a princess and a tooth....

monday evening i was loading the dishwasher (still a bittersweet thing, but i do love it!), hubby was upstairs, mapboy was on the computer and princess was reading. all of a sudden princess let out a very loud scream. i turned to see her perched on the back of our couch. now, i immedietly see myself 5 years old screaming from the back of our green couch because i had just seen a mouse. and since we have recently caught 3 ourselves, i was a bit freaked out.

but being the mommy now, i have to be a big girl. so i go in, fully expecting to see a mouse. instead, i am met with a handful of slobbery air head and "i just cracked my new tooth!!!!" oh she surely didn't do that....

i have her open up, new tooth is still intact, but the air heads have magically wiggled the sliver of baby tooth left behind the new tooth. now, this tooth has slowly been disappearing for about 2 years. yes, truly disappearing. much to my delight and her panic, it was finally coming out.

there were tears, big crocodile tears. there were sobs and words said between the sobs with a rag stuffed in her mouth. oh my!! i held her on my lap and offered to pull it out. now, i honestly don't know what i would have done had she said yes, but i offered. she declined and sobbed some more.

princess had planned on a tuesday afternoon playdate. i needed to call the mom to confirm. i was telling princess this and she said she didn't want the play date!!??! what?? she'd been begging for a good few months. she was "nervous" the tooth would fall out. i told her it would be just fine if it did - even when her friend was here. i sent her upstairs to get ready for bed. princess was determined to keep that tooth in tact!

i called dear friend to confirm play date. we made some small talk and then i hear "my tooth is out! my tooth is out!!!" those were shouts of joy, or freaking out. i hung up abrubtly and ran upstairs to find her spitting in the sink. there was this tiny - i mean tiny sliver of a tooth!!

we wrapped it and placed in our tooth fairy box....all was well, until we took friend home after playdate. can you believe while there she found that there was still part of the tooth in her mouth? it was nice quiet ride home. she just knew if she talked it would come out...

so sitting at the table, while i'm serving supper, princess reaches in, yanks the rest out, hands it to me, and promptly begins talking again...

we opted to not ask the fairy to come back for this piece!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

they're here!!!!

this is not how i left my house this morning. in fact, i wanted to take a picture of kitchen set-up #2. it was really quite a nice set-up my hubby did! very functional and i was pleased. but i came home this afternoon to my kitchen being moved to the dining room and boxes everywhere!!!!!!! as you can see....the cabinets are in and some are going up RIGHT NOW!!! isn't she pretty? i can turn each shelf by itself. look there are four drawers in the picture. i am used to only 1 drawer....what will i ever do with so many drawers? see those boxes above....i think i'll be able to start putting them away - maybe even tonight, although with idol, the olympics, and a very important mom's morning talk to prepare the box emptying may just have to wait! if you look closely you can find the red trim paint we sampled....i can't wait for the full effect ahh.....did i mention the countertops won't be installed until the 27th at the earliest and that i'm not without a kitchen ...
