Going, Going...

Gone.

All that stuff has been cleared, sorted, and either thrown away, put in the donation bag, or put in it's proper place.  It didn't take that long.  Then I did this (it helped that I posted about it... I almost felt like I HAD to at least start):

I got the table and four chairs primed.  I only have four chairs to go... then I have to do the actual painting.  Okay, this is a big project.  Not one that will take less time than I thought after all.

Today I am back to the dentist.  With Mauri.  This has not been my month for coordinating those appointments.  You know how they usually schedule them 6 months out?  I have always tried to keep the appointments together to conserve time and energy, but I've run into a few snags this time.

Mauri really stresses over going to the dentist (she's like her mom... who - don't tell anyone - hasn't been to the dentist for a couple of years!).  She had her initial appt. on the 1st, and was thrilled to be told she had no cavities and would not need to endure the painful process of getting a cavity filled.  Yesterday morning, however, she let me know that, while eating a chocolate egg, a filling fell out.  Shilo was originally scheduled on the 1st, but needed to reschedule because of play practice, so her appt. is now on the 20th.  Lexee went on the 6th, at which we were asked to consult the ortho before returning to fill a small cavity on the 20th (but not at the same time Shilo will be there).  So I took Lex to the ortho on the 7th, and Mauri will be getting that filling fixed today.  So.... let's see... that's six trips to teeth specialists (all located in the same building) in less than a month.  And if Shilo needs to come back for any reason following her initial visit, it could raise to seven.  Talk about going... and going...
