Wow, this may have been the longest I’ve gone without making a post. Things have been a bit crazy as of late with a trip to Nashville the end of last week, my son’s playoff football game in Houston over the weekend, and then the most exciting activity of all: I got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday! Have I ever mentioned before that I’m not a fan of any procedure that involves my teeth? (As if anyone is, huh?) I got one wisdom tooth out in my college years and it concluded with a fainting episode, so needless to say, I didn’t rush back to get the last three removed. I have somehow managed to successfully ignore my dentist’s recommendation to get the final three removed for over two decades. Until now.
This time around was fairly uneventful since they knocked me out fully for the procedure. My recovery has gone well except for a minor little episode last night where the Vicodin didn’t sit well on my empty stomach. Which begs the question: Why do they prescribe something that must be taken with food after a procedure that has left you with little ability to put food into your stomach? I’ll spare you the details, but I found it rather ironic that the Vicodin was prescribed to reduce the pain in my jawline yet ended up being the cause of it in the end.
All is well today. I have no discomfort other than some slight soreness and I have NO SWELLING! I’m working on a “mean girls” post and hopefully, it will be up tomorrow. That is, if I can get it done in between naps and ice cream sherbet breaks. 
Oh girlfriend. Wisdom teeth removal is poohie
But I’m glad to hear you’re doing better! And I’m sad to hear you were here and I missed it!
Well that’s a cruddy way to spend your “day”. Get better soon.
Oh I am so sorry….hope you continue to feel better..You should be all better just in time for Thanksgiving festivities!
So sorry about your wisdom teeth adventure! It’s a doozy!
But….please hurry!
I need that Mean girl post quick!
My 16 year old is struggling with some mean bullying from a “Christian” girlfriend. It’s so hurtful!
We’ve been down this road before with the same girl….but it’s getting deeper and heavier this go round!
Thanks Vicki!
Praying you feel great soon!
Vicki – Praying your healing is quick and there are no more little incidences. I have so far avoided having my wisdom teeth out and I pray I never will have to have them removed! Too many horror stories. Yuck!
I am really looking forward to your post on mean girls. My friends and I were having a discussion about just this topic this morning. I have felt led to start up a pre-teen girls ministry @ church and we met this morning to start planning our first mother-(pre-teen) daughter conference for the spring. I am reading up on the topic right now (including Your Girl and the 5 Conversations book). I would love any input or suggestions you have in this area as far as getting things started up.
Blessings,

The most random photo (s) are the ones i take when shopping. I have some outdoor light boxes so I remember what they look like and I even take pictures of the price tags. When I’m ready to buy I can just order the ones I want. Makes life a little easier.
Hope you feel better.
