W'apow mu e, 

 

Joe took the kids to school this morning.  He went straight to the dentist after that.  The dentist told him to be there at 8:30.  The dentist did not come until after 10:00.  Joe said that the dentist's "new equipment" looked like it came from the Dark Ages.  It involved a burner and a torch.  Joe said that it felt like they poured hot lava in his tooth; they did not numb it or give him any pain medicine.  He is supposed to go back on Tuesday for more torture.


I got some things done around the house this morning.  Danny had requested brownies yesterday.  I did not have time yesterday, but I made some today.

The kids helped LF wash the car when they got home from school.  They always end up as wet as the car; that's one way to cool off.


After supper, I played a game of Monopoly Junior with the kids.  Joe's mouth was hurting.  Danny won tonight.  I was the first one to run out of money.  Gilbert said, "I'm sorry that you lost, Mom."  Bonnie is never the loser.  She was the "third winner" tonight.


Nantsew yie!
