Damaged Tooth and Vacation

When Riley finished up at Gymnastics Tuesday night she was coming up the stairs to where I wait and took a pretty bad fall up the steps. She hurt her fingers and had a nasty scrape under her chin. She is a pretty tough cookie but she was SCREAMING bloody murder by the time I finally pushed through the other parents that were waiting on their daughters to come up the stairs. After I soothed her it appeared that she only had the fingers and chin injury but now it appears she may have damaged one of her back teeth. She started complaining about her tooth hurting beginning on Wednesday and with each day she says it hurts worse. The way she described her pain at first I thought she may have bit the inside of her cheek or I would have taken her earlier....MOTHER OF THE YEAR HERE!!!!! We have an appointment with her dentist in the morning to see if maybe it is just a painful cavity (I have only ever had one cavity and I don't recall it hurting...I didn't know I had it until the x-ray was done) or if her tooth is cracked or something.....yikes.

Planning a vacation S.U.C.K.S....unless you get to do all of the planning....that would probably be fun. Jamey and I have never really gone on "vacation". We took a few weekend trips when we first got married and we have gone to St. Mary's often but that was just us visiting and staying with his family....no planning really involved there. Planning this trip is much different. We will be traveling to a destination with two small children, staying in a condo (because Jamey decided we were going to do that instead of where I had planned), visiting Disney World and visiting Sea World....both of which require detailed planning in order to not get overwhelmed with choices and decisions once you are there. You don't want to go all that way and spend all of that money just to keep saying to each other "Whadda you wanna do? I dunno, whadda you wanna do?"

I am very excited and even more giddy for the kids. They are going to love this trip...if their parents do not strangle each other during the planning stages. Jamey's idea of "helping" is letting me spend tons and tons of painstaking time planning everything by myself and then he looks everything over before we finalize it and picks it completely apart down the the very last detail. He did have some really great ideas but come on man!!!!!! Jump on board from the beginning if you want to "help"....don't go undoing all of my doing!!!! I am pretty much over my frustration with him from the other night because we are getting to go and we are going to have a blast and that is the most important thing.

Yep, this is why I call my blog Joy's Therapy.....sometimes I need a little therapy!!!!!!

Later Gaters!!!!!
