It’s one of those days.

I have too much stress in my life. Today nearly put me over the edge.

I woke up nauseated with a headache. It was that “I think I’m coming down with something” feeling. Ick.

Then Jonas was in total freak out mode over EVERY LITTLE THING mode all day. Just ducky.

Maggie and Jonas bickered all day over what TV show to watch (along with everything else they could possibly turn into a scream fest) until I got so fed up I had Chris take the TV out of their room. (Jonas wailed as though someone he loved had just been brutally murdered right in front of him- truly a primal scream of grief- this tells me that I DID THE RIGHT THING). They are SO DONE. Mama’s HAD IT UP TO HERE!

I had a million pressing things to deal with that I either barely completed or am now feeling guilty about. Peachy. Nothing improves my mood like guilt.

Someone cameover and passed judgement on my family. Not pleased. Not welcome.

The military screwed up our paycheck so now we are dead BROKE until August. Yippee Skippee.

Around lunchtime, as I was painfully trying to eat a plate of spaghetti, I realized that I really couldn’t take any more of the pain in my mouth. Yes, this is the pain that has been there since my wisdom teeth surgery from THREE MONTHS AGO. Yes, it’s the same pain that I have made countless visits to the oral surgery clinic about - only to have them say, “ I just don’t see anything here” for TWO FLIPPING MONTHS STRAIGHT- until FINALLY today, after being miserable, I see a new guy who takes one look at my mouth and without even looking at my x-rays says,

“Hmm. There’s a bone fragment working it’s way out of one of the surgical sites. That would explain why it just won’t heal and why you’ve been in so much pain. The other side, that is your bone trying to grow back, only going the wrong direction, which is causing that ridge, which is causing an open wound and that sensation that someone stuck a nail into your gums. If we don’t shave it off- it will be like that FOREVER. Oh- there is also a chance that in going in there we could damage the nerve there which could leave you with constant phantom pains, also for the rest of your life, but , hey, I’ve never actually seen that happen, just gotta let you know that it can. Especially with your track record.”

Surgery will be on Monday. Fan- flipping- tastic. I was hoping for a ton of pain and another round of drugs. ‘Cause, you know I just didn’t get enough last time around.

TUESDAY- Chris tests for his promotion. Being BROKE we could seriously use a promotion! I’m so glad all of this gets to happen and totally stress my husband out and fill his plate right before he has to take a huge life changing test. Really, really, thank you.

My current Mood? BLACK people. BLACK. Good feelings GONE.
