On break, just not taking one

Yep, my computer still works.

It's just that Spring Break hit on two separate weeks in my family. One school break was last week, one is currently this week, the hubby started a new job that he loves, and we're pulling quite a balancing act with the help of some family members that we owe a big thanks.

But, it's working. As a result, my usual naps to catch up on my early morning hours didn't make the priority list and unfortunately, neither did my writing on this blog.

Nevertheless, here we go.

I took advantage of the boys extra time off to get in a visit with a new pediatric dentist. To me, pediatric means warm and fuzzy, but the word dentist tends to freak out young children, and mine are not exempt from thoughts of horror. So, I heard the usual, such as:

I don't wanna go.

What's she gonna do?

Does it involve needles?

You have to, just a cleaning, and no, I answered, telling them to hop in the car before momma gets charged a late fee. And off we went. We found ourselves sitting in the waiting room for their names to be called, when a hygienist pushed open the door and the following conversation took place:

Hygienist: Josh's mom?

Josh's mom: Yes?

Hygienist: He's all done.

Josh's mom: Is he still...ALIVE?

Hygienist: (Laughing) Oh yes, but he fought us tooth and nail...hee hee...We had to hold his arms down the entire time.

That's probably when both boys looked at me wide-eyed, as if they'd just seen Grandma naked, and I spent the next ten minutes talking them out of bolting for the door.

Good times.
