All I want for Christmas is....cavity free teeth....

Today was yet another "dental day", although not for me....but for my darling husband. He was supposed to go in for a cleaning and check-up with the new dentist. This usually takes about 40 minutes, give or take. His appointment was at 1:40....around 5:00, I'm getting a wee bit upset that he isn't answering his phone. Okay, maybe he decided to go Christmas shopping early this year (but then what ever would he do on Christmas Eve? *enter sarcasm here). I call again and the message immediately goes off, so I know the phone is now off. Hmmmm, now that is strange. I proceed to call numerous times with the same results. Then I start to worry. What if he were carjacked or in an accident? Dang it, why isn't he answering the freaking phone? So, I call again and it rings....it's back on....but still no answer. I call repeatedly, and it's off again. Finally I leave a message, (quote "turn your f**** phone on and call me!" end quote).

About a half hour later he finally calls. I say where the heck are you???? and he says, at the dentist! I'm like, for four hours????  Apparently since the dentist was going to be gone for two weeks, she decided to do the bulk of the work now, since he was being fitted for a crown....and NO I do NOT mean he is royalty. During the two weeks she is gone, the crown will be made, and he can then finish up his work. He didn't have many problems, which was a good thing since he procrastinated and hasn't seen the dentist in a while. The dentist asked him if he would like her to even out his front teeth for him, and told him she would do it for free since it was Christmas....so he accepted the offer and his smile is now *sparkling white and straight*. Hmmm, free dental work, a four hour appointment....should I be worried?

I finished my sewing today....kind of. I spent the morning with wee one....who is feeling much better by the way. I checked my comments on my last entry, and she read all the well wishes and was tickled pink! (Thanks to all who commented to her!) I did some laundry and then decided I must do my sewing. It all went very well until the last two straps. why is it the sewing machine decides to revolt when I am almost finished? I gave up and myload will be two short....but that's too bad! It's done and I'm tired.

Tomorrow is the party at school. I had some copies made today of a Christmas word find and another puzzle for the kids, and when wee one saw them she said, "Cool! I get a sneek preview!" LOL....the kid is a nut. She helped me staple them together, and picked out the one that was lined up the straightest....she says she wants that one tomorrow. (In case you're wondering, OCD is genetic...LOL.)  She posted an entry in her journal, and basically took it easy all day. The third time she sat down to log onto the computer, she told me, "You know mom, it's good for me to be online. It helps me to develop my typing skills." I can't believe she said it with a straight face....

Well, it's after nine, and that means only one thing....it's after my bed time....night all....
