Ouch!

I fixed a decent dinner tonight by putting a roast in the crock pot before I left for school this morning.  We had roast, boiled potatoes and onions, red pepper strips, fruit, and--in Robin's case--spinach.  She ate an entire can of cooked spinach all by herself and relished every moment of it!  I've never met a young'un who eats as "healthy" as Robin.  We should all emulate her food habits!

I took on a tutoring job today.  There is a former student who thinks she needs help in English, so I started working with her after school this afternoon.  She has a 300-point project due on Tuesday, and there is still much to do...so that's where we started.

After supper tonight, I needed a short snooze (which I got, while the children watched a video).  When I woke up, I knew I was in trouble.  I have a broken tooth--a baby tooth, actually.  Primary teeth are designed by nature to last about six years.  Mine has lasted 60, since there was no permanent tooth under it to push it out.  I clench my jaw and grind my teeth at night, which has resulted in this broken tooth.  I have let it go because it didn't hurt, figuring I'd wait until summer to get it yanked out.  But something changed during my nap.  It hurts to bite down on that side.  The tooth feels like it is out of line due to loosening or something...and it throbs.  So I will be seeking out a dentist tomorrow to get it pulled.  Long overdue...  Wish me luck!

Meg really likes her job and is good at it.  She is finding, however, that she is pooped at the end of the day--the same as her mommy!  She continues with her weight loss--almost 60 pounds to date--and is looking really good.  You go, girl!  We promised the children that we'd go to Chick-fil-A for dinner tomorrow, since they will be with their father over the weekend.  (They like the play place.  I like the menu because they have a great fruit cup that the children love, the best chicken nuggets, and great cheesecake.)  The real trick will be getting them clean enough to eat, straight from day care!

So, you still had a baby tooth!  The last of my four was pulled when I was 50, some egads, 15 years ago!  I have just finished "catching up" with your blog.  You write so that I feel I'm right there!  Adam sounds like a wonderful person, is he a ham too?  Of course Ryan has always been a dear, bless him.

We hope that Meg's life will just get better and better, it is time, and sounds like she's on the right track.  When you speak of the kids getting sick, it reminds me of our conversation about not washing hands nearly enuf!

I'm not on the 'puter that much right now, you know the outside is calling, garden getting planted, yard being spruced up with the annual flowers, we "opened" the pool Tuesday, meaning we got everything hooked up, the winter cover off, and started the chemicals by "shocking the P... out of it", that's not my term, but one that everyone uses upon opening a pool for the year.

Anyhow, just wanted to say Hey, send my love and support (from Illinois).  Need to visit, will work on that.
