Teeth, Sick Eleanore, Hard tummy

A few updates

Teeth: Apparently I have the worst teeth ever. (not really) I grind my teeth. Anyone who knows me, knows that this happens at night...every night...probably since the first day I had any teeth. I also clench my jaw-this is due to stress and habit. Those two things combined have lead to me slowly destroying my teeth. I break through any fillings which leads to cavities and then root canals. I had my first root canal today. It went well. Then Novocaine wore off. HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS! I still have more work to be done because I also have prophylaxis and a few other fillings to go but after that I get to have a fancy schmancy mouth guard to sleep in.

Sick baby girl: Eleanore is running a fever, for which seems like the 100th time this year. I know that babies get sick easily and they run fevers easily but I mean  come on! It is like once the poor child is back to normal, back to eating, and starting to gain weight she just gets sick again. I hate seeing her like this. I hate that she refuses to eat. She is such a tiny little girl to begin with because she is on the tall side. I hope this passes soon.


Hard tummy: Towards the end of my pregnancy with Eleanore my belly started feeling extremely hard and uncomfortable. I would notice that Ellie would prefer one side over the other and just sit there like a freaking hard rock. It was uncomfortable. I'm starting to notice that with Zoey. It is annoying and I'm definitely feeling it a lot earlier this time around so I wonder what that means. I've also had a lot of back pain and restless leg syndrome-I can't begin to describe how annoying that is.

Well the hard tummy, tooth achy momma to a sick girl is off to bed herself. I'm praying that Eleanore will have a good night's rest, she sure needs it.

Random Thursday Mini-Rant

Talk about 1st world problems...

I had a student today who told me that they didn't have their homework assignment. They forgot it at home. In reality, no big deal this happens all the time the student will receive a late grade as per school policy...the end.

Her mother emails me this afternoon...

"I'm sorry (my daughter) didn't turn in her homework this afternoon. Our maid must have thrown it away when she was de-cluttering our counter space. I'm sure these things happen all the time."

Oh of course...I mean when my maid walks in to my million dollar home I make sure to tell her not to de-clutter my expansive counter space. Silly maids.
