I know it's been a bit since I've blogged, but I have a really good explanation for my absence. Or my actually being here but not writing. Or reading. It was the first week of school. Incoming freshmen, textbooks, sophomores eating mechanical pencils, outrageous fees for text books.
Oh, don't even get me started about textbooks and other things that must be purchased for kids to attend "free" public school.
I actually had to tell three sophomore boys in my English class to spit out parts to a mechanical pencil into a trash can.
Me: Ladies, spit the pencil parts into the trash can.
Boy#1: I'm not chewing on a pencil.
Me:
Boy#2 (with a spring from his mechanical pencil in his mouth): He's not chewing on pencil. He's chewing on a pen.
Me:
Boys: Fine!
Me: Dudes, eat a Pop Tart. Pencils just don't digest well.
The whole thing is just a pain in the

My tooth broke a few months back while I was eating oatmeal. Yeah, I know. Weird.
It didn't hurt and it's far enough back that no one can see it and for the most part, I forgot that the part left was even in there.
Until Tuesday when part of the remaining tooth broke again.
Ow.
Now what's left is loose and it provides me endless hours of sweet agony.
Did you remember having a loose tooth as a kid and you couldn't keep your tongue from moving it back and forth?I am trying really hard not to do that.
I love the sky in Briana's picture. The sunsets are spectacular out here.
Briana won't admit it, but she thinks I'm funny.On the flip side, if I do leave it alone, it doesn't hurt.
It annoys me that I occasionally have dental problems because I am really quite fanatical about brushing my teeth and flossing. I only know about four people who floss.I am the only one in this house who does.
I am also the only one in this house who has dental problems.
I started flossing like a wild woman when I had to have a root canal and it lasted longer than my labor for the Butterbean.
Although this is Jacquie's face and not mine, her expression sums up my whole week.But still, I praise God for my job and having dental floss.
Until next time...

School starting already? Do you have a year-round schedule?
yep year round in our district. Our kids go to the same school. The picture with my sweet daughter smiling I just love it, set it up as her picture on my phone. And that tooth again, let me pull it for ya.
~ We go year-round but we get several good breaks during the year. It just seems like this summer went by really fast.
It was over right around the time I had gotten my body to sleep in until around 8:30.
And Lisa...if I get that tooth pulled, they'll have to drug me up well before I let it happen.

Back tracked through your blogs to catch up! So sorry about the tooth; I hope you feel better soon. Your pictures are absolutely amazing!
Get some oil of clove until you get to the dentist. It tastes like goat pee but it works.
Don't ask.
Wait..are you an English teacher? I didn't know!
I do hope your tooth is better soon.
And thank goodness, we've never had to pay for school books around here. I hope we don't ever. :(
TARA!!! Me too. About the floss deal. I am fanatical about brushing and flossing. And I am the one with all the dental problems. My husband, who never flosses, goes to the dentist and Dr. Omar tells him what a great job he does flossing! How annoying is that? I have a $9000 root canal and cap and my husband has not even had a cavity since we've been married!
I hope your's is resolved soon.
