Tiiiiiiired.

That's me!

I had all four wisdom teeth taken out last wednesday. Right before Thanksgiving...smart, I know. They weren't hurting me, but they had issues and my dentist has highly recommended their removal for the last 2 years. It was put off for my pregnancy with Lexi and let's face it, I'm not getting any younger and they weren't going to fall out on their own. However, they had an opening a week before Thanksgiving and I grabbed it to get-r-done. Who wants to Christmas shop when their mouth hurts like hell?

Anyway, I was sedated (awesome stuff!), tucked in, prepared and they went to work. I swear I didn't fall asleep, but I don't remember a darn thing. Next thing I know the dentist is putting something (gauze) in my mouth and they sat me up. I was able to ask (as well as one can with gauze in their mouth!) how it went and they said very good. Simple yanking, no issues. Super! DH took me home and I conked out on the couch. I wasn't really that tired, but when I tried to watch the episode of Y&R I had taped, I kept seeing double of everyone. One Victor is enough for me, so I gave up and fell asleep instead! It's been a week and while I'm still on the Tylenol/Advil every 2-3 hours as needed, I'm not doing too bad. Rinsing after eating sucks though. Makes me think about every food choice. Do I really want that cookie/cheeto bad enough to go into the bathroom to syringe and rinse afterwards? Nope. Too lazy.

DH left for Pennsylvania Monday night to pick up a loader. His buddy Joey went with so they could trade off driving and sleeping. Plan was to be home late this afternoon. Yeah, that didn't happen. The guy we bought the loader from didn't realize how big a semi truck is so they need a wrecker to come in and get the loader out and onto the trailer. Conveniently, there was a spill last night so both wreckers in the area were tending to that. So, DH and Joey spent the night at a Super 8 and got the loader this morning. Last I heard they were entering Indiana and that was a few hours ago. "Lola" (our GPS) claims they'll be home around 6am. Yep, that's going to be one tired DH for Thanksgiving Day!

Here's to hoping I can chew tomorrow and that DH can stay awake to chew at all:)! Happy Thanksgiving!
