Scrappy, I'm so sorry your family has to cope with this.

So, there are these teething biscuits that Noah loves to smear all over himself, his high chair and others eat.

Kat, my kids ate those things by the box. Even when they had all their teeth, they loved to crunch them up and eat them. They're nasty when they dissolve but okish when still crunchy. Not that I've ever been tired, desperate and starving curious enough to give them a nibble.

We're on our second viewing of Enchanted right now. Owen is, dare I say, enchanted.

I'm really sorry scrappy; I am thinking of you and your family.

i'm so sorry, Scrappy. what an awful situation. i'll keep your family in my thoughts.

Scrappy, my thoughts are with your family.

ION, you know the scene in Pi where the guy drills into his head to cure his migraines? I'm starting to think that sounds like a good idea. This sinus headache has been going on for FOUR. FREAKING. DAYS.

Yuck, Suzi. PITA.

I'm sure my feelings on all of this are connected to the fact that I never wanted my parents to hang around when they dropped me off at camp, college, whatever -- I just want to get ON to the NEW thing!

hivemind question. about a week and a half ago i had a temporary crown put on. should i still be having pain? pain that i'm still having to take excedrin for? it's not even really the tooth so much as it is my jaw though.

I think i'm just going to have to suck it up and call the dentist tomorrow. i'm sure he'll recommend a root canal and i DO NOT WANT.

I like unpacking. It's like xmas! I'm surprised by how much of my stuff is actually "packed" because I have so little closed storage, I have all this stuff in container store drawers that can just be taped closed and moved.

tiggy, I'm in the same sitch and being send to an endodontist for an evaluation. The sensitivity to pressure is, I gather, not a great sign.

great. yeah...i haven't been able to wear my retainers more than a couple of hours at night without waking up in pretty unbearable pain.

Still hate unpacking. I did just pack up a truck with a whole bunch of stuff for sale. I have to be very very careful because at this point, I'm like, "Sure! We could sell his crib! I mean, yeah, he still sleeps in it, but he doesn't NEED to." Which is dumb. Why sell it if he is still using it? yet there is a high to pricing, tagging and packing things.

scrappy, I'm sorry about your niece.

you know what is a great treat in an easter basket? Carmel covered apple. SO. GOOD.
