Not Playing Hooky

I have the day off.

I went to the dentist at 10:40.

I asked him to have the nitrous running when I walked in the door.

He numbed up the entire right side of my mouth.

Then he proceeded to do something called "gum scaling."

I was glad my mouth was numb.

The noises his machines made almost gave me a triple anxiety attack.

He filled two cavities - one of which he told me was almost to the point of needing a root canal.

Thanks, dude. Makes me feel so much better about being here.

Bryan picked me up (nitrous oxide = no driving).

I bit my tongue three times on the way home.

I almost choked to death trying to swallow Advil.

I'd rather be at work.

Not Laboring

I love today. I look forward to it every year. It's the first day "off" for teachers after going back to school.

I know, I've only been back at work for four weeks (three of them with the kids) but I long for summer. I miss sitting on my deck with coffee, Bible and computer in hand. I miss my Tuesdays with Bryan. I miss the random midday margaritas with girlfriends, impromptu lunches and even the extra money made babysitting. :-)

I have a few pictures to post and a couple of stories to tell, but I'm putting it off for just a little while longer.

There's a Monk marathon I must go watch. :-)

Happy Labor Day!
