The lil’wrekker had a dental cleaning/exam/whitening this morning. She shot me 2 texts. “I have a cavity, Ma!”…“What do I do?”
Now, she’s never had one before. She had wisdom teeth drama a coupla years ago. I told her all would be fine. Make an appointment she would be able to keep. She goes back to school this weekend. Her appointment is in 4 weeks. She came home moping and wanting me to look at it. Did it look bad? Would it hurt? “Ma, how can I live with this pestilence in my mouth for a whole month?” Oh, dear.
Bear is being the worst cat ever! I know I’ve said that a few times. He’s at least consistent. Even Meeko is avoiding him by being velcroed to my lap. I’ve scolded him at least 23 times today. From tormenting the Yorkie Grace to knocking my cup off the table. And yowling for no reason I can determine. Right at this minute he’s pacing the hearth. It’s warmish out, so there’s no fire in the fireplace. He’s clearly pissed. Oh, my.
Mr.Wrekker came in at his normal time, 5:30pm. Ut-oh there’s no Jack Daniels in the house. No cocktail for him. Not really my problem. I remind him that he has a bottle in his barn office. He could stroll out there and get it. I’d be glad to get his glass and ice. He shrugs and goes upstairs to shower. Oh, well.
I feel my day has been productive. Putting out fires is my main contribution to this humble home. (:))
Happy New Year to Bear and Meeko, from Vienna, who NEVER misbehaves.
Not a drop of Jack Daniels in this house, except maybe in my father’s liquor cabinet. He died 25 years ago, and the cabinet has been locked at least 30 years. If I find any, it’s yours.
My DD got her first cavity at 22 and was appalled. Such is the power of dental sealant. Glad I invested in it when she was a tiny tot. Better not tell Li’l Wrekker she has tooth-destroying bacteria in her mouth at all times. All that flossing and brushing really just disarranges the bacteria so it can’t do as much harm. So sayeth my dental tech yesterday.
I hope Mr. Wrekker finds a way out of his Jack dilemma–one that doesn’t involve you.
Glad Bear has settled down. Snacks work wonders for me, too!
I, to invested in tooth sealants. Man they are the thing. She had a lower sugary diet than her peers as well. I never ok’d soda. Since she’s away at college her diet as changed. She loves Dr. Pepper. But 21 getting your first cavity ain’t bad. I’ve had dental reconstruction after my bad car wreck and she watched me suffer. I think that’s helped scare her enough that she takes decent care of her teeth.
Mr.Wrekker will find his own Jack Daniels I’m sure. He knows where the liquor store is. He came home from poker night about 2 hrs ago. From the way he looked he found something to drink. He handed me the kitty and poured himself in bed.
The lil’wrekker returned to Campus this morning. I’ve gotten several texts.
Her small fridge got unplugged and “Oh, my god Mother, it’s just so gross”
Her new duds from Christmas presents won’t fit in her closet. A travesty.
She left her pricey shampoo and conditioner at home. Oh, well.
Adulting is just so hard when you’re only 21yo and spoiled rotten. (:))
I did tell her real people have large refrigerators that break and usually they get them cleaned out and repaired. And be thankful she didn’t have $300 worth of groceries in it.
I got an “Oh, Mother!”
When I went to “The Big U,” our little friggies in the dorm rooms had to be cleaned out, unplugged, and stored down the hall. The dorm rooms were rented out over Christmas break.
