Small Successes ...

FaithButton
What did you get right this week?

hmmmm ...

1.  I didn't throw up at the oral surgeons when they took 2 SETS of molds.  I know I posted this earlier, but having a huge mouthpiece filled with nasty cement that almost CAN'T fit into my mouth is NOT FUN.  I had to focus on breathing so that I did't panic and GAG.  

2.  I helped my 8 year old make a castle without OVER-HELPING (if you know what I mean).  The castle looks like it was made by an 8 year old.

3.  I JUST bought tickets to a Jason Mraz concert (my post surgery gift to me and my older two girls).  I usually leave this up to my husband.  When it found me seats, I had exactly 2 minutes to confirm them or I would lose the spots.  I hardly ever make a decision in 2 minutes.  ANYWAY, I did it!  Can't wait to go to this concert.

I think your victory at the oral surgeon was HUGE. I always have a hard time at the dentist for the same reason....having them put things in my mouth makes me gag and become very anxious. Good for you!!!
Have a great week!

That sounds like something fun to look forward to! I also hate those molds, I agree they are not fun! I've been through braces as a kid, then as an adult I had most of my teeth redone as crowns. A couple years ago I had all the front top and bottom redone in Lumineers. The process was not fun the but end result was totally worth it (and the high price tag! I'm still paying it off!) But worth it, just keep focusing on the end!!

Those are all great successes!

I once did panic when molds were being taken of my mouth. I yanked the tray out and then had to pull out chunks of the goo which was in the process of setting up. Then I had to brush my teeth and start all over again. I did much better the second time and the bottom wasn't nearly as bad as the top. ;)

GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!

There are few things worse than having impressions made. Hope you are doing well post-surgery.

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
