Phooey!!! And double phooey!! 
So I did go to Ben Franklin today. I was in the framing department, looking through some mats. DS3 was talking loudly and grabbing at the frames, so I just kept talking to him quietly and trying to keep him from damaging anything.
One of the clerks says something like, "Oh, honey, are you helping Grandma pick out some mats?" and she smiles at me.
I smile back and say, "I'm his mother, actually." She looks about my age, so I'm guessing she's got older kids...
She says, "Oh, I thought I heard him call you 'Grandma'." I didn't say anything further; it's possible, I suppose 'Mama' sounds like 'Grandma'.
Then a co-worker comes up to her and commiserates with her on her faux pas. "It's so hard to tell sometimes. The worst is when you ask someone when they're due and they say they aren't pregnant! I've learned not to say anything anymore."
I'm standing there thumbing through the mats thinking, "I am still right here, folks!" Good call on not saying anything at all, I say. If you don't know, don't assume. Shut up! GEESH!
Awww...that's not polite! I know it was a misunderstanding but that's still not good. I think they were inconsiderate to be talkinga bout it while you're still next to them. Good grief! Don't feel bad! You don't look like a grandma! 
Hey guys!! I don't have time to chat, cuz I'm still getting ready to go. Getting up early in the morning to go. I still have to dye my hair.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Bye!!!

That actually doesn't sound too bad. I dont' have any crowns, but for some reason I'm thinking it's more on our insurance. And sometimes the real ones pop off unexpectedly and you have to get another one all over again. OUCH!I'm so mad...I have to go back to the dentist this Friday and it's going to cost me over $500 just for a friggen crown for a root canal I had done!They said this is AFTER insurance
Yesterday someone called me mam......I don't like being called mam!! It makes me feel like an old fogey!
The first time I was called "ma'am" I think I was 16yo! I was just
It was pretty hilarious looking back on it, but at the time I was pretty horrified.
I've known at least 10 people who've had root canals and crowns placed, and in every case the temporary popped off before the permanent was ready to be put on. Dumb, huh?
That's terrible! I don't know why the temporary falls out. Now I have a hole in my tooth. 
I have to be extra careful when I'm chewing. I wonder what my dentist drives....probably a Lexus or something 
SO I asked her if she wanted me to put hot sauce on her tongue.. She walked her little butt up to me, and said "Yeeeesssssss" and stuck her tongue out at me.. So you know what? I took her in the kitchen and did it. I felt horrid afterwards... But you know what else? She hasnt spit since... or stuck out her tongue... or anything else bad. I would just mention the H word... and she would shape right up! It really only bothered her for a second too... I gave her some milk... and it was just the teeniest drop.. So it probably didnt do her any harm... Right? Oy...
I have an awesome dentist, who is also my orthodontist. He's a great human being, really upbeat about everything, and just an all-around great guy. He and his staff are great with DS7, too, which was so important to me. DS was so nervous about going the first time, and I considered going someplace that specialized in children's teeth. But I could tell on his first visit that even though he was scared, they were going to treat him right.
I'm looking for another dentist that is closer and more affordable.
Soooo.... I am a horrid mother. I tried Dizzy's hot sauce thing on Mikalah today... She kept spitting all over the place, and spitting out her milk...
Awww....don't feel bad and you are not a horrid mother. I don't blame you for feeling guilty, maybe it will stop her from spitting and such. I thought you went to sleep!
But she is totally over it now.

Naw... But I finally got Mikalah down to bed. I hope she is sleeping soundly! And thank you! I felt awful afterwards.. but dh said she would be okay, and it wont do any long term damage... (yes... I woke him up..)
