- 9The boys made it to their dentist appointment yesterday!!! I did not cancel and I took them all by myself... no Mr. AFRo. Little Kid was cavity free, but BK had one small one that he's had for years that looked like the filling had come out. SO... I'll have to return to the dentist with him in two weeks to get that taken care of, but we're not thinking about that yet, I'm reveling in my accomplishment. K? Good.
- Big Kid has all four of his permanent 6 year old molars now. The dentist wants to seal them when we come back in two weeks. I've never heard of sealing teeth. It sounded like a good idea, but I'm wondering if you guys know anything about it. Please advise in as much detail as you've got. Thankyouverymuch.
- I have not made a trip to the library yet, but BK did on a field trip yesterday and guess what? He put a book on reserve for me to come and check out for him. Seriously, and it's all he's talked about since I picked him up from school yesterday. So, looks like I'm headed to the library at lunchtime today. I'm not nervous at all though, I'm just going to continue distracting myself until I walk through the door. Good plan? I know. Mr. AFRo is not coming along because I'm wearing my big girl panties today and I can do this. Right? Okay.
- LK's birthday party is next weekend. I don't do the elaborate crap that some of you other "super mommies" pull off so don't get your hopes up about getting any "good ideas" from me. I suck at the creative birthday party stuff. But, just so you know, the e-vites were a huge hit and most have RSVP'd... for the first time ever I have an actual head count for a party... and it's a week away. That is so awesome to me.
- Thanksgiving is approaching rather rapidly and that is traditionally my holiday to cook for Mr. AFRo's family. Know what that means? Yes. Wench drama. However, I told Donkey (who always makes the dressing) that he and his dressing were invited to my home... I did not extend the invite to include her. I think he caught my drift. But, in a couple of moments of weakness, I've almost called him back to invite her because Mr. AFRo says she won't dare show up even if I do. What would you do? I'm a grudge holder. So, don't bother telling me to get over it. Thankyouverymuch again.
- I try not to fuss about comments because it's just plain embarrassing to have to mention it and I know my usual intelligent, smartass, caring wonderful writing has been slacking a bit, but let's be honest... so have you guys. I love you and I know you love me so take the time to tell me occasionally okay? It does wonders for my writing ability, so let's get with the program.
- ETA: I am refusing to discuss the election because I am a sore loser. It's completely not fair that my candidate did not win. I should have known he wouldn't, you say? This should come as no surprise? Shut up. One day the Libertarians will take this country by storm. Mark my words. It's going to happen.
ETAA: I'm sorry, but I will never tell the stories of the night with BFF and the quotes that I posted. She and I share crazy and I'm not sure that any of you would find it as hilarious as I do. BFF's hubby, Cuz, looked at us like we were completely insane when we told him and Mr. AFRo suggested that we start making lists before our night out... yup, it was bad enough to constitute a list making suggestion. But, holy crap it was fun.
I left off one important quote from that night: progression regression. Any of you ever heard of this? Because BFF is an expert. ROFLMAO.

Get the teeth sealed, my kids have had their baby teeth as well as their adult teeth done, not a single cavity for any of them. Some Dental offices will tell you they don't seal baby teeth, but they do.
Keep the wench off the guest list, I just handed hosting duties off to my sister this year because her dumbass husband doesn't understand that I can't stand his trashy mother and he invited her to my dinner. I won't have her in my house. Ever. Instead I am making a small dinner for my immediate family and we will go visit everyone after.
Oh yea I will be cooking the turkey this year, and loving it. I say keep her off the guest list, although if she does come it may make for some great posts, so maybe do invite her!
We are off to the dentist in a couple weeks and for Abby it will be her first visit.
I love you, AFRo! :-)
And I believe it is very important to share The Crazy with your friends...
Go ahead and do the sealing. Worked for me for a very long time. It does wear off eventually but maybe now, with the new technology, it will be by the time that they have their OWN dental insurance. ;)
They seal them so the crap they eat doesn't get down in the crevices where the brush doesn't get.
That's the scientific answer of course.
I had my teeth sealed years ago and have since had my kids done as well. It's worth it! Basically it blocks out all the unwanted gunk from getting in there ruin their teeth.
I hear ya on the election. All I can say is I did my part for the Libs this year and damn proud of it ;o)
I hate when people don't comment either. Except its hard for me to comment. I can't always think of witty insightful things to add to a blog. Sometimes its usually said anyway.
My candidate didn't win either, its been depressing the last couple days.
You should get your kids' teeth sealed. I never had mine done (but will get my daughter's), but from what I know it's painless. They essentially paint a substance on the teeth that blocks plaque from penetrating the enamel, which means no cavities (and no un-fun dental visits for AFRo and fam down the road).
Good on you for not inviting the wench. It's your party, and you can invite who you want to. Also good for not trying to be a birthday party super-mommy. I think that birthday parties in this day and age have gotten way out of hand and far too competitive from a mother AND child stand point. Whatever happened to a few pizzas, cake and ice cream, and a good old fashioned sleepover?
I don't want to discuss the election either, and not just because I don't like getting into politics. At least I'll be able to say I didn't have a part in it; I voted for the other guy.
Afro I'll leave you comment crack. I am one of those who should comment more often. SORRY.
I agree seal the teeth. It just makes it WAY harder to get cavaties.
Don't invite the wench. I am having in-law issues so I wish I could do that.
Miss you bunches. We really need to have another gathering soon.
You know I luv ya. I enjoyed seeing you tonight!! You always know how to put a smile on my face. Glad the evites worked well. Get the teeth sealed. When I get settled, tell Strub we can have a gathering at my house next time but only if you invite me this time. LOL Oh and tell Wench to go fly a kite!!
Seal the teeth. Both of my older girls have had their teeth sealed. It's totally painless, and just fills in the crevices in the tops of the molars to help prevent cavities.
Don't invite the Wench. It's your house, and you have the right to invite or exclude anyone you want.
LOL about the super-mommy elaborate-crap!!
Thanks for not letting my crazy out of the box. I've done a pretty good job of keeping that hidden for a long time.
BTW, progression regression is real and not something to be joked about.
k
I swear our boys have similar dental stories! Eldest has had his molars sealed. It's a totally painless procedure that helps to stave off the Cavity Creeps. However, it's not foolproof, as Eldest has a brown spot on one of his that I'm quite positive is a cavity.
Get the teeth sealed. Momma did mine. And I'm twenty with not a single cavity.
Afro, I love your writing and recently gave you an award (see my 10/31/08 blog And the Award Goes To). I highly recommend you to my friends as a must read. keep it upJ
I love you Afro! It's just been hard lately and I have been MIA from the blogging world. I'm back in full force now though!
