Dentists, Waiting Rooms, and Christmas
Posted By Amy on October 26, 2005
Spent the morning at the dentist. Ethan had 3 fillings and Kate had to have sealants. The appointment was for 9:30am, we didn’t get out of the office until noon. I was out in the waiting room with the angel. Maggie did well for the first hour but after that it was naptime and I had forgotten her bottle, she became extremely cranky.
Hell hath no fury as a 22 month old trapped in a dental office waiting room.
I had originally hoped that by scheduling an early appointment I would be able to get Ethan back to school to catch at least one class before lunch and the last two after lunch. I failed to remember that today was minimum day schedule, his classes were shorter and school let out an hour early.
By the time we arrived at the school, just as lunch was ending, he only had one class left. As he got out of the car he realized that he had not put his bookbag in the car. I could see forgetting it because we were in a hurry to get to his dental appointment, but we did stop back by the house after for Maggie’s bottle…
After 2 and half hours in a dental chair I can see why he might have forgotten though.
So, Ethan missed the entire day and a math test. Not that he would have been much good in math he was already falling asleep by the time we got to the school anyway.
It was a rough appointment.
I have 90% of the Christmas shopping done for the family. All I have to do is shop for the kids, Mike, and pick up their stocking stuffers. And, it’s not even Halloween! Yippee!









Woah! I haven’t even STARTED Christmas shopping yet. You are good.
Zube I wish it were as accomplished as it sounds. Outside of our house… the list isn’t very long, I’m afraid. But with that out of the way I can focus on the kids and I probably won’t finish that until a few days before Christmas. LOL Still, this is the first year I’ve started before Halloween.
