My secret life as...

A dental hygienist!

I just know you all want to join in the merriment and delight of hauling your 4-year-old son out the door at 7:45 on a Saturday morning & assist with affixing sealants on his bottom 4 molars, right?

Actually he did really well in terms of holding still & cooperating, it's convincing him that his tongue doesn't have to explore all the instruments in his mouth every .001 seconds that is the challenge. We'll do the top 4 in September.

Add to that grocery shopping, getting gas & the car washed and I'm ready to call it a morning even though it isn't 10 yet.

More of why I love my husband, a double shot...

While I was racing around with Kieran early this morning, he discovered that I had neglected a partially-dried and musty load of my jeans in the dryer. He rewashed & redried them without comment until I opened the dryer much later this morning and exclaimed surprise at finding my stuff in there.

Despite my complete & utter stupidity in marking a party that is in two weeks as tomorrow and not figuring it out until this afternoon when I took a closer look at the invitation, he called his family with pluralistic grace regarding the error & that we wouldn't be there to visit them afterward as planned.

Personally, I think he's elated he won't miss the World Cup final after all. I may just make him the nachos he's craving as a surprise.
