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.

Weary Wednesday
It feels like Monday. It's been really hectic at work. The company is growing, and so are my responsibilities. There have been discussions about making me supervisor, but I just can't see that happening. I already do the duties of a supervisor, who knows what they'll have me do if they actually give me the title! Abby officially has 2 boyfriends. It was 3 last week but apparently they "breaked away" as Abby put it. She asked me today if she could kiss them when they're married. Some of the other little girls are having issues since all the little boys dote over Abby. The teacher told me today she has to keep a close eye because the other little girls act ugly when they see the boys over by Abby competing for her attention. LMAO She's been drawing tons of pictures. She is getting really good at drawing people. I like her bug drawings, those she does well. I will have to take a picture of my office and post it here. It is a shrine for Abby's artwork, and pictures of her. LOL
I found my next purchase for the house. I'm creating a sitting area where the technical dining room is. There was a half wall between that area and the living room when the house was built and the first dumb ass that bought this house tore it down, so this will go in it's place to divide the space. Anyway, here it is, I'm going to have two chairs and a table in between them with a lamp and books, and whatever else. The next chore is to find the curtains I have pictured in my mind. ;) Once I get my floor it will be even better!

Stuff
Not much to report here. I spent the day with my mom today, and then Abby's friends from across the street came over after we got home and left about 20 minutes ago. The kids are really sweet and they love Abby but, their parents have ALOT of energy. They are both chatty Kathy's. Phillip and I aren't very sociable people, so we stick with the friends we have and tend to not go outside of them. I really suck at being fake, and people know when I'm being fake....because I suck at it. Some people are just bubbly and full of things to say, I would rather you wrap up your whole weeks worth of stories in 10 minutes tops. Don't take a damn week to tell me about your week. I don't wave and say "hi" to my neighbors, hell I don't even say good morning to people at work. It offends people at first but once they get to know me they just accept the fact that I'm not friendly unless I know you and like you otherwise, don't look at me and don't talk to me because I really don't give a shit. =) Yeah yeah I'm mean, whatever.
I have been making an effort lately to try to be one of those "all american moms" that knows other moms names, and their kids names. I've started with the people across the street. Even though I'd rather them just smile and say "hi" from their house, when they decide to come to my yard I engage in conversation. I've started talking to the moms at Abby's school when I pick her up. It requires big effort. I used to be on a couple of moms boards and I ended up leaving them because the moms are fake and judgmental. These moms at Abby's school are like that too. The only reason I'm bothering is for Abby. If I don't try to be sociable and make myself known Abby will suffer for it because everyone one will think her mom is a weird bitch and she'll never get invited anywhere. It's friggin politics, they're everywhere they can't be escaped. So I'm trying really hard. Especially since she'll be starting school next year. I think I'll have the hang of it by then. We'll see.
On another note. We will be starting "house projects" next weekend. I think I've decided to start with recycling some furniture. There are alot of little things I want to do. One of the other things we will be doing that isn't really a "project" but, we're getting a new t.v.. We've gotten our money's worth out of the one we have. My major project is to get new floor! That won't really be "my" project but rather me paying someone to do it. =) If I could just have my damn floor I probably wouldn't do another damn thing to this house. LOL
****Also, I got everyone's emails about not being able to post comments, umm.. I think you have to be a blogger or have a gmail account because I set mine to private so it wouldn't pull on search engines. I will look at my setting but, I won't make it public, so get a gmail account, or just keep emailing your comments. :)
