sleepy slothy soul

mornin folks---

i finally slept last night! like a normal person... like the sloth that i am. woo hoo ! i slept all night long (11-630-ish) and woke up feeling like i actually did sleep. seems like forever since that has happened. i'm wondering now, if i have a harder time sleeping with soulman gone than when he is here. cuz i have noticed that before-- the last time he was gone all night. might have somethin
to do with worrying about soulkid--and sleeping to hard to hear her if she needed me, or if somethin happened ya know. but anyhow (have you ever realized just how difficult it is to try to write when someone is walking all over the house -over and over , and talking-- constantly-- ugh-- i cannot concentrate, for nuthin.. ugh)-- oh, yes, i do speak of soulman here-- he's on a mad search for his x-box battery pack.. and talkin about everything.. from fish, to sinus headaches.. "God love him". :))
ok-- anyhow, where the hell was i ??? who knows? anyhow-- i slept like a baby last night-- but i do think i slept "wrong", cuz my neck feels like i pinched a nerve. but hey--at least i don't think i will be needin a nap in an hour. man i hate days like that.

hmmm.. what next?
oh-- soulman DID get our 07 taxes fired off last night. woo hoo!! we will be gettin a small amount of cash from uncle sam for that--- but-- as for 06? we should prolly hold on to the 07 money to cover our ass for that one. it'll cost a few hundred just to file them.. plus i have a bad feeling we will owe money that year , AND perhaps a penalty fee for being oh so very late in filing. regardless-- we gotta get those out of here asap.

oh--- and my TOOTH--


i got that fixed yesterday--- it wasn't as easy as i had hoped or thought it would be. but hell-- is ANYTHING? EVER ??? holy crap. of course i had thought that i would go in, get it glued back on , and be out of there. did it happen that way? well no. of course not. it-- my own tooth-- hurt too bad to even touch.. at all. so of course they had to numb it up. i thought i might have a cavity-- it just really hurt .. bad . but - no cavity-- just sensitive for whatever reason. so it takes half an hour to get numb. then he goes to put the crown back on.. and somehow, the gum-line there had already started to grow... so the crown wouldn't set right--- take a wild guess what they had to do to fix that problem. it was surely unexpected by me--- not only that-- something i had never even heard of--- and you know it's CUZ I AM ME.
they had to BURN the damn gum line around the area of the tooth where the crown had to go. yep-- with a lazer-- or so he called it-- BUT i saw flame! small.. but flame nonetheless. oooh scary. thank God i was numb. i couldn't feel any of it-- or thank God smell it-- burning flesh--- ohhhhh. but i did hear it-- pop pop pop .. very strange. but anyhow--- once he did that-- he was able to put it back on.. and i was outta there-- and it only took over an hour there and over an hour driving time. it's prolly not the most brilliant thing in the world to have your dentist be thirty miles away in this area.. with traffic--- but i don't like change-- and he has been my dentist for years.. so.. it's worth the drive. plus i like to tease hubby about "the cute dentist". he has never even seen him, and he hates him :).

speakin of hubby-- when i got home from the dentist he was home. it was good to see him, and his sunburnt self :)) he always burns-- poor guy with that red headed fair skin. he doesn't have "red hair" but he has that skin of a red head.
my tongue was like six inches thick from the Novocaine, plus i was sooo thoroughly exhausted, from not sleeping, driving, and the traffic, not to mention every time i get Novocaine it by itself makes me tired. so i wasn't very talkative-- i could hardly talk even when i tried to. at first, he took it personally that i wasn't ecstatic and chatty that he was here-- but once he heard me talk-- he understood and gave me time for my mouth to wake up. which took like another hour. ugh i hate that feeling.

also, when i got home-- i found out that my "baby" was out walking around-- up at the shopping center with her new "boyfriend" . i knew he was coming over-- but it's still just weird to me. she has had boyfriends before-- but that was when she was younger-- and really i didn't think too much about it. ya know. she was a kid. now she's 14. ugh.
the boy is actually a nice kid, and polite etc. little on the skinny side-- and a vegetarian. --- now i know where all the vegetarian talk is coming from when soulkid tries to go veggie on me. lol. BUT the thing about that? the girl doesn't eat vegetables ! seriously. so even when she does attempt it-- it only lasts a few days before she realizes she's starving to death ! LOL.

so anyhow--- i spose that's the update in soulland for now.

oh.. cept for THIS :

look what i found while hunting down a sloth photo----




Tree Sloth Charm


Tree Sloth Charm

This whimsical sloth charm was inspired by Marty's trip to Costa Rica where she watched them lazily sleeping in the trees. Marty designed this charm to hang from the chain in the same fashion that these amazing creatures often hang from the branches. The charm is 3/4" long and is completely three dimensional.

