Oh what a day we had today.... It starts like this. Around 5 AM Sterling and I get up for our day. Everything is going smoothly until Jocie wakes and tells us, "you are the loudest people on the planet!" When she wakes up she has a really hard time getting back to sleep so she decided to go play video games. Sterling left for work and Mason comes and slithers his way into my bed. I was so tired from my uneasy sleeping that night that I asked Jocie if she minded if I go lay down for a bit and then I would get up and take them to school. "No problem" she says. I reset my alarm on my cell phone. I knew Mason doesn't take long to get ready so I thought I would give him a few extra minutes. Like I have said before, and for anyone that knows Jocie, she is very independent. I didn't realize my alarm was on the lowest volume. I had ear plugs in and never heard it. Mason and I slept for hours. I had mentioned to Jocie that I wasn't feeling well because of lack of sleep. She showered, fed herself, and got a ride to school. She was gone before I knew it. So I think that was the biggest DUHHHHH..... Where is my brain, mom moment so far. Mason wakes up and tells me his tooth feels loose. He did loose one just barely so this one was probably the next to come out. He went in the bathroom and just wiggled it a little. Oh his tooth came out all right!!! Along with a huge chunk of his gums with the tooth still attached. It tore all the way down to the bone. YUCK! My parents always show up at the perfect moment. Thank goodness for grandma. I went to go get some clothes on while grandma got the ice pack. When we got to the dentist he took an x ray. He said they don't see things like that very often. Mason was as calm as a kitten. He sat in the chair with his gums torn and a tooth sticking out of it ready for some business. The nurse gave him a game controller and the ear phones. While he was getting 5 shots of Novocaine he didn't even flinch. NOTHING!!! He calmly played his skateboarding game. The dentist removed the tooth, that had a bit of bone on it, then he stitched the gums back together. I have never seen a braver kid. He has had stitches, without making a sound. He has had 5 deep muscle shots, not a peep. Also a blood draw, not ever a whimper. I wish I had his pain tolerance. In my last post about the "Tooth Fairy" he wrote on the bag that his tooth was worth $2.00. He asked me if this one was worth $20. At this rate I will have to take out a loan to pay the tooth fairy. The kid knows how to bargain.Good thing we had just had family pictures the day before. We want Mason to loose teeth but not need reconstructive surgery every time OK :)
My Daily Inspiration
Your Own Inner Light to Guide You
There comes a time when you must stand alone.You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own drAllow eams.You must be willing to make sacrifices.You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.
