Running Around
It seems like I'm constantly in my car these days. I live in a smallish town, and lately it seems as though I have neverending appointments in "the city". My OB is there, and you know they can never schedule regular appointments and ultrasounds or other testing on the same day. I took my son to the dentist yesterday and he has a cavity which he needs to go back next week to get filled. I also had studio photos of my kids done yesterday and wouldn't you know that they won't be ready until the day AFTER my last scheduled appointment. Grrr. Normally, this wouldn't bother me as the driving isn't that bad, it's the price of gas these days. It's damn expensive to be driving back and forth all the time!!I'm stressed out about my kids filling next week. Personally, I don't "do" the dentist. I haven't been to a dentist in about 15 years. I had SO many traumatizing things happen at the dentist when I was a kid. An example? How about the time when the dentist shoved the freezing needle right into one of my facial nerves? I have plenty of other equally disturbing stories. Anyhow, I'm trying to get over it and I realize that while it's a personal choice to avoid the dentist, my kids must see one. I did go to the trouble of finding a highly recommended pediatric dentist that is REALLY far out of my way and costs more than other dentists, but I'm trying to avoid my kids being tortured as I was. I'm worried about something bad happening to my son while he's getting this filling. I'm worried that I won't handle it well and will freak him out. So far he enjoys going there (could have something to do with the play structure in the office) and I really hope that doesn't change.
Lastly, I'm currently STARVING which is a common occurence lately.
