Today, we started off the day with a nice mug of coffee, and then some relaxing time on the couch. Lina sat beside us while George did his "Catly" job by hunting the odd all black wasp looking creature that flew into our house. George did not full fill his duties because Scott had to swap him with a bible study book of mine. I think George felt a little De-Man-ded. We then got Scott all ready to go to Vegas for his work conference... I helped him pick out some very "stylish" outfits that he looked very cute in, then we packed him up, and he was off to the airport at noon. Lina and I then decided to take a nice long nap starting on the couch but then we migrated to the bedroom where we disturbed George's slumber. We woke up to a nice clean house that I decided to randomly clean while Scott was getting ready, but I am mighty glad that it's done with and now I can slump around while Scott's gone and not worry abot cleaning up the mess! I went over to a co-worker/friends house to help her pack a little and to go to dinner. It was a nice night with some Twilight involved which always makes for a good time! Now, here Lina and I sit on the couch at 11:30 at night, and George is up in his den being angry about something? Tomorrow my sister in-law (scott's real sister) is coming over to see the baby room and to have lunch, so I'm very happy that I cleaned and that I don't have to worry about it in the morning. I can sleep in, which will only be till about 7 because I am now wired to not sleep in past the hour of 8 because I work early hours at work. I can maybe even have time to take a morning nap too! Scott called after he got out of the Nintendo meeting and he got a free copy of Super Mario Brothers! I am very excited for him to come home with all his fun free goodies! He seemed to be having a good time which is good! I am awaiting his second call but I have a feeling I might be catching z's when he calls. I'm off to lock all the doors, close all the blinds and fall asleep! Night Night

Root Canals & Temp Crowns
Last night I woke up in a "huff" because I remembered that tomorrow would be the first day I assist with a full root canal. Intimidated? Yes, very much so. It was relieving though to have a friend/coworker by my side to walk me through it along with the doctor. Final Outcome? It was a lot easier than I thought! I felt really good about it all... Yes, there were hiccups at times but it went very well! I also made not one but two temporary crowns on this patient as well on teeth # 7 and 10 which are the two teeth beside your front top teeth. I felt very good about those as well, and felt successful. I've learned that it is very helpful to have the assistant help me rather than the Doc. No offense to the Dr.s, but the Assts. seem to know how to explain things better and the Docs. are also in a hurry. So, yes I feel much more comfortable with "Endo" (Root Canals) now, and I feel that I have great potential with this practice. My Dad just recently had a root canal, and I have to say it is more interesting to me now that I know exactly what happened. I never thought that teeth would be something I would be interested in. I guess God smacked me in the face with a future because I know that if it weren't for the cleaning I went in for that one November afternoon, I would not have ever though about going into Dentistry. But, boy am I glad that that's where I fell! Today, we hired a new EDDA Asst. and although I didn't get to talk to her much, she seems like she will be a great piece to our team. I am bummed that she will be replacing a friend though, so that transition will be hard. I think I am getting a cold because my throat is a little sore but hopefully some rest, vit. c, netti pot, and nasal spray can help me recover quickly. Tomorrow I am going appartment shopping to help a coworker/friend out. Hopefully we find something around Aurora and by work. We'll keep our fingers crossed! Time for Sam and I to lay down... Night

Busy Weekend
This weekend I wish I had a twin that could pretend to be me. I felt like I was pulled in several directions and now I am pooped. Yesterday I got a call at 8 in the morning from one of the Doctor's, and I had to go in to assist with an extraction, than I was invited to my nephew Finn's 1st birthday, so I went over to his house to celebrate than I was called a second time to help the other Doc. with another extraction. It was overall a very busy day! Today I got to sleep all day which was nice except for the fact that I am now wired to go and it is midnight . Tomorrow is my "24 weeks" appt. but I'm really 25 weeks measuring at 26 weeks. So hopefully little Sam is doing well in there, she is moving a lot which is a good sign. Last night we bought one of her car seats, it's pink and brown with birdies and flowers on it, we also bought a buzzy/swinging chair, which matching the color of our couch and has a pink flower and lady bug for her to look up at. Than, I ordered the changing table we registered for off line and got the changing pad and changing pad cover. So overall it was a busy Sam weekend! We also bought some decoration for her room... a fairy canvas, a soft duck picture, and a clock! We still have one more wall to cover and we don't know what we are going to do with that yet. Now, we have to do the curtains, the closet, and get the rocking chair. We're almost done!

