Oh well.)<br /><br />Oh, that wisdom tooth extraction can be rough. Good luck with that! But I understand, just getting it over with will be a relief.<br /><br />Aw, thank you. That's awfully nice of you to say. We went out to eat for Buttercup's birthday tonight. Throughout dinner and the drive home, they were all chatting about kids from school and giggling with the little boys. When the kids were little, I was worried about having 4 kids in high school together, what with rumors of teen angst and all. I am loving it.

I hope you never have to have them.

Seeing them at the Mock Trial and interacting with everyone between trials really hit the point home.<br /><br />Bryan and I are great painters, but we just don't have the equipment to tackle the foyer or the time to tackle the outside. I imagine that when the kids are grown I'll have a fully decorated house, seeing as how I won't have to worry about the boys destroying whatever I do. Realistically, though, I won't. There will be grandkids to entertain! (With 6 kids, I'm thinking I'll have at least a couple of grandkids, right?) :)<br />It's one of my favorites! One of these days I'm going to make a point of going to a Zumba class. <br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-1351768090290600642016-03-06T21:41:06.025-05:002016-03-06T21:41:06.025-05:00Really, the bandages looked like Silly Putty.

It was soooooooo uncomfortable. <br /><br />New paint smell isn't one of my favorites, except that it means something good is happening around here. It's amazing what a good coat of paint can do for a room. <br /><br />Bryan and I are very good painters. He worked for a painter for several summers then taught me how. Unfortunately, we don't have the scaffolding needed to tackle the foyer or outside of the house. Or the time. There is a LOT of prep work that needs done out there!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-48271605512629159262016-03-06T21:36:54.324-05:002016-03-06T21:36:54.324-05:00Yes, stitches.

I was thinking the same thing as I put more and more quarters into the stupid machine. Worst part is, I was paying for air that couldn't even fill my tires all the way.

I loved seeing the pic of Phoenix and Buttercup all dressed up smart for the mock trial, and WELL DONE BUTTERCUP for being the best witness.<br /><br />So glad you got your stitches out. Be my turn in a number of weeks - I (finally) got a referral to get my wisdom teeth removed, so I'm waiting for a call to assessment and then to surgery. It's gonna be GREAT! (in the way of 'getting a good thing done').<br /><br />I'm glad you've gotten to be the mother to all of your kids. I love how you mom.

One of my tyres went down so often I had to pump it up every month, and every year I've had a new tyre put on that one wheel - at £75 a time it wasn't cheap, but the problem never seemed to be solved until a few weeks ago when I went to a different place. Another new tyre (the last one was so worn it wasn't even road legal!) plus a complete new valve, which the first place had never bothered checking, and everything is as it should be :)<br /><br />And well done to Phoenix for doing whatever it was which has made you so proud of him :) :)<br /><br />Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.com
