Poor daughter Blue. She got her braces on yesterday. She is in so much pain. She can't really eat... (soup for dinner last night... a smoothie.... and scambled eggs for breakfast.) She's talking funny and her lips are all dry.
I feel so bad for her. I *sort of* remember what it feels like--the inability to bite together. Ugh.
So, she's in pain and moaning and generally being unpleasant to be around and that makes me feel guilty.
Gecko, the brother, went and cleaned up her room for her and made her bed. What a sweetie! He's the nicest boy in the world. I know. I'm his mom.
I hope Blue's pain eases up soon. I also hope no teasing occurs.
I remember teasing. It was awful.

There is an element of I wish I knew then what I know now. What I could do with that 17 year old body with this 40 year old mind! Hoooboy, look out!
Schitt, I'm 40!
Plus I thought I was getting sick (again) and then I remembered that I ran out of my anti-depressant a few days ago and haven't refilled. I better go get more before I start barfing!
Am I weird enough? Today I think so.

Wierdness is relative! LOL
Poor Blue. Gecko sounds incredible! You must be a great mom to have such great kids.
When my son got a retainer and couldn't go to sleep that night because of the discomfort, I laid in his bed with him singing silly songs and jumping up to dance and just get his mind off things. I'm pretty sure he's going to need therapy, now. :o)
BTW - Trish had tagged me to do 10 things, also, and I finally got around to doing it!
Ouch...new braces are so uncomfortable. All three of our kids have gone down that road. Pudding and applesauce and scrambled eggs were the rule in our house. LOL
Poor poor Blue...
But she will be/is a tough girl just like her momma.
We are all a little weird lately...I think it just takes 40 years to come to terms with and accept weird as part of our existence.
