Letting My Imagination Get The Best Of Me

At 5:00 am this morning, Konman comes into our room and says that there is a boy knocking on our door asking for help and his name is Nicholas. Normally I would think he had been dreaming and send him back to bed. Except, for the fact that there is a boy named Nick who lives across the street from us. I make a point of trying to get to know the kids who live around us, so if they are in trouble they would feel comfortable coming to me. This has, also, come in handy because one time when some older kids took Konman's football at school and threw it over the fence, Nick went and got it for him and returned it to him when he got home from school. Anyway, Darktimber sends Konman back to bed and I tell him that maybe he should check it out because there is a boy across the street named Nick and if he was in trouble, there is a good chance he would come to our house. So he goes to check it out. I come downstairs and find him standing in his boxers with the front door open listening to something. He tells me that there is a van parked in the driveway next door and there are people inside it. I tell him that nobody has lived there for about 3 weeks. Then I go and make sure Konmans window is locked, because I am just sure that there are people outside who are want to take my son. I then convince Darktimber to call the police, because if someone took one of my children and my children tried to get help I hope that someone would help them. Well as the story goes, apparently, we have new neighbors with four small children. I'm willing to bet one of them is named Nick. There goes my first impression. I just don't understand why they were sleeping in there van on the floor, instead of on the floor inside their new apartment that has air conditioning. I guess you could say that my imagination was working overtime last night.

Feeling Better, Kinda

I'm definitely feeling better. Unfortunately they weren't able to finish, due to the fact that the anesthesia was wearing off and I could feel them filing away down by my jaw bone. It didn't hurt but I could still feel it and I kinda was grossed out. I guess they are going to complete it when I go in to get the right side of my mouth filled. That will be an extra fun day. Well I'm getting ready to go camping this weekend. I'd better get going. Hope you all have a good weekend.

A phrase I never thought I would utter...

I am relieved that I am getting a root canal done tomorrow.

I went to the dentist 2 weeks ago and got every tooth on my left hand side filled, except for the one they are going to pull. They told me my teeth would be sensitive and I would be in pain for a couple days. I was a little concerned when I was still hurting on Thursday and Friday. By Sat. and Sun. I was in major pain(motrin wasn't even touching the pain). I went to the dentist on Monday morning and sure enough I have an infection and need a root therapy(apparently that makes it sound more appealing), so they put me on antibiotics and had me switching off every 2 hours between 800 mg Motrin and Tylenol. The only problem as some of you might know I don't handle heavy medication very well. I have either been in a comatose state or major pain with about a 1/2 hour of foggy, but OK every 2 hours. I am anxious to be somewhat back to normal by Friday morning. Whooohooo!

WOW!!! It has been awhile!

It has been so long since I blogged that I forgot my sign-in and password. I must say I have missed blogging. I don't even know if anyone checks my blog anymore? If you do, you might shoot me a comment. I have been reading your blogs and have enjoyed keeping up on what you are up to.
