This 'N That

* Miss K had a dental appointment yesterday.  I was beyond relieved to discover the dark stains on her bottom teeth were not only NOT bottle rot, but they were removable! My baby girl now has shiny sparkly teeth once again! And my guilt as a mama has been lifted! On the downside, she does have some cavities that will need to be filled under general anesthetic in Saskatoon...boo!

* Andrew turns two in less than a month and has yet to hit some markers for 24 months old (enter mama guilt previously lifted).  Kids at this age should be saying between 25-30 words.  Andrew is speaking...zero words.  He babbles and chats in his own little way but has yet to say anything we recognize.  I'm putting him on the waiting list to get in to see a speech therapist.  In the mean time, we'll keep working on making talking exciting and really cheering when he says anything that sounds close to a word :)

* Speaking of mama guilt, Andrew is also now almost fully immunized.  I had his two month needles done and then just forgot about the rest of them.  He has to go again in September for his boosters and then he'll be done until age four.  Poor lil' duder had to get four needles and bawled his mis-shapen head off.  Miss K got her four-year needles and took it like a champ.  She watches me get my anxiety injection (every two weeks in my ass cheek) so that likely took away some of her fear of needles.  Granted, I have a lot of padding in my buttocks which is why I don't flinch the same as I do when I'm getting blood taken :)

* Safeway and Carters can both go screw themselves.  I applied for jobs with each of them and got jobs with neither.  Safeway was looking promising and the interviewer said she would phone the next day.  Never heard from her again.  I thought I nailed the Carters interview for manager in training (Hello? I ran my own store!).  Turns out there were "more qualified applicants".  Bullshit.  They were probably just afraid I'd end up taking their jobs.  Whatever.  My plan now is to get back on the sub list for teaching.  Winter is a horrible time for me, mental health wise, so this way, I can work when I feel good and not feel guilty when I don't feel well enough to take a job.

* We are selling the quad and I'm quite sad about doing so, but we need the extra cash right now (to pay off our lease).  The kijiji ad will say something along the lines of "Excellent quad.  Only flipped once but it had a soft landing on a human, so no damage".

* I'm heading to a psychic party on Friday.  I've never had a reading done and am pumped to see what this woman has to say about me.

* I miss blogging.  I need to get back into and do it more regularly.  I've said it before that there are so many inane things that come to mind that I think about sharing and then I forget or get too busy and end up not posting anything.  We'll see if I actually stick to this.  It is summer time, after all :)