A Light @ The End of The Tunnel?
This is a random picture taken' about two months ago, or maybe even longer ago? I think it was actually before I was pregnant... hmmm. Anywho it's a silly picture of me but a cute one of my beans. Today, Scott and I had to run to petsmart to get her some ear "gunk" cleaner. She seems to me much "perkier" to me now that she has clean ears. While we were there, there was a boxer, golden retriever, and a basset hound doing some doggy training school. They were very funny to watch because none of them wanted to be there. The Golden kept looking around for someone to pet him/her, the basset hound looked exhausted and a little annoyed that he/she was even there with the big dogs, and the boxer just looked too hyper and out of it to even realize where it was. We never attempted to bring Lina to a training class because she would soon forget all of her lessons and go back to her princess ways. She is a very loyal pup and that's all that matters to me. Although, I would love not to have to lock her up every time we leave, but if we don't she likes to "potty" on the carpet... UGH! She is very appreciative of me and Scott though! She met a fellow pom the other day... His name was TAZ, and she did not like Taz because Taz likes to bark as much as she does and that doesn't settle for a good match now does it. Lina still misses our old golden retriever, Sandy and still gets excited to this day if you say her name. :( Lina got to go to Breckenridge and Frisco this weekend... Although I did not have a ball of fun, I'm pretty sure her and Scott had a good time. There's just something about being 6 months pregnant and not wanting to be in the car for longer then 20 minutes. It's funny all the wierd pregnancy symptoms I've had... Awful rash, leg cramps, acid reflex, horrible back aches, Sam kicking me in the ovaries, and never seeming to get a big full breath. I know that this will all be worth it but I am already looking forward to the end of pregnancy and not having to go through it for another five years, so hopefully God grants me a quick next four months, and an easy labor! We shall see what he has in store for me though, I guess one never knows. Tomorrow is my long day at work and we do not get a lunch because all three Doctors will be in and all three doctors decided to schedule appts. over lunch... how considerate of them! Oh well, business is business and a job is valuable right now. I am looking forward to maternity leave even if we have to cut our cable for three months to afford it, I'm def. looking forward to a "summer break" type time. Even though I won't be sleeping very much, I am still excited to be thinking about something else other than work. Scott goes to Las Vegas this month for a work convention. It'll be interesting to see how Lina tolerates him being gone. When I left for Washington she was pretty depressed, so we will see what the outcome is! I think Scott will have fun learning about all these new systems! He'll be very busy though! I on the other hand will be at home working. Work has been going by fast lately which is a plus because sometimes those 10 hour days seem to be never ending. Just keeping a positive attitude will be part of the solution to keeping those fast going days! I slept all day today and it was very nice! I had a peanut butter sandwhich which is one of my favs! Well, time for bed! Gotta get up earlier then the sun! Yikes!

Jealous of Amelia Bedilia
It's hard to make everyone happy isn't it? It's hard to just smile and not say anything for me. Sometimes holding my tongue is harder than I think. Why can't it be easier than it is. Sometimes I wish I was a little more like Amelia Bedilia... Naive about things rather than picking every situation I'm in. Maybe I just haven't learned enough about myself yet to the point where I know how to control myself and just stay out of things. For some reason if someone looks upset I have to ask why and know the details. Why can't I just go on with life and not ask and if they want to tell me, they can just tell me. I guess I just need to learn more about myself and try and teach myself how to shut my lips at the appropriate times. We'll see!! Til' Then!
