to remind oneself why candy is not good for your health. This morning I feel like I've been punched in the jaw. Probably related to the molar I had pulled yesterday.
I am pretty sad about this, especially since I now have to find the money to pay for the implant to replace it. I was surprised though at how fast pulling a tooth out is. I'm so used to sitting in the dentist chair for at least an hour. But of course a repair takes more time than a yank!
So today I am slurping down oatmeal and soup and trying to ignore the giant hole in my mouth. I'd post a picture but it's awfully dark in there!
Speaking of teeth, Addison had her first visit to the orthodontist this week. The doctor described her as having eight-year-old teeth in a five-year-old mouth. (And yes, she is ten) She has to have 7 baby teeth yanked out to make room for 4 molars to grow in. And when those molars arrive, out they come.

I had to have 14 teeth pulled when I was about that age. 8 baby, 6 permanent. Katie will likely be the same. Big mouth, little jaw. Take care of yourself!
yikes! we are holding our breath here. Grace looks ok, but Ella and Ruby - don't you love being the parent? hope you are feeling better!
Is this Michele writing? OUCH! I'm still complaining about a little filling I had a month ago...
