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...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
