Hope the week isn’t progressing too badly. I’m crossing my fingers that the tooth is easily fixed, and the car does not need that filter. Hey, luck has to be with you at some point, eh?

And I’m really hoping that your tower straightens itself out.

I’m going to just give you a hard time here and say, because of this new article we all read about in the Wall Street Journal, that you should be French so your kids would act like angels, not demons. BEcause the article says French parents do a better job of raising well behaved children. And since I’ve spent the past 11 days in France, I can agree that 90% of the time, this has been the case. Angels in restaurants. Cute little gems on the metro. BUt there was the temper tantrum throwing girl on the street the other day. And the little girl who was having a blast racing with her sister and when her father said it was time to go, she ranted in French that she didn’t FEEL LIKE leaving. He threw her over his shoulder and they left. So yeah, I agree that they know what they are doing. Until they are teenagers. THen the French get a little wild and immature. It’s like they have it together until they are about 10 and then the terrible twos begin.

And if you were in France, you’d have all the free medical care you wanted and you could even convince your pcp to prescribe stress relieving pedicures and massages. I’m serious, there are ways to do that here if your feet or back are your source of pain.

And, you’d have a tiny little car if you lived here, so you’d probably pay less for work on it. PLus you can pretty much always negotiate prices.

So yeah, you should move to France this week. That’s my professional opinion.

You certainly need a vacation! Just reading this gave me a headache. I must admit that I got lost near the end there. No worries. Just breathe and try to find some you time.

Aw, poor you. We all have weeks like this, but that doesn’t make it easier when The Week is happening to you! X
I hope the guys manage to behave themselves, just a bit, on the drive. No mileage in having one in the front seat, the other in the back, with hand-held computer games and/or music players? You know, they do make really big dog-cages, that fit in the back trunk of the car… but then, you have the difficulty of deciding which child to confine in the cage – guess it could be one on the way there and the other on the way back… (joke, honestly it’s a joke…)
I hope the tooth/crown turns out to be okay. I just had a crown fitted, on a molar (not right at the back, about half way). It was okay – much less stress than I expected. The first visit was around 40 minutes to an hour, with my mouth open a fair part of that time – this was the worst part, as I got such a tired mouth. I had made up my mind that it was going to happen, it would be a nuisance, but it was only an hour of my life… and it was ok. The second visit was to replace the temporary crown with the real one that was made in the dental lab. That was barely 20 minutes and I almost skipped out the door. I think a root filling is way worse than a crown… I hope you find that too!
I won’t say “have a good week” as it sounds like a bit of a lost cause – but I do hope it is all much easier than you are expecting and that luck is on your side, with the car repairs and the tower.

Sorry about that.

Um, that sucks. All of it. Not one thing in this sounds like a fun time and I wonder how you aren’t an alcoholic.

But I will tell you that getting a crown is not horrible. I had one and I had it done without novocaine because hey! I’m resistant to all of that stuff courtesy of a botched epidural. So if I can do it with full pain you can totally do it.

Whatever you do, please don’t use your laptop on your lap – you will only end up with neck and back problems.
i had an op on my right hand a while back and taught myself to use my mouse left handed. You could try that to stop the chin leaning thing,

We’ll miss you, but take care. I caught up on Downton Abbey recently, too. Just in time for the season finale.

I SO completely understand this. Mine are two 8 year olds, one 6 year old, one 5 year old, two 2 year olds and one 9 month old. And the about 1.5 year old Teacup Chihuahua. SIGH. . .

So sorry you are feeling poorly, and have no SuperTower. I’ve not watched Dr. Horrible, tho’ it is on my list. Marvin is DD24′s favorite character.
(((((HUGS))))). I am off Sat. at midnight on a whirlwind trip to Virginia w/ DD24 to visit her DH (Sunday) and reclaim their property (Mon.10AM) home around 10pm Monday. ARGH!! Why is my transporter not working??!!
