Quirky Mom, Quirky Family
Sometimes I go looking for my mom, because I’ve forgotten she isn’t there, and I am surprised when I can’t find her.
Last week Sara was talking downstairs and I swore it was mom. I don’t hear her in my own voice, although I hear her in my words. I was pleasantly surprised to find her in Sara’s. [Read more...]
So, this is the bed – my friend gave the entire thing to us (including the mattress!) because they got it for their sons play room and he never used it. So, we got a new bed!
Because she isn’t near big enough for a loft bed, we’ve turned it over and made her a four poster bed.
I’m going to buy some tulle and maybe some matching fabric to wrap around the posts and sides and make her a “princess” bed. We’ve put the ladder in the garage in case we decide to turn it over later on (it’s a huge waste of space now and took up the “play area” in their room and I wish she was big enough to sleep in a loft).
Any ideas on how to attach said fabric other than attacking it with a hot glue gun? I can sort of wrap it, but I suspect it will slide down the posts.
^ The bed is on top of where it shows in the image. The opening for the ladder is to the wall and that space is just open underneath.
Michael has Eshiva & Dorian at the dentist. He is getting his sealant done and cleaning and stuff. Eshvia got her cleaning done – they got some of the purple off! Not all of it 
I can’t afford to replace her crowns out of pocket, so… when she’s 20 we’ll have a funny story to look back on. The girl who loved purple so much, her teeth were purple for three years lol
I’m headed back to my dentist to have a filling removed and replaced. There is an air pocket or something in there and I haven’t been able to eat on the left side of my mouth or drink without a straw for two weeks. On Monday I went in, and the dentist I saw confirmed there was a problem, but couldn’t fix it b/c he didn’t do the filling. Fucker. So, no charge on Monday, and no charge today because it’s their fuck up. I thought part of the filling came out, but they said that was fine *shrugs* What do I know, it’s just my mouth, right?
I also noticed my silver fillings are gone – no one told me they were drilling them out and replacing them. I was told I have four cavities to fill (in two molars). Would have been nice if someone had told me they were magically under fillings I’ve had since I was 12 or so. Not that I mind the mercury gone, but seriously, if there was no reason for it, it’s worse to have them removed than to keep them from what I understand.
I’m also a bit worried about them taking this filling out to replace, because what if they seriously fuck up, get too close to the nerve, or remove too much of my actual tooth and I wind up needing a root canal or a crown or something? Is that also their fiscal responsibility?
Ugh, I hate doctors, of all types.
So Eshiva is a picker. She picks at bug bites. She picks at scabs. She picks her lips. Pick pick pick. How do I stop it?
She has scars on her elbows and arms from the picking. Her lip is scabby from the picking (I am constantly putting stuff on it, and I tried just giving her the stick of lip stuff but she eats it – I reapply once an hour or more often if I notice).
She picks, then she bleeds, then she asks for a bandaid.
Michael is concerned we’re going to wind up with a cutter (he feels she picks and then asks for the bandaid for attention).
I just don’t want her covered in scars.
Any way to stop this?
Went to the dentist this morning for Eshiva. Remember her purple crowns? Yah. We’ll be paying out of pocket to have them removed and replaced. The insurance won’t cover it because the other ones were not done that long ago (or something like that).
Lesson learned? Don’t let your kids with crowns drink anything with dye in it. Apparently, they also shouldn’t eat Cheetos, as they can turn them orange/yellow. Who knew? The dentist said she usually warns about the Cheetos, but had never seen them turn purple or blue. I bet red would turn them too.
They also took a new xray because of that fall she took a few weeks ago. She had a huge blood bruise inside her lip, but no discolouration outside, and the teeth were not loose, so I never took her in (I was going to, but as my dad said, what are they going to tell me?). No problems there. I have an appointment for July 17 to have the new crowns done. Then I just need to watch what she eats like a hawk. It’s almost tempting to get her a grill and do stainless steel crowns like the boys have on their molars lol I said almost