Sleep is a good thing - or so I've heard. Gotta try it sometime. Yep, I'm having one of those no-sleep-runs.

Glad the crown is back in place and the pain is over. Sounds like an ordeal.

Happy humpday to you, too.

Jamie said...

Hey you---i'm home but I have tons to do...ugh. I'm fried from the day, could be that I'm getting too old to sling ice cream...

Happy to hear that you are in good spirits today, this morning when we talked, it was too early for anything.

Have a great evening, I will be around, altho I have to come up with a business plan...ugh. Save me.

xo

So much goin on, we all get so stressed, you'd think we'd be sleepin like babies every night, but NOOOOOOOO. When I worked for a plastic surgeon we got to try the laser so I had the dude zap a vein upon which I promptly screamed,"I love my vein, get off." No novacaine was even offered. The sloth charm is lovely. You must buy one for all of us, don't ya think?

How cuuttee! Love them sloths!

Blur Ting said...

Hehe,the sloth charm is so cute!

Yah, so good to hear you've slept well,like a normal person should! I think you wake up too many times at night sue to anxiety. Like you're worried the dogs may need you or your kid. You've got to learn to let go. Tell yourself that your kid is all grown up, and that you don't have to check on her anymore (unless her boyfriend's over:-)

Slowly you can sleep well again.

Cheryl said...

Em was a vegetarian for about 3 months. It was terrible because she hardly eats vegetables and wouldn't eat tofu. I called her a carbohydrate vegetarian. She finally gave it up because she was starving.

I hope you sleep again. Funny the things we're thankful for. Sleep is a biggie.

Moohaa said...

That crown sounds like it hurt like heck. No more Big Hunks!

By the way, thanks to you, my boys tried the Big Hunk for the first time. Little dude almost lost a tooth from it. Seriously. It ended up falling out the next day!

SOUL said...

hi everybody--

funny the thoughts this one generated !

mary-- hope ou got some sleep last night-- i know how it sucks to not-- ugh.

brad-- HUH???? :))

POrtia-- weird thing-- the pain was the worst when the crown was off-- once it was back on the toothe didn't hurt anymore-- but the part he had to -- lazer-- saulder--whatever the hell he did-- that was sore til yesterday but not terrible-- better today.
soulkid-- :))
and the bf-- hmm.. so far, no reason to think otherwise. seems ok so far. kinda makes me think like that kid on leave it to beaver tho-- the one that was just a little "too polite" to the folks- ya know? hmmm.
"mr. and . mrs cleaver". :))

SOUL said...

Jessica said...

Holy crap they seriously burned your freakin gum???? Ouch!!!! I woulda ran out of that chair as fast as my little legs would take me. You're a brave for for sticking it out!!!

Glad you got a decent nights sleep. I hope the trend continues.

SOUL said...

jess--
you know if i wasn't numb-- i sure woulda ran out outta there !! FIRE! in my mouth? i don't think so..
the drill-- hell even the needle-- is bad enough--
it wasn't bad tho-- i didn't feel it-- til a few hours later.

as for sleep-- last night was pretty decent too-- i think i'm on a roll... woo hoo---

don't let me know about it tho-- it might stop !
:))

happy thursday!

Rebecca said...

Heya. Late to the party as usual! The sloth charm is great..you should definitely start putting hints out at home...mother's day is coming up, you know :)

Glad you slept well Tuesday night into Wed. and hope it continues. It seems the only way I sleep through these days is if the cat is locked out of the room. Unless my husband isn't home. Then I sleep just fine because I leave the bedroom door open so that all the critters can come and go at will. He hates that.

Also glad you tended to the dental work. GAWD i need a dentist!! My job pays ok, but no dental insurance. We are getting that through Brian's new gig. Not sure how long we have to wait for it to kick in. ARGH.

Happy Thursday :)

Angie Weid said...

Yeah for a good night sleep!!

I think you should treat yourself to the sloth necklace. It's AWESOME!!

JLee said...

That tooth thing sounds awful! I just don't want to know what they're doing, whatever it is. lol
You have got to get that charm...so cute!

EE said...

A wanna-be vegan who hates vegetables...I'm laughing my ass off, Soul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
