrictions on those for weekdays now and we will see if that will help. He actually didn't even ask to play the Wii yesterday. He did play his DS for about 10 or 15 minutes, but that was it. I hope it helps. When his mid term grade came out, he had D's in reading comprehension, social studies and science. I think if he would just bring home his notes/books before a test and we could study together he could probably have a B in those classes without a problem. He did bring home his reading and science the other night and had tests on both yesterday. I should find out today how he did.

Sorry this is so long.

Cristi thank you so much!!!! You make me feel so much better. I have felt like I am alone with Erik and his grades. It makes me feel so much better when a good parent is going thru the same stuff. I know Jacob is younger than E but still, thank you!! I think you did right with the video games.

Sandy I hope Ted is feeling well. I did not have any wisdom teeth. I felt fortunate.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Selena, no wisdom teeth???? How lucky! Thanks for asking. He is doing great. In fact, I think he is eating food he shouldn't but he doesn't want to listen.

 

[Jrsy Boy]

And the weather is cold, so we don't have to feel guilty about spending the whole weekend inside.

Tammy didn't have wisdom teeth, either. I had mine out (all 4) when we still lived in NJ and was out hiking later that afternoon. Surprised us both after the horror stories we'd heard. Either I had a very good oral surgeon or mine weren't in too bad of shape.

Yeah I was extremely lucky. I always felt I must have been pretty dang smart in order for my body to know I did not need them. lol Seriously though I have big teeth and a small mouth I would have had to have them removed when I got braces. They did so many Xrays for a couple of years because they could not believe it.

Make sure Ted does not get any food in the pockets where his teeth use to be.

 

[Jsme]

Wow where's everyone? Come on it after 12 in my neck of the US. Wake up people.

Today is a workday and I am working till 1:30. E has an ortho appointment and I have to take him.

 

[ImMarcik]

I got my wisdom teeth out when i was 18, I begged my mom to let me go out to the club that night but I had to stay in. Geeez I was an abused child.

 

[Jrsy Boy]

I'm surprised Heidi wasn't here to give the weather report from her drive to work. As bad as the snow is, maybe she hasn't made it yet. Ted is probably at work, so Sandy is out shoveling again.

Oops...Heidi is in training this week...

I found out I have training next week and it is away from my building so I get to sleep in next week but I won't get to post on my breaks so I will have to do it at home at night.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Nope, Sandy isn't out shoveling. She's spending the day in the bathroom. Woke up to the stomach flu. I don't think I have ever had such cold chills.

Wow you were horribly abused. How dare they make you stay home!!!

OH poor you!! The stomach bug that is going around here is horrible. Sounds like you have it too!! Take care of yourself.

We have to stick together. Being a parent is tough.

You were lucky. I had all four of mine removed when I was 19 or 20. They had a really hard time with two of them. I looked like a chipmunk on one side of my face and the other side looked like I had a golf ball in my mouth.

Yes we do have to stick together. We are seriously going thru so much with Erik. It hurts me to see him not care about his potential. It breaks my heart to see him have the attitude he has.


OK, for those who did have wisdom teeth, let me say this...I have extremely long roots on my pernament molars. So long in fact that if they ever do have to be removed it would be a major surgery. Not something simple for the dentist and not something simple for the oral surgeon. I am very fortunate that I have healthy teeth and gums. Does that make anyone feel any better? lol

Hopefully, you won't have to have those molars out. I had to have gum grafts about 11 or 12 years ago. Boy, that was fun, let me tell ya!
