DID EVERYBODY HEAR THAT???? She admitted that her mother was right!?!? There is hope that one day we will be vindicated!
Glad you're feeling better, Shannon. How many teeth did you have out? Two? How long did the Dr. say the pain should last?
HAVE A GREAT DAY, PEEPS!
Yep my mom was right. And she is usually right most of the time. But I am one of those rare breeds of daughters that is freakishly close to their moms (very Gilmore-Girl-ish except my mom had me when she was 33, not 16). I get annoyed or frustrated with her of course, like I would with anyone really, but we have never had those awful teen years or slamming of the doors or talking back, etc. She's really my best friend.
Oh, and yes I only had 2 teeth out since thats all I had. The Dr. didn't really say how long the pain should last but it feels much better today. The only gross thing is I have this oral rinse that I have to use 3x a day. But one of the side effects is that it causes extra plaque buildup
so that on top of not being able to brush really well equals a really gross feeling mouth. I go back Friday for my follow up.
We're Irish Catholic. No donuts for us on Fat Tuesday, but DH and I did have French Toast for dinner last night (in lieu of pancakes. DH likes them better).
I'm doing my best today to observe Ash Wednesday despite the fact we're leaving for Reno in a couple of hours. At least I didn't give up slot machines for Lent. this means we have 2 meatless days in a 3 day trip. My vegan DS cheered when I mentioned that.
I know someone mentioned that Jesus already made the Sacrifice for us, but for Catholics, we try to add our little bitty sacrifice to His big one, not because He needs it, but because we try to follow His footsteps. So for me, Lent is about trying a little harder to be a better Christian. Thinking more about those who are suffering, and trying to be less self-absorbed.
Irish Catholic here too!
No meat for us today - not that I'd be eating it anyway. I had this moment this morning as I was driving to school and was at the stoplight. All the cars turning were coming from my church and Ash Wednesday services. And I just wanted to go to church. I used to go religiously (no pun intended) in high school and even in college I went pretty often since it was a catholic school. But for the past few years I really haven't gone. I do think a lot of it has to do with the church I'm "supposed" to go to. It really needs to be shut down. But I do like another church in the area which is where I went for Christmas services. We'll see.
Here is an abbreviated version of my week in a wrap.
You have definitely had a rough time of it! The foot! Ouch! Hope your week ends on a better note!
Please pray for my husband's family. His aunt is dying and her children are taking it really hard. Her lung cancer is in its last stage and about two weeks ago she developed pneumonia. Needless to say the pneumonia became her death warrant. She is in an unresponsive state and is being given morphine every two hours. I'm on my way back to nursing home to be with the family. Please pray for her. I hate to see her suffer.

Prayers sent!
WI_Disney: I hate that St. Bernard! Last summer I had a VERY frightening experience with my standard poodle. Our neighbors have 2 german shepherds who are kept locked in a cage in the garage all day and only let outside to do their business for about 5 minutes and then back inside they go. Well, he was out of town and his crazy girlfriend decided to take both dogs (who probably have never been on a leash) and her 4 yr old for a walk. And they were right outside my house when I opened the door to take my dog out. I tried to make it back in but no luck. BOTH dogs broke free from their leashes and ran towards us. I was trying to block the bites and protect my baby (who is 50 lbs FYI) from these meanies but she still managed to get a few bites in and I got a puncture on my finger because I got in the way. These dogs were actually partway in our house during this whole thing! Anyway, the girlfriend finally comes over to get her 2 dogs off my dog. Turns out she was tending to her daughter because this little peanut of a 4 yr old was holding one of the dogs on a leash while sitting in the stroller. When the dog bolted, she flew out of the stroller and hit her head. The mom tried to make me feel bad about it. But I'm not usually very sympathetic to stupidity
Anyway, my dog had to have some sutures but she is fine now. My point is that there are leash laws most everywhere I think. All it takes is an anonymous phone call to animal control or the police. They will probably just get a fine the first time - its not like they will take the dog away. Hope Molly has less eventful walks from now on!
Now a me update - like I said, mouth is feeling better, but dirty. I think my sutures are ready to be out. I can feel stuff back there but its not exactly painful as it is annoying. School was fine today. My afternoon adult client is getting discharged next week which is exciting but I will probably get another client. I will look forward to the break though. Oh and I got my midterm grade for all my clinical work. All 3 of my supervisors discuss and agree upon my strengths and weaknesses and what my grade should be. I got a B+. Ok I guess. But all of the weaknesses were from my time at the schools. This lady is nuts and shoudl not be a supervisor. She is so ridiculous that I walked into the student room yesterday, heard 2 girls complaining, and immediately knew they were talking about my supervisor. They were having issues with her too. Glad its not just me. Oh well. I really feel like I did better this week and hopefully she noticed.
Oh and I just spent 2 hours decorating sugar cookies for my mom's coworker/friend's retirement party on Friday. They are in the shape of badges, donuts, and coffee cups (its a police department). I will have to post a pic when they are all done. Oh and my DSIL's DS (whoa confusing!) "hired" me to make some cookies for her daughter's christening next month.
Off to relax! My morning meeting got cancelled so I can sleep in a bit and go in later.
I have always wondered what it is about glaring light that can trigger a migraine.
(DS8) science fair project was one of 4 in the 3rd grade to make it to the school's fair. He got a cool green satin ribbon. 
think I even got an honorable eye contact from total hard body instructor
DS9 has missed 3 days of school and I have missed 2.5 days of work. That means less money for the Mouse. 
. Thank you soooo much for all the COOL Miss Piggy stuff, Nabs (YAY!), Domestic Goddess plaque, notebooks, pencils, coin purse, lotion (yum!), and everything else in that LIME basket! The Croc will be in GOOD hands! I just love you! Thank you thank you thank you!
