Toothless

Well, I called hubby on our way out of the dentist's office (with our 8 year old) and told him that if we have anymore children, they would have to be toothless--and stay that way. After spending thousands on her teeth last year, two of her silver teeth need to be pulled and four of her back molars need to be filled. Total:$1,390.00. How can an 8 year old have that many teeth to amount to that much money???? The 3 year old just had $6,000 worth of dentistry done in March. What is wrong with this picture? Me? I haven't been to the dentist in 12 years! Good grief. While brushing our son's teeth last night, I noticed that he, too, has a cavity, so he's to be scheduled for a dental check.

As to the pup, I think we're getting a new doggie! Our current dog has always eaten dry cat food (Wal-Mart's special kitty). Dear Husband thinks that's too expensive. Though we didn't actually get a "yes" out of him, when he was looking at Moss's picture (in an email) he said that he was going to be a big dog and we'd have to feed him dog food because we couldn't afford to feed him cat food. Makes sense to me.....

Well, I'm going to try to recover from the dentist's shock. With our teeth history and the costs of dentistry these days, we may just start sticking to soft foods and forget it....we can always slurp down some soups! Hey, there's jello, puddings, soups, gravies, custards...I'm on a roll.....

Later!
