A Glimpse Into My Life ...

The other day while Don, the kids and I were out and about I noticed a bumper sticker on this one vehicle (they had it stuck on the dashboard):

When the knitting competition was started, I started a pair of socks - I didn't work on them very frequently (mostly when I went visiting), however, on Saturday night I managed to finish these socks .... including doing the kitchener stitch on the toes and weaving in all the ends.

Here are a couple of pictures that I took of them (the yarn that I used is On Your Toes wild print):

The toes are a bit pointier than I prefer but I love how the stripes came out fairly close - I separated one ball of yarn into two and when you do this, you don't always get the stripes to line up.

A couple of weeks ago Joshua was fitted for an appliance that stays on his teeth unless he is eating - the purpose of this appliance is to push one of his teeth out where it belongs (so it lines up with the rest of his teeth instead of trying to hide behind them).

Everything has been going really smoothly with this device - he takes it out (and brushes it to clean it), he puts it back in, it stays in pretty much 24/7.  However, last night when we went to have supper he took the device out of his mouth and somehow managed to pull a tooth out with it!!!!!

So, this morning I phone the dentist and see if they can squeeze him in - they ask what the problem was and I told them, I get put on hold and when Kyla comes back on the line she says "Can you be here at 10:00?", you bet, we will be there no problem.  When we get there, Josh is pretty much escorted right in and it turns out I didn't have to worry at all - his teeth are looking good (the adult tooth is already poking through where the other one came out), they had to tighten up the device because when he pulled out his tooth it caused the device to become loose.  Oh and they also gave us a better toothbrush specifically meant for cleaning these types of devices.

I'm glad that it was such an easy fix .... and yes, I'll probably worry just as much if it happens again, lol.
