L Goes Toothless!!

My first tooth
L looses another tooth.
L has been losing her teeth right and left lately. I was really proud of myself for the last one though. Just ask D. I DO NOT PULL TEETH! EVER! However, this week it was unavoidable. L had thrown her fit to her dad the night before when he had tried to pull her tooth so he had sent her to bed. Fast forward to lunch the next day and over a special treat of pizza...and you guessed it: disaster struck. L looked at her crust and finger and noticed a lot of blood on them. I saw her tooth was completely red and immediately took her away from the drapes and upholstery and lead her to the bathroom. I did what any good mom would do.....I told L she had to pull it out immediately so we could stop the bleeding. She cried, I cried, and we both realized that was in fact NOT going to happen. Since I knew that time was of the essence, I did what I could no longer avoid, I yelled down the hall to my 8 year old daughter to hurry and come pull her sister's tooth. I believe the exact response was "Mom, I'm sorry, but I am not going to do that." At this point, I am becoming concerned because I am not entirely sure that the 3 year old can do it and I am running out of kids to ask since the 18 year old is at work. He would have done it. I decided that daddy really wasn't that far. We could pile in the car chase down his police cruiser and he could do it. Daddy didn't answer his phone. Just like some criminal to ruin my back up to my back up plan. I am slowly realizing it is going to have to be me. I grab a wash cloth, close my eyes, and give it a little pull. NOTHING! Didn't daddy say it was so loose he would barely have to touch it? Guess what, it wasn't that loose. I open my eyes, reposition the cloth, close my eyes again and pull HARD. IT WAS SO GROSS. I felt each strand snap one by one. The tooth came out and I was so excited I started screaming. Too bad L didn't realize that it was a happy I really did it scream. All she saw was mommy with a blood stain cloth screaming hysterically at her. So she joined in my hysterical screaming for a completely different reason. I finally managed to get out "I did it, I did it!!!" and her response was priceless. She immediately stopped wailing, clapped her hands, and said, "Yeah, Mommy." I am very proud of my  L's tooth. A asked me later, "so now are you going to pull teeth?" Let me think..........ABSOLUTELY NOT! However, I did learn I can pull a tooth in a life or death situation. Does she really have 2 more loose?

The Bunch Start Birthday Week

  Yes, my Mom had my name misspelled on the cake.😂 It was still yummy so it was all good. T, A, and I all have our birthdays within a week and a half. Which means there is a crazy amount of sugar within those 10 days. We always like to make whoever's birthday it is feel special for the day. We watch what they want,do activities they like, eat what they pick, do their chores for them, etc. It not usually too expensive, but just a fun day where it's focused on them. The kids use to use their days to rule like little kings and queens, but have become a lot calmer in their "old" age since they get to do whatever they want most of the time anyways. We are a pretty close family and do a lot of things together all the time anyways, but on birthdays we still make sure we defer to the birthday boy/girl. My birthday is first and the kids do so many nice things for me all the time, but they put forth an extra effort on my birthday. This year A even woke up early to turn the cof...

The Bunch Are Ready For Fall To Come Back

  A and I at our favorite venue. We LOVE Bass Hall. I must admit that we are pretty tired of the crazy hot weather. We are ready to go back to the temps we had at the beginning of September. We played pickleball again this week, but D had required overtime to work so just T, A, and I went. We played singles and winner played the next person or A and I played together against T.  We ended up in full sun and the humidity was a killer. We are happy that the cold front is coming through this week and the mornings should be in the 60s or low 70s with low humidity. It should be super nice to play in. T won every game we played, but A and I together definitely made him work harder! We still had a lot fun. We decided against our usual post game Braums. We all were hot and really just wanted to get home to the a/c.  A won the lottery for tickets at Bass Hall to see the Life of Pi. We were up in the upper gallery, but that might have been beneficial for this show. The animal puppet...

The Bunch's Streak Of Bad Luck Continues

We made great time on the way there! It's amazing how leaving only 30 minutes later can help immensely with traffic. I wish all the shows started at 8 instead of 7:30.  What a week this was! We went to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future. It was ok. Definitely not the best play we have seen. The boys went with us and since the last two shows they joined us for were The Outsiders, which is one of, if not our most, favorite show ever, and A Christmas Story, which is in probably in the top 6, they were really not impressed. However, we still had a nice time doing something different together.  We love Bass Hall❤️ We had opening night tickets and got a GREAT deal! I went in this week and had my polyps removed plus they did a biopsy. I was more sore and for longer than I anticipated. Yes, the doctor said recovery was about 10 days, but I really only anticipated maybe 3-4. Boy, was I wrong! It's been 7 days now and by 10 I think I will be completely back to normal. Unfortunately, sh...
