i had to laugh last night when i was talking to my friend deneen. i had mentioned the journal your christmas class. and she told me that "you HAVE to share some more of your pages"! lol! here’s the thing … i’m now 9 day behind. so i’ve done 3 of the 12 days. lol! not bad odds for me really. those first few days fell on the weekend and then a non-busy monday … so i had no problem fitting them in. then life happened. kids running around all day … lots of kids. and by the time they left at night … i was too tired to do anything that required thought. so i put it off.

but since my desk is clean … therefore clearing up my mind … i was ready to work on it some more. so yesterday while the babies were sleeping … i started 4 pages. i have 9 to catch up … so that fact that 4 of those are almost done is good. i just need to journal them and then i will share what i have tomorrow!

right now … as i type this … joe is off getting 5 teeth pulled out! he had a tooth that needed to come out … and i guess they figured why not do the wisdom teeth while we’re in there. they weren’t bothering him at all. but we figured it really wasn’t going to cost us much more to do them all at once. and since we have a certain amount of $$$$$ that the insurance will put out for dental … we figured we might as well use it. my mom took him over there since i have all the kids. i had mine pulled out about 15 years ago … so i can’t remember what to expect. i do have some jello and pudding in the fridge … and other random soft foods. lol! he should be pretty out of it once he gets back. he worked last night … in fact he worked 11 hours (plus the hour commute). meaning he left for work about 7pm last night … worked all night and got home at 8am this morning … and then left for this appointment at 9:30. so they may not have even had to put him to sleep … he probably just dozed off on the table! lol! i think the worst part was that he had to work all night … but couldn’t eat or drink at all. how do you do physical work  (he works nights in grocery) … and not have at least some water or something?!?!

updated: joe’s back and totally out of it. lol! he was so hungry that he was trying to eat tons of stuff … but not much success seeing as he couldn’t feel anything, couldn’t chew, and was still bleeding pretty good. finally got his pain pill in him though and he’s out cold upstairs!

and i’ll leave you with a few cute pictures of nikolas … hate to post without a picture! love the look in the first picture … the big eyed "what the heck" look. and the second one isn’t great … but shows his bright, toothless smile!
