Decay

This weekend we had a family wedding. It was at a vineyard in Skaneateles NY - possibly one of the most beautiful towns in the country. We had a great time at the wedding and were able to use Babcia Morphet as babysitter, so things were all good.

I just don't know about this karma stuff. We have a really nice evening and then I wake up to pain that reminds me of being in labor - except for this time it is in my mouth. I am pretty sure a root canal is in my near future. It seems like everything in life comes at a price for us.

I was basically nonfunctional because of the pain. And then I opened the letter from the school district. I always seem to get kicked when I am down. The school district has rescinded the services it initially agreed to for Sophia.

So I had the root canal yesterday afternoon - yawza. Throb, throb, throb. A meeting is scheduled for 10:30 today with the assistant director of special ed. A call has been placed to a lawyer but I will likely not have confered with him before the appointment. I feel weary. All because of the decay... my teeth, the system.

At least I'll probably lose a few pounds out of the deal.

I am feeling your tooth pain. Literally. Came on Monday afternoon and started a root canal Thursday, but won't be finished for a few days yet. Lucky me, I couldn't have the nominal 3 canals, I had to have 4. And the "extra" one is curvy. It is amazing how distracting the pain is. I sit and stare at my homework and can't figure out where the greek variables end and the english instructions begin! Keeping up with the kids at that point must have been hard enough, but dealing with bureaucracy in that condition. Shudder.
