So, my fever is gone and my sore throat has mostly gone away (*knock* on wood) but my teeth and gums still hurt. Which I suppose I can survive...well at least function. I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna get my teeth fixed so that I can start eating again, but I don't have insurance and can't afford it. I know, I know...bad planning...or lack there of. I did find a clinic that can do it...for cheaper than a regular dentist office...but I can't get in until Friday Sept. 7...which seems like forever when my mouth hurts this bad and I can't eat real food. Not to mention that would just be a "check-up" appointment that is required by the clinic, then I will have to make another appointment to fix whatever is wrong with me...hopefully without too long of a wait. I'm not sure I can make it, but I also don't think I have any other choice.
Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.
