I have no energy. It’s been drained by a toothache so painful that I spent a large portion of my day with my finger shoved against my tooth and whimpering at anyone who would listen. Thankfully, I was surrounded by a compassionate audience.

I really need to get to a dentist and have it taken care of but I’ll admit that fear is a large part of what keeps me from going. I’m not eager to be sedated but I’m not sure I can do any procedure without some sort of sedation…make sense?

Anyway, today was lovely. It was Shannon’s birthday so we went over there to celebrate and babysit Joshua’s brothers while she and David went out to eat dinner. Noah decided he was going to say a new word (”doggy”) and that he wanted to run around the house like one of the big boys.

I feel like my life has come together, even if money and financial stability continues to elude me. My husband loves me. My son loves me. My family loves me. That’s what is important.
