Some days are just a bit more rough than others. And some days I am just a bit more emotional than others. Some days I am more emotional because the day is more rough. Whatever the case, today was one of those days.
After experiencing shooting tooth pain the night before last, I decided to go to the dentist today to have it checked out. Turns out, I most likely fractured my tooth...who knows how? They can't exactly tell because a fracture doesn't show up on the X-ray until it gets severe. But that is most likely what is going on. Now, I have a high tolerance to pain, but when it comes to tooth pain...I'm a baby. Maybe because it is caused when you eat or drink (eating being my favorite pastime). So when one of my favorite pastimes because painful, I get emotional.
So after waiting for 45 minutes for them to examine my tooth and then another 30 for them to tell me about the root canal, more bad news followed when they told me the price tag. With insurance, this root canal from some unknown cause (I take immaculate care of my teeth), is going to cost me $700. $700!!!!!! Where are we going to find the money for that? Its not like we have that laying around.
I cried all the way home.
So after a tearful, morning/afternoon, more tears were interspersed from Isabella when we would go to change her diaper. She has got a SERIOUS diaper rash. Open sores. Crying when we try to clean her up. Big, giant crocodile tears (what does that term even mean?)
So sad. What a sad day. Lots of tears.
Also, dinner with my college friends was cancelled.
So, Derrik ran out and got me lots of Qdoba: a burrito, guac, and queso.
Sometimes, I eat my feelings.
PS - This is not a picture of Isabella crying over her rash. I don't think I could take a picture of my baby in pain but this was another random fit she threw...

Jamie, if time = BFF than my dentist and I are truly BFFs. Every time I go in she has more bad news. . .ugh. . .teeth! I'm sorry for you and Isabella's pain :( no fun. But maybe, if quac has emotional healing powers, maybe try it on the rash?? love you, friend.
