Calgon, Take Me Away...A Life Vent

Ok, so what a day! I'm still in a great mood, but it's just been a bit crazy. First of all, Mike had those 2 bottom wisdom teeth surgically removed at the Dentist office today. I took off early to make sure he was ok to drive; He's just in a state of shock with the numbness and goes straight home, forgets to call me. I get there, no Mike. I've been going there all my life so the girls just laugh, said he was kindof out of it, ready to go. I got home and he was doing ok, but looked like he could pass out. I think he just felt "weird".

We let Hunter drive his Diego Jeep in the front yard for a while and then decided to go to the nearby park so he can have some fun in the large, empty parking lot. We have a blast! He's getting the hang of the steering and looks cute since he always has to have his big Diego life size doll beside him. Today, he's wearing his Diego shirt, holding Diego and driving the Diego Jeep. Gee, ya think he's a fan? :)

Mike insisted we go there before dropping off the RX so Hunter could enjoy the incredible weather. It also took his mind off the numbness of his face. We dropped off the RX and they say it will be an hour, the parking lot and drive thru are packed. What is going on? Then, we remember that they lost power last night and someone in line I knew said it was this morning before they got it back. They are WAY behind. Get there after getting some dinner and they haven't filled it. No date on the slip and it's a narcotic. GREAT! After 2 other pharmacies and about an hour later, we finally get it filled. I get home before my dentist calls and says he's calling the pharmacy now. So now, Mike has to go back out to get it...He's got tears in his eyes he is so in pain now. I could cry myself. I KNEW he could feel it BIGTIME.

He's taken the meds now and it's feeling better. Don't think he'll be at work tomorrow. Evidentally, they both were in there pretty good. The left one had to be cut in pieces with the saw, came out in several pieces and stitches in their place. UGH! So, the worst is over we hope. Im just stressed, seeing the pain on his face. I'm just destressing, working on some pictures and my New Year's Resolutions. Let's see what I've come up with the last couple days of the New Year. NO Particular order here...
