"Normal"
It has been a while since my last blog. All is well in the Page house. Even on days when it may not be "well" it is at least "normal" for the Page house. These are a few things that have happened in our lives.
1)We went camping for Labor day and came home proud owners of a new puppy. We named her Cara. I thought if I can take care of 5 kids I can do a puppy. Potty training a puppy is so much different than a child. When one of my kids was not doing well at potty training, I would just put the diaper back on and give myself a break. Well if you ever come over and Cara is sporting a diaper, don't be shocked because I am just about at that point.
2)I took Taylor in for what we thought was just a filling at the Dentist and it turned into an emergency root canal the next day. That was not fun for Taylor or my bank account. That was a horrible Mom moment. When we first arrived at the Dentist, I asked the receptionist if I needed to stay or could run an errand. She said "oh, he's almost 16, its no problem we will take good care of him, don't worry". So I did my errand and returned. When I returned and walked in, it was like the twilight zone. The Dentist was waiting in the waiting room for me. I'm sure my face said "oh crap" and then he said "come with me Mrs. Page". I walked in to the actual procedure area and there was Taylor, looking like a deer in the headlights. His face was saying "what the heck just happened to me and where were you?" Plus, he was drooling, he was so numb and could hardly talk, and had blood, BLOOD I say, all over his pants. People are not supposed to get bloody at the Dentist. Oh, felt like the worst mother EVER!!! Well the bottom line is his cavity was bigger than they thought. The Dentist had to drill so much of the tooth away that the tooth broke and the root was exposed and a few other things that I can't remember, because at that point everything the Dentist was saying was just spinning in my head. All I could think was I was not there for Taylor while all this happened. We went to the specialist the next day for the root canal (which went fine, the doctor even called Taylor personally that night to make sure he was doing alright) and now he is getting a crown next week. Worst Mother Ever!!!
3)My sister in law, Libbi, had her baby. Her name is Hazel Addison Ritz. She is beautiful. Dorey loves her little sister. They are all doing well for being sleep deprived. Hazel is in the up all night, sleep all day phase. I remember those no sleep days. Oh, how I love the smell of a baby' neck sound asleep on your shoulder. I am so glad Mitch and I took care of that possibility, because after holding Hazel I was ready for another one. Then I went home and tried to love on my baby Timmy, but he smelled like Doritos and he told me I was blocking the his game, "Move before my guy gets killed". I will love on him later, and on the bright side, I will sleep tonight.
That's all for now. I will write again soon. Maybe tonight.
