Tuesday

The relationship between the orthodontist and I was seriously stretched today when he decided to tighten my braces in an unfriendly way. This fall we made the decision for me to wear braces for 18 months not due to vanity, or wanting my teeth perfect. As my Dad is famous for saying-"no one ever died of crooked teeth.." The dentist told us that my jaw was seriously messed up and if I didn't wear them soon, they would have to break my jaw, wire it shut and then re-set my entire mouth..That doesn't sound like much fun to me at all!
I also was told this jaw issue is a big factor in the amount of migraines I get.
So..In December, braces were put on my teeth.
And, I hate them..
I think when you are 15, its cute and fun..
When you are almost 30..its not so cute and not so fun..
Today..they hurt.
Not like a little tooth ache hurt, but like someone punched me in the mouth hurt...
I've taken Aleve and it doesn't even take the edge off. I'm here on the computer right now because my entire jaw hurts to lay down.

It was sunny here almost all day. Daniel spent the afternoon in his little pool. The big pool should be up this weekend, I just haven't had the chance to get all the chemicals for it. Right now, its nice for Daniel to have a little pool that he can climb in and out of without me being right there. So, I sat out in the sun reading a great new book(sipping cold cold water to help my teeth) while Daniel dove in and out of the water!
I didn't take any photos today, but Im sure i'll capture a few tomorrow to share!

Happy Tuesday to you all!
