As one might expect, Miss teenager's teeth hurt. She wanted to lose 5 pounds to fit into the dress for the Vampire Le Stat ball. Consider her level of tooth pain it looks like those pounds will just melt away. Poor baby is on round the clock ibuprofen and something a little stronger at sleep time.

Oh, and by the way, she is just lov-er-ly to live with while her teeth hurt too much to eat enough to satisfy her hunger.
It is like dancing with a grizzly. Did I mention that she decided to go vegetarian this week also? Teeth hurt, hungry and not eating meat. All we need now is her period to start and it will be a banner week.



Meanwhile back in fourth grade, son has a test on the three branches of government, etc tomorrow. Try studying for this with a child who is dyslexic, ADD and the meds have worn off for the evening. "Stop moving, put your feet on the floor, concentrate, you can do this, you are smart, executive starts with e and so does enforce, the executive branch enforces the laws, senate sounds like send it, you send a letter to a house, the other part of congress is the house of representatives, how many justices are there, good job, you're getting it, what is a representative democracy, I know it's hard, you can do it, what are the three branches of the government, good job you got it, WOO HOO!!!"
