Start of the weekend

Yesterday I took Abby to the dentist. She has no cavities! She has very healthy teeth! She did really well. The dentist was blown away with how smart she was for some reason. LOL He came in, asked her name, "Abby Kim", and how old she was "4 1/2". He asked her some other questions that she answered promptly and matter of factly, which impressed him. I was thinking he must not get around kids too often. LOL She is very smart but he was acting like she solved an equation. After that we met Phillip at work and went and ate at Chilis, after that we went to watch him play softball. Yesterday morning I took a chance and wore a sweater to work, good thing because it was CHILLY. I made Abby put her jacket on as always, and she hated it as always. She's always coming up with a new way to get it off. I told her she was not taking her jacket off. So she decides well I'll drop it off of my shoulders. I kept telling her Abby put your jacket on all the way because if you fall you won't be able to use your arms. Well sure enough, she came running to me, tripped on her own feet, and caught herself with her face. Blood EVERYWHERE. She busted her top lip and scraped under her nose pretty bad. I hate that feeling of sheer panic and fear and that shoots through you when you don't know how badly they're hurt. UGH! I got her fixed up and we left his game early. The swelling has gone down quite a bit. I will post pics of the dentist and her fat lip later.

I was rather productive today, now I'm feeling exhausted. My work has really been stressing me lately. I feel like I can barely make it to Friday, and I'm almost useless on the weekend. Today I cleaned the house which I normally do on Sunday, and ran errands. Abby and I went to Garden Ridge to get some Halloween decorations and some new throw pillows for the living room. They had some cute letters there so I was going to get KIM, they had I and M but no K. That was aggravating. I got over it and then we went to Korean grocery. I went to the old one this time, the other one is pricier and waaay busier. Well the old one is now remodeling most likely to keep up with competition. I got all our groceries and Abby and I had lunch there. They have a cafe type place there. It was a good trip, in and out.

So, we get home and I decided to put some of the yard decorations out before I took in the groceries. Abby had asked if she could help take in the groceries, I told her yes but she had to wait for me. So I go about what I'm doing and I heard a noise like something dropped, I didn't hear any crying so I kept on. When I went back to the car Abby is standing outside the back passenger door. She looks at me and says "sorry". She tried to carry the Kimchi in the house! It's heavy even for me! Anyway, apparently she tried lifting it, dropped it, then managed to get it BACK in the car. Needless to say the juice went ALL on the floor board. There was just a drizzle on the ground so I figured it wasn't broken that bad, but when I lifted it, it poured everywhere! It took me an hour to clean the garage floor and try to get as much as I could off the floor board. I have to have my car detailed tomorrow to get rid of the smell. For those of you that don't know what Kimchi smells like, it smells like...well....trash. It's cabbage that is fermented in spices. Cabbage alone smells bad. Needless to say after last night and today, my nerves are a little shot.

This evening I'm babysitting my nephews which I haven't done in awhile. Phillip and I took them and Abby to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua. It was really cute! The boys liked it. I'm here...blogging. Phillip and Abby passed out and the boys went on to bed. I was surprised Phillip was done with softball early so Abby and I got to spend some time with him today. Usually we see him on Friday night and Sunday. lol Tomorrow we're going to our friends house for an early dinner, I will have to wrap that up early, I'm tired and I have a big week ahead of me.

Toodles!

Whinings of the week

So, I found the culprit of Abby's recently developed foul mouth. Her name is Olivia and she's 4 1/2. I picked Abby up today and she asks me if "kill" is a bad word. I told her it depends, but it's not something you should say to people. I know it sounds dumb but she's 4 1/2 I can't get too detailed. Then she asks what's feces and is it a bad word. GEEZ! I asked her where she's hearing these words.......Olivia. I will have to talk to the teacher tomorrow. When I asked Abby if she told the teacher she said no "we aren't supposed to tattle tail". This teacher needs to be specific on what not to tattle on because clearly my child is the opposite of me....and follows rules. There are always going to be kids who are exposed to more than the next one and you can't be everywhere all the time, but this teacher setting a "tattle tail" rule I think encourages this behaviour and also on some level makes the children that have been taught differently, think it's ok. I agree every time John Doe says hush, that doesn't need to be reported. The teacher should make clear that bad words, or someone harming you should be reported. I may be overanaylizing but, whatever.

