I should know what I'm doing...

but

I feel like I'm all thumbs

~~

I went to school for dental assisting when I was 18

then

worked as assistant off and on for 8 years

while specializing in ortho

and

now that I'm 45

you'd think it would be like a riding a bike

~~

but no

instead I feel like I've never seen the inside a mouth before

~~

my daughter had her wisdom teeth out years ago

and

it all went pretty well

and

really I don't remember any of it

except assisting the doctor on a sunday morning

for an emergency visit

when she got a blood clot the size of a golf ball

and

he couldn't get one of his girls to come in

~lucky me~

~~

but

now my son just had his wisdom teeth out yesterday

and

the bloody gauze and ice packs

and

him pale from not eating

and

him not eating because it hurts

and

it hurting because he's not eating so I can't give him his pain medication

arrghhhhh

~~

gosh I love being a mom

edited

he finally ate and wouldn't stop and I got his medicine into him

and

he slept through the night

~

maybe

this won't be so bad after all

so how's your day

?

~~~~~

and

ummm yes, I know these photos have nothing to do with wisdom teeth, but with

halloween this weekend and a gazillion pumpkin photos that I took

well, you know

~

~anyone else gagging over all christmas displays in all the stores already

or is just me~