On another note. It's been one week since I should have taken my depo shot and, some weird things are happening in my temple. lol My right nipple is sore as all get out! And some other things I'll spare the details on, and no I'm not pregnant. I've just been on that shot since Abby was born, actually 4 months after Abby was born. I think weird things are expected to happen until my body is back to normal. Phillip and I "discussed" and I use that loosely, having a baby this past weekend. His take on it is the same as everything else that requires thought and planning....I have to do it! Basically I'm not going to take birth control, and when I get knocked up we'll decide a plan of action. (insert rolling eyes here) He did say he doesn't want to send "her" he's already convinced it will be a girl, I don't care either way, but he doesn't want her to go to daycare. So guess what that means....Marteel gives up independence and her own money again. That part I'll decide when I get there. I really like Primrose where Abby is, and I think I would feel confident leaving my 6 week old there. Who knows. I'm not real excited about being a stay at home mommy again. I loved staying home with Abby that 2 1/2 years but, I was in desperate need of adult interaction, and I found it made me feel alot crazier than I already am. LMAO The future is yet to be seen.

More babies??

Quite possibly. Well at least one more. Yes Phillip and I are in discussion of this. My shot is due tomorrow and I'm not going to get it. We will discuss in depth this weekend. It's hard deciding to plan a child. If you put too much thought into it you won't do it. You can never prepare yourself to be a parent, you can never be more mature, or have enough money. There is no way to plan for what-ifs. That's life period without even bringing a child into it. I love being Abby's mom. Obviously there are cons to having children. Phillip and I didn't have the greatest experience the first time around ( don't get me wrong I love my Abby and I would do it all over) but, it's left a bad taste in our mouth. LOL We're pros now, it would be different the second time around. Nevertheless it still requires some thought and I think it requires both people wanting to do it. Abby has been talking about a sibling for a long time. I won't have another one just for Abby's sake. I've actually been pondering it for some time. No conclusion yet. I don't think we'll "try". I think I will just stop taking birth control and it will happen when it happens. We'll see.

Caught on tape- Abby drops the F bomb

Phillip and I make a conscious effort not to say bad words around her. Children are exposed one way or another anyway. They really only have to hear it once.

Trip to the dentist

I went to the dentist today to see about my wisdom tooth. Well, it hasn't broken through, but it is just below the tissue. Both of my upper ones are just below the tissue, no roots yet. My bottom two are below the bone, no roots yet. I do however have 5 count them 5 cavities. Yes, I am 27 years old and have cavities. I brush twice a day, not three times a day. Needless to say even though I don't eat alot of sweets I DO drink 3 espressos every morning with sugar, and 2 , mountain dews in the afternoon. So I might as well eat candy all day! So I now have my travel toothbrush, toothpaste, and fluoride rinse in my makeup bag and I will be brushing my teeth after coffee, and after lunch. I also will now have to make myself drink sugar free drinks. I just brewed some tea and that will not get sweetened and I will drink that with dinner. My coffee I can't live without but, mountain dew will have to be a treat from now on.

Anyway, I was really prepared to see some high numbers for having all four wisdom teeth pulled, it's actually not that bad. For all 4 without insurance would be $1521.00. I have PPO so I will pay 20% of 1521.00 Not too bad. For all my cavities and a cleaning $1221.00, but I will pay 20% of that. Actually I'll pay less because they are contracted with Aetna, so they can only bill me what Aetna says they can bill me. :) It pays to deal with insurance all day everyday. I can't be shafted. lol So my mouth after these are filled will pretty much be all fillings! I scheduled Abby's appointment for next Thursday. Let's all hope she didn't get my teeth genes.

Rather uneventful

Not much happening this weekend which is good considering the week I had at work. My friend Michelle came over yesterday and dyed my roots for me. I will have to redo them Friday because my hair is so dark it takes a couple of times to get it blonde. My curtains came in. I like them. I will post pics later. Phillip played softball yesterday didn't get home until 1:00 am. We're going to my moms for a little while this afternoon. Phillip may be selling my car. Only to this one person, so if he doesn't buy it we will stick with the original plan which is pay it off and go get a Santa Fe and he will finally be rid of that POS sunfire. If this guy does buy it we'll go get the Santa Fe sooner than anticipated, and we'll still have to buy him another car. I really like the new Santa Fe it's got 7 passenger seating, but I may end up liking the new Sonata instead. It will depend on the gas mileage difference.

I'm pretty sure my wisdom tooth is trying to come in on the upper left side of my mouth. It hurts pretty bad. The gum all around is REALLY swollen. The dentist has been telling me for years to get them all taken out because it will shift my teeth. I still haven't done it because it's hell of expensive. We'll see. Maybe it will just stop hurting and decide not to come down? lol

Blast from the past

So I've been burning all of Abby's baby pictures and videos. OMG I miss my baby! I love watching her grow and watching her personality develop but it's so sad seeing the little baby she used to be. =( Anyway, thought I'd share some.
